is a new straight Egyptian
Arabian breeding company
started by Trisha this
year. Look for more
information as it develops.

Although
new to the Arabian world, Trisha is quickly moving up the ranks.
She and the farm’s stallion WH BODACIOUS have won ribbons
at “A” circuit
shows in Western Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure, Dressage and Show
Hack...all within his first two years of training. Under her guidance,
Bodacious was named Reserve High Point Purebred Horse in the
Open
Division for the Central Piedmont Arabian Horse Association for
2002. He was also the 2003 Egyptian Event Reserve Champion
in Western Pleasure and the 2003 CPAHA Reserve Sport Horse Stallion.
Trisha also races and trains the farm’s Minstril son, Desert

Pleasure,
and consistently scores in the middle to high 60’s in dressage

performance is her first love, Trisha is beginning to make
a name for herself in halter as well. WHITEHAVEN’s
yearling colt WH MARENGO placed 3rd in his very first halter
class with
Trisha on the lead, and he is undefeated in Sport Horse In Hand
competition. Trisha has an excellent reputation coaching riders
and teaching lessons to equestrians of all levels of expertise,
and in many different disciplines such as Western Pleasure, Hunter
Equitation, Endurance, Halter, Jumping, and Dressage. Our
clients, borders and students enjoy great success in the show
ring, and have wonderful relationships with their horses under
her tutelage.
