We have added a page in the Historical Information section, a transcript of an interview of Benny Damele with Sunny Martin from 1991. This historical document is likely to be of interest to anyone with an interest in the curly breed.
My riding mare Lila is discplining the colts White Bird and Blaze. I do not know what they did to deserve it. But they NEVER did it a second time.

Our goal is to breed a curly horse that is strong enough for a man and gentle enough for a child. Our main focus is breeding trail horses. This has a reason. We believe that the mental ability to be a good trail horse will carry over into the show ring. This is because a good trail horse must adapt to unknown situations. This kind of willingness is an asset in the show ring.
We believe in the horses that we breed and we stand by our word. For this reason we have a written "Buyers' Protection Guarantee." Ask us about it. Before you purchase any Horse, from us or from someone else:, we strongly recommend that you visit the horse in person or have a trustworthy representative visit the horse. A pre-purchase vet exam should be part of almost any purchase. We will be glad to recommend several good veterinarians in our area for pre-purchase examinations.
Wayne and I try to have pictures on our web site showing our horses as they actually are. "Action" pictures can be exciting, but they often don't provide the information you need to judge the quality of a horse. We try to show the horses' conformation and where possible, the temperament and behavior. We don't always have a large number of photos of all our horses because we give priority to handling and training them. We believe this best serves both the horses and the purchaser.
Sincerely,
Penny and Wayne
Kate is a 2 year old filly with a strong work ethic and a solid mind. Her dam is Sarina, ABCR-S516 and her sire is Mississippi Mud Slinger, ABCR-3022.
In the photo on the left you can see her brave carriage and good forward movement. The other picture shows her accepting my "thank you" for a job well done during training.
See our Horses For Sale page for additional information and more photos of Kate.
This is Chief, a 2006 foal out of our mare Maeve. He looks very much like a son of Spartacus. His movement is also similar to that of Spartacus also. This is because Chief's dam, Maeve, is of the Bill Mare line which influenced Spartacus greatly.
Chief has been broke to ride. He is doing well under saddle and is making the young lady who owns him very happy.
Here is Chief and his young owner riding the lope. Her mother feels very secure and comfortable when her daughter rides Chief.
