Thanks for the baby photos of Freedom! ... I definitely think she is a prime example of the ugly duckling turned swan. She truly resembles her sire a great deal. I am obviously still thrilled with her! We plan on continuing her education this year. My younger daughter, Missy, will be using Freedom as her Pony Club mount at the D3/C1 level. Freedom proved herself as a Pony Club mount last summer at our week long Pony Club camp when she had to be ridden by Heather, after her horse went lame. Although obviously green, Freedom had lots of jump and impressed everyone with her athletic ability and willingness. We plan on riding her for several years before considering her as a brood mare. Maybe when Missy heads off to college. Thanks again for the baby pictures! Please send my best to Charlie. Pat (11/03)

Foothill's Freedom is out for additional training and will be showing the local hunter circuit and participating in some Pony Club events this year. She's a pleasure to work with and has a cute spunky personality. Pat (7/03)

Hi Vanessa, Freedom came home on Friday after being away for training for two months. Tristin Moses, who is a 21 year old Pony Club H-A graduate trained her. We now have a riding pony! Freedom now has walk/trot/canter in place. She's been trail ridden and jumped. She's very willing and loves to GO! I've attached a photo of my daughter, Heather, riding her in a lesson. I love the way her mane is blowing in the photo - it seems to represent her spunky personality! We're planning on using Freedom as a riding pony for several years and then, hopefully, she can make some babies for us :-) Pat (7/02)

Freedom is doing very well. She has been out for training for about two months now. I have a 21 year old, graduate H-A Pony Clubber training her. She is going nicely under saddle, on trail and in the ring, she's jumped some small jumps and LOVES to canter. She's fondly being called "the carousel pony" by the young lady who is riding her. We'll be bringing her home soon and my daughter will continue riding her. (7/02)

Foothills Freedom had a banner day yesterday! She came in first in 3 halter classes and second in two others! The judge, who is an eventer and professor in an equine prgram at a nearby college, loved her. More importantly to us, she loaded and unloaded without a problem, stood tied to the trailer all day, and behaved like a gem all day. To say we were pleased with her would be the understatement of the year! Owner, Pat N-W (6/19/00)

Freedom is doing great! I truly LOVE her. She is just so sweet and willing.
We've had a bridle on her once and again it was a non-event. She just
chomped for a few minutes. She really has been a dream to work with so far. (5/6/00)

I thought I'd update you on Freedom. She's adjusting great! She seems to be feeling more comfortable with us and getting used to our routine, although she is still very sleepy looking when I do morning chores at 5:30 or so! We had an exceptional day with her today! (4/2/00)

Heather (my daughter) measured her head and mouth with a piece of bailing twine to measure her for a bridle and bit. She decided to try a few more things when Freedom cooperated so willingly. She slowly put a pad and saddle on her back and Freedom just stood there completely unphased. After taking off the pad and saddle Heather placed a girth over Freedom's back and jingled the buckles. Again, she stood quietly. Heather brought me over a short time later and repeated everything, so I could see, and again she was completely accepting. To say we are pleased with her would be the understatement of the year!

3/24/00 "Hi Vanessa and Charlie, Freedom arrived today at 4:30! I am absolutely delighted with her - she's beautiful and sweet! I was very impressed with how well she unloaded and settled in. The driver of the truck thought she was super too - he couldn't say enough about her willingness. She settled in very quickly. She and our 20 yr. old Appendix mare are both in the barn munching away. As you know, I was nervous about buying anything over the internet, but your professionalism truly made this a wonderful experience. Thank you so much. I'll be sure to keep you updated on her progress and I'd like to hear how your year goes riding Bubba. Have fun and keep in touch." Owner, Ms. Norton-White

Congratulations to Pat Norton-White on her purchase of Foothills Freedom!!
