| Russ and Kelly threw Barbie out in the pasture when they brought her home. She stayed there till July. That's when Vicki and Duane George came to their house and instantly fell in love with her. They bought her on the spot for $4,500. They took her home the following weekend and Vicki let her sister Donna work Barbie to try to get her into shape for the Gold Star. They entered her in two classes at the show .... |

| Barbie went to Donna's house about 3 weeks before showtime. Donna borrowed the hunt seat outfit because she had never shown Hunter before. Barbie hit all her leads and did a wonderful job!! Right after the show, Russ got another job and funds were flowing again. Russ and Kelly immediately went and purchased Barbie back again from Vicki and George for $5,000. Barbie came home to them in October 2007. |

| Barbie in June 2009 |
| Right after we weaned the Fausto Filly off Barbie in July, she went to Hillside Ranch to go back in training with Sheena Ford. We told Sheena to ride her and expose her to anything and everything 'spooky' --- get her ready for parade life. In the meantime, while she was there Dani took riding lessons off her. Here are a few pics we clicked of Barbie at Sheena's taken in August 2009. |
|
|
| Barbie came home in mid September. We swapped her out with another mare we had just purchased that we wanted Sheena to break out. Barbie has been living out in the pasture since then. Dani has ridden her once since she's been home. Barbie is offered FOR SALE right now. We've purposely priced her very low in order to see her go to a nice family who will appreciate her and love her. |
