I am a hunter jumper trainer that found Peruvians in 2002. I shared my passion with the parents of my students and that resulted in many folks purchasing horses. I would say that now 50% of my business is Peruvian related, training, lessons, and sales. I have also ventured into the show ring where I humbly and completely understand the statement a wise person made about Peruvians.........one of the easiest horses to ride, one of the most difficult to master. My biggest show accomplishment was winning the Versatility Award at the 2008 Gold Rush Classic with a gelding I purchased as a yearling and trained myself. My dear friend Kim Stone also rode him, in the Novice classes, and I trained her as well! Winning the prize (a custom made trail saddle with my initials) had to be the most exciting moment in my life.
Last year I purchased a stallion and have started a breeding program. My stallion RRI General Del Dios is a full brother to the sire of National Champion RCH Ventarrones and at age 12, has no soundness issues, not even a windpuff! He is also incredibly calm and spook free. My dear mare "Estrella" is adored by many of her student riders, including one gal late in her 70's and she produced a fantastic colt this year by General. I also had a filly from a leased mare. Both are superior to their sire and dam.
I still have much to learn about this breed and I am very grateful to all the people who have helped me thus far.
Peruvians will be featured on the show Equestrian Nation this week. I have been told that myself and my horses will be in it. It airs on RFD-TV. The Equestrian Nation website lists the show times.

hi there,
i will keep you updated if you like
if i dont get the horse first
:D lol
i am working my way to get my own personal Mare right now
&
lovely horses you have
I'm not surprised to hear that Vista has really grown up a lot. At least you still have the views. So do you get to get out and trail ride any? That is my favorite thing to do. In a week and a half, I will be headed down to Big Bend for a trail ride. I have never been down there, so this is going to be a really big treat for me. I will try to post some pictures when I get back. You have a wonderful day.
I noticed that you live in Vista California. I lived there for a short period of time about 29 years ago. Oh my how time has flown. We used to be able to look at Big Bear from our kitchen window. I bet things have really changed since then.
Hi Jody,
I wanted to thank you for stopping by my site, and your kind words. I love your pictures!!!! I am happy that you are having an oppertunity to introduce others to this wonderful breed.
Have a wonderful week.

Hi Jody,
Thanks for the Welcome! I am sure we have probably run into each other in the barn aisles. I will likely be at the Garayar barn this summer grooming a few horse and maybe...just maybe getting in the show ring! I think I am finally starting to get the hang of riding these beautiful horses, but I have a looonnng way to go. I think changing breeds has really helped challenge and improve my horsmanship. I hope to be able to buy a show propsect as soon as I can pull the resources together. Let me know the next So Cal show you'll be at, I would love to stop by and say hello. - Denise
Hi,
Yes Malinche has lost a lot of weight since I got her in the new place, but her peruvian saddle is made for a small horse and rider so that should be alright I think but I will ask the breeder about her mouth is she knows anything. I will also ask her to come down from her mountain and if she can see what I'm doing wrong. I just hope that she and I soon can get back to the way we where when she still stood at the breeders place.
Kind regards,
amber
Hey Jody! Great to hear from you! Hope all is well with you. We have had a horrific winter so far.. we had 3' of snow for 3 weeks, (actually STILL have piles around) then it warmed up, started melting, then RAINED forever... and we had FLOODING! Our access to town was cut off, but we are up high on a hill, so did not personally have flooding. I lost a shelter in the snow though, and sadly, a horse... Storm's momma. She took a freak fall and had a bad break on her hip (came through the skin) so we had to put her down. :-( It's funny how things work out though... because I'm SO glad we still have Storm. I'll never sell her now... I gave her to my son as a replacement (Indy was his horse). She's HUGE... I'll have to send you new pics. Email me, would love to hear from you.
