REX & MANDY ON NEW YEARS EVE!!
Where to begin? Mandy broke her first horse when she
was ten years old. Her mom had picked up
a little grade Appaloosa mare that was green broke, her name was Cherokee. Mandy trained that mare and used her to compete
in team penning, speed shows, barrel racing, and so much more! She won numerous pay checks, trophies, and belt buckles. When she was too busy competing on other horses Cherokee was used
by her sisters and brother and has continued to win with ANYONE put on her
back. It was in those years Mandy developed her passion for horse, but maybe she was born with it.
Throughout school Mandy worked
at a local tack/feed store, was breaking outside horses, and fixing problem
horses on the side. After high school she took a job in Saratoga at another store and from then she was
introduced to the world of Race Horses. Starting at Stone Bridge farm in the spring of 2005 as a groom and
exercise rider then relocating to Ocala
in September of 2005. It was there she began the Thoroughbred breaking season working for
Jimmy Miranda, owner of Rapid Run Farm.
For three more years she sharpened her skills and learned about prepping
the sales horses as yearlings and two year old in training.
Currently Mandy is
employed at Glen Hill a 400 Acre farm in Marion County. They are a Breeding & Racing operation
that has about 25 broodmares and the horse population is usually around 100
head. In the afternoons she stays busy gallop/breeze,
exercise ride, and breaking horses for all disciplines including pleasure, hunt
seat, reining, polo and more!
One of her favorite ways to pass the time is
interacting with Barrel racing horses. She
has always trained her own horses and continues to do so, as well as welcoming
outside horses too. She has competed successfully in NBHA, AQHA open shows,
jackpots and rodeos and looks forward to getting more active in the Futurity Scene. Her first experience
with the futurities was December of 2007 with Firewaters Fast Cash, from there she took him to a few more futurities and really enjoyed it. He was the first colt she raised and trained
specifically for barrels and hope there is many more to come. Be sure to check back for updates on my 2011
