I got my start in Walking Horses when I was boarding my Appy mare while I was living in Central Alberta with a Tennessee Walking Horse breeder in 1995.  I was so impressed with their quiet temperament and gentle way that I had to ride one.  Well that was all the hook I needed.  I had always wanted to raise horses, but none of the other breeds looked feasible.  Now I had found a breed that I just loved.  When my husband and I move back up to the family ranch it was with Top O'the Mornin' and her baby filly Glory.  The next year we purchased our stallion - Allen's Midnight Rascal.  We've built up our herd very carefully and slowly, most of the horses being born here, and myself doing all the training, right from imprinting at birth to riding.

Over the years I've taken many training courses, some on general training, and some specifically geared toward Walking Horses, educating myself on gaiting.  I now train all our horses using a combination of natural horsemanship styles that suit each horse's specific needs.  We've used our horses for a variety of purposes, mostly to move cattle and trail riding and as time permits, showing. It basically doesn't matter what you want to use your Walking horse for, a quiet, well mannered and trained horse can carry you to what ever is your pleasure in comfort and style.

My stallion, Rascal carries many of the old, great walking horses in his pedigree, thus fulfilling my aim of breeding naturally gaited walking horses.

Training is available to a limited number of horses, and my specialty is working
with the young ones: weanlings to 2 - 3 year old with advanced ground work.  I am no longer taking in three year olds for starting as my hip doesn't like getting off and on the youngsters, but I will continue to halter break, do round-penning and manner training on young horses.  I will also do gait training on started horses.

The Kerik's and The Joy of Money would like to offer congratulations to Nicole
Hirsekorn and her filly "BUSTIN OUT THE MONEY" for winning the
weanling filly class at the futurity in 2007. Way to go!
