ABOUT US

Kelly and Kaliedoscope (Bar J Zandas Beauty) doing the hunters (Left Picture) and Ron with Winddancers Cimaron loves to do the jumpers .

 

Ron and Kelly both show and compete in the jumper rings. Kelly also shows in the hunter rings. Breeders of quality paint horses for the hunter jumper rings.

Kelly's first pony was a palomino tobiano pinto "Tamisha's Gold Spot".Starting in the show ring on the North Shore competing in both English and Western. Kelly also showed at the Pinto Shows in Cloverdale and at the PNE in 1974. In the early 80's well working full time at Safeway and also an upcoming Southwestern Watercolour Artist Kelly found the time and money to move into the Hunter Jumper ring. In the mid 80's moved her horse and started training at Thunderbird Training Centre in Langley BC a hunter barn . Buying and selling a few nice hunter prospects. Then in 1990 Kelly took time off to have her son Skylar. Kelly could not stay away long. In the late 90's Kelly started one of the first internet sites for selling and marketing horses on the World Wide Web. Over the next 8 years Kelly helped sell hundreds of top quality Hunter Jumpers South of the boarder as far away as South American. In the year 2000 she found her dream horse a 18 year old Holstein stallion Coeur de Lion a son of Cor de la Bryere. No longer a marketing agent for horse sales as Kelly is concentrating on promoting her stallions , her Art work and her web design. In the year 2003 after being divorced for over 12 years Kelly met Ron. Ron had the same passion for horses as Kelly. It was a match made in heaven. Ron a Vancouver Firefighter for 20 years. Ron's love for horses started about 9 years before meeting Kelly. He had been a guest many times at Sundance Ranch in Ashcroft. He started renting horses at 204 stables in Langley BC before buying his first horse an Appy gelding. Since buying his first horse and starting his second horse has found out he is a nature with young horses. Starting many young horses since. Ron has a naturally calming nature with young horses that makes them trust him. As well as starting young horses Ron also builds top quality western saddles, . Kelly and Ron now have a interested in all disciplines. Western, English, the Hunter ring, the jumper ring, driving and just good trail riding...

Ron recently got interested in Cowboy Mounted Shooting. One of the largest growing equestrain sport in North America today. Ron is going though the hoops of trying to get this sport here in BC. It hasn't been easy as our gun laws are very strict.

Kelly and Ron love to get out on the trail .Both love to just get away to new overnight destinations where you can camp with your horses and just ride. They ride just for the fun of it....Something some of us have forgotten to do. Both now members of the Back Country Horsemen of BC.
