In 2006, I
started to size down my herd of miniature horses for
semi retirement. My program is working nicely and my
numbers are down and so are my foals.
2008 has brought some very difficult news to me and my family. In January 2008, my 39 years old son had a routine appendectomy and a week later we were told that the pathology report showed that there was a cancerous tumor in the appendix. This is extremely rare (around 500 to 600 cases a year) and now in mid 2010, after three major surgeries, 9 weeks of radiation and 30 sessions of chemotherapy, Brian is still struggling with the cancer monster. I have traveled with my son to Cleveland Clinic, MD Anderson Cancer Clinic in Houston for surgeries and radiation and locally for every one of the 30 chemo sessions (three days per session) and will continue to do so. As you can tell, my horse program has been placed on a back burner for now.

My dedicated farm manager, Becky Green, keeps the
farm running but I need to continue to simplify
things and will keep reducing my herd to be free to
travel with my son where ever and when ever he needs
to go to fight his battle. Reducing my herd is
very difficult for me to do because I have worked
hard for approximately 29 years accumulating and
breeding horses to produce show quality halter and
driving horses. I fully intend to continue my
program but on a much, much smaller scale.
Since
I won't breed many mares at this time, I made a very
difficult decision. "Attitude" has been such a
great producing stallion for us and he was being
wasted at my farm, so my sister and I sold
"Attitude" to a wonderful couple in Australia. He
will leave my farm mid-August, 2010 and he will not
be coming back to the U.S. I will be selling many
of my broodmares bred to "Attitude" for 2011 foals
and most of his remaining sons and daughters. I
have priced the sale horses at lower prices than I
have in the past to reflect the slow economy and the
great need to reduce my numbers. I offer
interest-free terms for one year to qualified buyers
on horses owned by Westwind Farms.
