Dillon
Owned by Erica Underwood
Dillon was an awesome 15.2hh registered Quarter Horse gelding that was boarded at RSEC for the past year. Looking more like a small warmblood, he wass quite an eye-catcher and had many fans wherever he went. His best friends were Spartan and Ben, and he was best known for his rolly-polly-ness and love of food - any kind of food! Dillon and Erica enjoyed both dressage and jumping and competed for the first time this 2011 season in the eventing circuit with huge success. Erica and Dillon recently moved out to Alberta and will be greatly missed.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Erica on her untimely loss of Dillon in an accident at his new home.. He will be greatly missed and remembered by many. R.I.P. Dillon.

Owned by Samantha White
Susie aka Solar Eclipse is a 5 year old, 15hh Standardbred/Percheron/x mare owned by Samantha White. She is what we would call a black beauty; stunning to watch, super mover, beautiful mare. Susie has a super sweet personality - she is the get-in-your-face type that enjoys attention but doesn't need it. She is just as happy to receive a treat and then tell you to piss off afterwards and go back to what she was doing. This horse and rider pair fits together like a glove. Susie was here for some schooling in the spring of 2010 and returns regularly for schooling and shows. We are so very excited to see what this young mare and her owner will accomplish.
