Whispa Show name: Shout!
15.2hh Bay Quarter Horse / Arabian cross
A severely abused and neglected stallion before he came to Golden Gate Park
Stables, I started training Whispa not only for riding but in his ground manners as
well. In 1999 I purchased Whispa as an unruly but talented dressage prospect and
he is the first horse I have ever owned. Since the time that I bought Whispa, he has
not only become trusting and confident, but is a phenomenal dressage horse as well.

About our Horses
| Spitfire Bay 2006 Lipizzan / Arabian / Quarter horse / Trakehner cross After finding out the disappointing news of Fancy's physical limitations, I bred Fancy to a Lipizzan Stallion named Siglavy XI-6 (Jozsef)in the summer of 2005. May 11, 2006, Fancy delivered this very beautiful and elegant baby to us. Unlike the other babies at the farm where she was born, Spitfire was a fearless, independent baby and had to be halter trained when she was a mere three days old to keep her by her mother's side. Spitfire has been a complete joy, as well as a challenge, to train and has been an invaluable learning experience for my students and me. |
Fancy Registered name: Fancy Dancer
15.2hh Liver Chestnut Arabian / Quarter Horse / Trakehner cross
Fancy was a wedding present for Rick and I from one of Rick's sisters. I picked up
the mare when she was 4 1/2 years old and after extensive training and retraining,
she is now a wonderful steady and calm mare who thrives on attention. Due to an
injury to Fancy's left hock before I received her, Fancy will not stay sound if she is
worked up to the level of her natural abilities. Therefore, Fancy is used only for
lower level dressage, low jumps and easy trail rides. She has also been started in
harness, as pulling a cart instead of being ridden will be much easier on her joints.
An interesting note, I discovered that Fancy and Lodi both trace back to Three Bars
and are distant cousins.

| Lodi Registered name: Triple Imperial (Show name: Blazing Sin) 15.1hh Liver Chestnut Quarter Horse Lodi was given to me when he developed a nasty biting habit that his previous owner could not handle. After a lengthy session with an Equine Dentist and some consistent work in hand, Lodi is now a happy, relaxed (if still mischievous) horse. While originally being sold as a strictly western hose, Jennifer, Lodi's previous leassor, and I, discovered that he not only has a talent for jumping but enjoys it immensely. Unfortunately time and age have been catching up with Lodi and he is no longer jumping. During the summer of 2009, Lodi was having some trouble staying sound with the light work he was performing so he was retired out to pasture. He is on five acres with three other horses and of course is the boss. He is now completely sound and if he weren't so happy living a life a leisure, I would bring him back and put him back into light work. |
Newest to the Sinasohn Training herd is Pete, an 11 year old Thoroughbred gelding.
Pete, registered name, PoorPoor Pitafulme, is the great grandson of Secretariat.
Unfortunately, Pete was living up to his name when I rescued him. He was so
emaciated, he lost muscle mass in his heart and had a grade 3/5 heart murmur, he
also has an old bow to his suspensory ligament, and a new bow to his deep digital
flexor tendon. But wait there's more! Pete has two broken molars on the left side of
his mouth. When I told my husband all of Pete's problems, he asked me, "Why do
you want this horse?" I replied, "Because I can fix him!" And I did. With the help of
a wonderful volunteer, Pete's tendons healed, his heart murmur disappeared and he's
a wonderful fat weight. Despite having the rare fit of temper, Pete is generally very
kind and willing to please.

| Magic was purchased by one of my students and has become a wonderful lesson horse. We are not sure of his previous training but he is happy at shows, fluid in dressage and enthusiastic over jumps. |
