Doodle is the perfect horse at the wrong time. He really needed someone who had the time and the ability to get “out there and ride” and I’m just not there. I sure loved being a part of him coming in to the world.

For now he is loved by Reuben, who said ‘Doodle’ is a baby name, and he’s now Dude. So be it, and it is right, and earned. The two of them are doing amazing things. I will add more to this page, honoring the wonderful pair. These pictures were taken Labor Day Weekend, 2022 where they came in 2nd at NATRC.
