Hi Mary Ellen, Hope everyone is well and looking forward to Christmas. Thought i would give you an up date on Malie.. Well, what can i say, she is a dream come true. Anyone would think she had been with us for years, she so settled in. The blacksmith came out to check her shoes, he just put a nail in one of her front shoes, she stood still and never bothered. We took her to a show last Sunday, she travelled very well in our lorry. She enjoyed herself there as she had lots of people come and look at her. We then dressed in our saddlesuit and English tack to do the ridden class. Unfortunately i'd forgotten to take my hard hat as well as my Homburg hat. So for insurance reasons i wasn't allowed to ride in the ring. But i had a little ride before anyone else came in. WOW we got the walk, it was great. First time i had ridden her, as the weather here has been to wet. I've attached a photo of us, hope you like it? You can use the photo for your website if you wish. I would like to Thank you and David for a marvelous job of training her. Thank you so very much. Regards Lynne.
 
Merry Christmas and Happy new year
Walkers West was pleased to host a visit from Jergen and Susan Nielsen of Denmark. The 15 hour plane trip to DFW from Denmark resulted in the purchase of three beautiful Tennessee Walking Horses, namely, Smokin Colt 45, Bubbling Spirit and Razz’s Butterscotch. Smokin Colt 45 by Packing Heat, is a uniquely colored yearling stallion that will eventually become a breeding stallion. The two mares will be pregnant when they make their long journey in about 30 to 60 days. Tennessee Walking Horses are growing in popularity in Denmark – at this time there is a total of 9 in the country and soon there will 12.

DELIGHT FILLY OURS, a recently imported Tennessee Walking Horse to the UK, has arrived safe in foal in Wales. Her new owners who are also long riders, Jenni and David Miller are 'delighted'!    In addition to producing top quality foals for the British market, the Millers plan to promote the breed by using Delight Filly Ours on cross country long rides.


Straight off the van at the end of her long journey, Didi immediately struck a perfect park and totally charmed her new countrymen.

Safe in foal to The Gold Rush Is On, Lacey's Star Shaker leaves Walkers West to go to her new home at Bridestone Walkers in Scotland, where she will become the foundation mare for the very first herd of Tennessee Walking Horses in the United Kingdom. She is a granddaughter of Merry Nightcap, so both she and her foal will be carrying the golden genes of both Midnight Sun and Merry Go Boy to a new frontier in the Walking Horse industry.

One of our customers, Ola and Randall Fojtasek, generously donated a Tennessee Walking Horse yearling stud colt to the Cattle Barron's Ball to be auctioned off to benefit Cancer Research. This is a very popular fund-raiser with similar fund raisers around the U.S. Everyone dresses in their best Western duds and western songwriter and singer, Willie Nelson, was the entertainment.
My trainer, Moe Lawell, and friend, Glenda Robinson, presented the colt for the auction at the Ball last night. The package of the colt and the Western Saddle and western apparel, donated by M.L. Leddy Bros. of Fort Worth, sold for a total of $10,000.  Great fun!!!
