| Bella Triana Triana was acquired through a trade with long-time Peruvian Paso breeder Lynne Brookes in 2008. Triana is a good-sized mare with a lovely, kind eye. She has lots of reach and is incredibly smooth. Her first foal by LEC Nino de Soberano was born on July 3,2009: A lovely bay filly with four socks and a star, strip and snip. |

| Bandolina PPP Bandolina doesn't mind our Iowa winters as she is a Canadian-born girl. We purchased her from Crescent Moon Ranch in Acme, Alberta in 2006, in foal to PJP Diamante del Norte for use as a brood mare. I've only ridden Bandolina three times since we brought her home; she's easy to handle and very well-gaited. So far she's had three foals for us. |

| Tesora Carinosa de Veneno We bought my beloved Tessie as a weanling from MW Stables in Commiskey, Indiana in 1998. Tessie is a gentle mare with tremendous brio. She is a spectacular mover with lots of lift. She has been trail-ridden, performed in several breed demos, shown in open shows, and ridden in many, many parades. In fact, the fifth time I rode her was in a parade with 150 entries. After the parade, a spectator commented that, "She (Tessie) is really a lady." Once at a breed demo, a little boy was heard to say of Tessie, "Mom, that horse is showing off." Tessie had her first foal this year, a beautiful, heart-stealing filly. |
