Secret has the personality of an old friend.  She is fun and light hearted.  She loves a crowd and adjusts to new situations with grace and ease.  She has a natural born curiosity and LOVES attention.   Her dam is a fine bay mare with impeccable breeding.  Her sire has some great old bloodlines.  She looks a lot like him.  She is sorrel with a flaxen mane and tail and has a light sprinkle of roan beginning 
to show throughout her coat. 

 As you can see in her papers below, she is exceptionally bred.  Her conformation is excellent.  She is five gaited and can trot as well as pace.

Secret will probably mature at around 14.1 or 14.2H.  I am 5'4" and she is the perfect height for me.  Even though she isn't a tall filly, she is STOCKY and strong.  She is the bravest of them all.  She is always the first to come when I call them in for supper.  She will go into training the spring of 2002 and be my trail buddy for the next 30 years or so.  :-)

Secret has completed 30 days of training (as of the end of July, 02) with Dallas Schmidt of Cooperstown, ND. His specialty lies in the area's of Reining/Cutting QH's. He is a natural horsemanship trainer with a sound reputation of good, honest horsemanship.
Secret is now my trail buddy. We haven't hit the trail yet as we are working on getting to know and understand each other's language. She is only three and we aren't in a hurry. Secret turns out to have a WONDERFUL, inherited running walk. Dallas says, "When she hits that running walk, she is smooooth as glass." "She didn't refuse anything asked of her."
BAREFOOT, no special anything of any kind. Just good old fashioned genetics. Walking Horses that don't require any "special" training, trainer or riding skill level to gait beautifully, smoothly and correctly. Now this, is what I am talking about! :-)
