He has great cattle sense and is very alert with everything around him. Even with his old age he is very forward and loves to please.
Caution Around: Spurs, His Mouth

The History
Basic History: Rebel has an short abusive past. He was abused up until the four, which some say wasn’t incredibly long to be abused, but any time being spent being abused is too long. Anyways back to the history, Rebel came to Andrew and his father when he was about five with another gelding from the same barn, of course there were other horses but Rebel and the other gelding clicked with Andrew right away. Drew trained him to be a cattle working horse which he excelled at. Drew then took on the task of training him for other western events and to be as good as any beginner horse, but a little more advanced.

LIFE ON THE RUN

The Basics
Show Name: Life on the Run
Barn Name: Outlaw
Age: Eleven Years
Gender: Mare
Breed: Appaloosa
Breed Registry: ApHA

The Appearance
Coat Color: Black Leopard
Stable Color: Dark Violet
Height: 15.2 HH

The Personality
Personality: Outlaw is a great mare; her name doesn't do her justice. Her ground manners are extremely pleasant and she knows most commands. She enjoys being ridden and will do so under English or Western saddle. Never in the time that she has been broke has she bucked off a rider or reared, she is next to bomb proof. She is a great horse to learn on as she takes her rider under her wing pretty much, she is very patient, if her rider is off balance she stops and that is helpful if the unbalance results in a fall. Outlaw is a lovely horse and has a great attitude towards everything.
Caution Around: Nothing Really

The History
Basic History: Outlaw wasn't born at Drew's family ranch and explains why she is trained in both English and Western riding. At the age of four she came to the Rhodes's ranch as she wasn't going to be used for much other than a beginner horse and when that beginner rider passed Outlaw's level of riding and was sold to the ranch. Drew worked with her to further her training under the western saddle as she was used a beginner English horse. Drew's mother occasionally rode her as she used to ride in the English saddle back when she was in her twentys to thirtys. She stuck with Drew and after he got settled in the man's father drove the mare to the academy.

KENTUCKY RAIN

one | two | three | four | five

The Basics
Show Name: Kentucky Rain
Barn Name: Tucker
Age: Fourteen Years
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Paint Horse
Breed Registry: APHA

The Appearance
Coat Color: Chestnut Overo
Stable Color: Steel Blue
Height: 15.1 HH

The Personality
Personality: Tucker is a smart little horse. He is known for getting out of his stall or pastures. He is great under saddle, which allowed him to be a barrel racer and reiner, as well as a western pleasure horse. He loves to go, go but he knows how to tone it back and can be controlled with a loose rein. He is a compatible with mares and other geldings. He is a good horse all around and has no problem carrying a beginner or advanced rider around on his back.
Caution Around: Simple Lock/Latches

The History
Basic History: Tucker was recently a competition horse in a rodeo circuit. He was a great reiner and barrel racer. His past owner, only in the last year, started entering him in western pleasure shows. He actually wasn’t bred in Kentucky, but in Texas. With him being an “older” horse and his past owner wanting the young ready to go horses, Tucker was put up for sale and snatched up by Andrew. The gelding was shipped to Kentucky for the summer.
