What's New With Sharon?

My Farm
Canowindra Farms located in the beautiful highlands of Oro-Medonte was founded 10 years ago by Sharon. My choice of horses to breed has come from careful research & a very specific criteria of what that horse must possess. I wanted a horse that was dependable, smart, willing, gentle & had a smooth ride. He had to be hardy & versatile. Not an easy bill to fill, but time & my research led me to The Rocky Mountain & Kentucky Mountain Horses. They passed all the tests. I are very pleased & excited to offer these lovely beings to Canada.

The Rocky Mountain and Kentucky Mountain Horse learns quickly, is extremely gentle and seemingly prefers to be in the company of humans. Furthermore, the natural ambling gait that sets this breed apart gives an incredibly smooth ride with no bounce! This was an important factor for Sharon who has rheumatoid arthritis and for whom riding on any other breed can be extremely painful. Today Sharon enjoys riding regularly with no pain. The qualities of the Rocky Mountain and Kentucky Mountain Horse also make it an ideal horse for beginners to learn English or Western. The relaxed personality allows the rider to focus on riding (as opposed to just staying on!) and the smooth ride makes it easy to learn proper riding without fear. People who suffer from back problems can also benefit from the smooth, no bounce, ride. The breed is ideal for use in pleasure, trail, and show as well as endurance, reining and team penning.
1998 double registered (RM/KM) stallion V.B.F. Kawlidga is from Kentucky and has top bloodlines that run back to Old Tobe, the founding stallion of the breed. My stallion also has the personality that is the hallmark of the Rocky Mountain and Kentucky Mountain Horse. Unlike most stallions, he is easy to handle and calm enough to be ridden by a child.

Cowgirl Days
Rounding up calves for market, separating from mom's. Cows are sure smarter and faster. Followed by rounding up other groups and moving them to another field.
Sharon's horses were not "cow experienced" but never flinched and got right in there lovin' it. The whole experience was a blast and a huge step for Sharon's confidence in riding. Both horse and rider had great courage and fun. GOOD ON YA !
