Writing

Have not written in a while....too much other stuff going on....I do plan to write more about the Head family...the newspaper may do a layout of old photos of them and a short article....they were very interesting folk...turn-of-the-century,self-sufficient, and independent folk ...very close-knit family that cared about each other a lot. I also want to write about Gloria Dickson and our wonderful adventures with her and her family.....will have just one foal this year...from Esmo, my beautiful golden palomino, the only daughter I have left that is by Mighty Prince Deck, the Quarter Horse stallion that started me in the breeding business in 1979. My stallion now, Pay Mighty Deck (Mighty), is also by Prince, who died in 1997, at the age of twenty-two. I had owned him since he was a three-year-old colt.  He was an extremely beautiful shiny black horse that stopped people in their tracks, he was that good-looking.....the best confirmation and a wonderful gentle disposition....all the horses I have now, except for Jet, the twenty-six year-old mare by Jet's Payday, carry his blood. Prince was by Mighty Deck, an own son of Top Deck, both legends in their time...on the racetrack as well as the breeding barn. Top Deck came off the King Ranch and was a foundation sire for the modern-day racing Quarter Horse. Prince was well-named..he was quite regal. I hope this foal is a filly..more breeding stock for the future....I have been very fortunate to be able to live my dream as a child of having some really good horses, right in the back yard.
