This page is to keep an update as to what we are currently doing in the barn. We have two new horse owners in the barn this month. The Combellick Family of Carmel, In are Ima Paradise's (Lilly) new family. Morgan Rees is the new owner of Dead Awesome! Watch for them at shows next year. The best news yet is that Audra is back home and is now training from IB once again.
This is the new stallion at IB; A Lad N Magic. "Gunny" is a 2008 stud colt sired by Lad's Strawman. Gunny was the 2009 National Champion Weanling Stud colt. He was Reserve National Champion Hunter In Hand Yearling Stallion in 2010. He has been a winner in Florida, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinios and Mississsippi last year. He was high Point Hunter In Hand Stallion for 2010. Rose and I are working him under saddle for next show season. He will be standing to outside mares in 2012. |

We have a few roping steers to practice on with more to come.
Our indoor arena is big enough to rope in all winter which we plan to do, but we also have plans to build a large outdoor roping pen late this summer or early fall. |
