Winter News from Meadow Wood Stables



Even with no horse shows, fall and winter seems to be a busy time for Danny and Nancy Troutman of Meadow Wood Stables and this year has been no exception, but that’s a good thing!

Frankie Sue Snider will be debuting in Equitation this year on her handsome new horse, Man of Hour Dreams.  He has been a champion Country Pleasure horse and Frank Sue is working hard to perfect equitation pattern work and rail work for this spring. They are a very striking pair!

Joann Bedsaul selected the cocky five gaited horse, I’m Romeo, as her next five-gaited pleasure mount. By Callaway’s Northern Kiss, he was raised and began his training with former owner Burt Honaker and he displays a lot of promise and style.  We will look forward to seeing the two of them showing in the future.

Caroline Stephenson is the proud new owner of the three-gaited park mare, Irene York.  Caroline and Irene are a very cute, competitive combination and are looking forward to showing in Juvenile 3-gaited park in 2012.

Beth Vierling is the new owner of academy horse Admiral’s Courageous Decision.  Beth started riding at Meadow Wood about 18 months ago and is having a wonderful time with the lessons and tournaments. 

Frankie Sue, Caroline and Beth are all first time Saddlebred owners and began riding in lessons at Meadow Wood.
