Tanya Konopinski & Dos
Tanya purchased this palomino gelding from us in the end of May 2011. His name is ME BINGO and he is known around the barn as "DOS". We sold Dos right before we got married and bought a ten acre farm. It was very hard to do, Dos was a very special horse to us. He came in with some problems & issues and after many hours, and miles in the saddle we brought Dos back to the top of his game, winning several 1D & 2D checks on him week after week.
Dos was sold within 24 hours of being listed for sale on Barrel Horse World. Mandy shipped him to Pennsylvania to meet his new owners & show them how to ride him. Tanya trail rides Dos most everyday as well as taking him camping on the weekends. She picked right up where Mandy left---- winning!!
Tanya has won the 1D at several IBRA Jackpots as well as winning the Pole Bending events too. She has picked up several checks on him, again and again!
In August Tanya took Dos to the NBHA Super Show- Colonial Nationals in Lexington, Virginia. They ran a pair of 15.9's each day to sit middle of the 2D.
The next weekend they run a 15.9 at an IBRA show to win the 1D.
Its so nice to get text messages on a regular basis with updates on their winnings and how much she loves this horse!
We could not have asked for a better home for our boy Dos! Thank you Tanya & Kevin

Prayer Bear
"Bear" is a 2006 Thoroughbred Gelding by Song & Prayer. Owned by the Charles' Family. Mandy galloped & breezed Bear in Ocala before he was sent off to the Race Track. After being retired from racing, his owners were looking for a new career. Mandy spent about 30 days in the round pen working on collecting and handling. Bear has a great foundation on him and rides like a show horse. He really breaks at the poll and collects himself. Bear had about 45 days on the barrel pattern and was loping through slowly and was hauled to a few local arenas.
Bear went home in January 2010 - Thank you Kelly & Kasey Charles
Ellie
"Ellie"
2002 Sorrel AQHA mare that came in for a tune up on the barrel pattern in October 2009. Ellie had been to a reining trainer an spent a considerable amount of time in barrel training in KY, but seemed to need some more seasoning & fine tuning, specially with the first barrel. With about 45 days Ellie had a lot of riding to soften her mouth, freshen her head an get a better foundation on the barrels. She was hauled lightly an won a check in the 3D at Williston with a nice little run! Photo by Unique Visions

Royalty Has Arrived
"Bucky"
1989 AQHA Brown Gelding. Purchased as a 14 year old, Buck had been used strictly as a team penning horse, roping, and ranch horse. I continued to pen cattle on him and promptly trained this gelding on the barrels when i retired my main mare, Continetal Belle, to the broodmare pen. Within six months he went from loping the barrels and looking for cattle to running 1D/2D times. I ran him in NBHA shows, AQHA shows, Open jackpots, and APRA Rodeos. We won year end belt buckles, and Buck helped me finish up the NBHA season in 2005 to be the VERMONT YOUTH 1D STATE CHAMPION saddle winner!! After I moved to Florida I sold Buck to my sister.
