Sunrise's Gold Spike
 

Our first big break into “show business” came when we bought Sunrise’s Gold Spike from Larry Stevens at the 2001 Celebration Show in Ava. With Jennalee Stevens riding, Gold Spike had placed 2nd in the 2 year old Breeders Cup, and at the Celebration took Reserve Amateur 2 Year Old Stallion/Gelding World Champion. We took him home to Minnesota and rode Spike all winter, learning how to ride the Fox Trot and the show walk. Our first show with Spike was the 2002 Ava Spring Show. In their first class, Barb rode Spike and won the 3 Year Old Amateur Owned and Trained. Barb and Gold Spike went on to place or win in nearly every show they entered. The highlights of their accomplishments were the 2003 Reserve Amateur 3 Year Old Stallion/Gelding World Championship and the Out of State World Grand Championship in 2006.

Phill has also been successful riding Gold Spike, winning his first class, riding Spike in a large Men’s class at the 2003 Spring Futurity Show in Ava. Phill has also ridden Spike in the amateur canter classes and took 3rd Place in the 2006 Amateur World Grand Championship.

 

And most recently Nicki Ogle won the 2007 Mid-America 11 and under Championship and the 2007 Youth World Grand Championship, 11 and under at the Fall Celebration Show.

Buckaroo Spirit B.

Buckaroo Spirit B. was ridden by Roy Brown at the 2006 Celebration. He won the 3 year old Versatility Futurity Open by wining all three qualifying classes: Trail, Pleasure and Cutting. Phill is currently learning “cutting cattle” with Buckaroo. 

We also trail ride with both Gold Spike and Buckaroo.
