Old Blue Hancock
"Steve-O"
Old Blue Hancock, a 2018 AQHA gelding bred by March Turicchi in Oklahoma and known around the barn as Steve-O, has certainly earned his nickname! Fondly named after MTV's "JackAss" star, this horse is full of athleticism, talent and movement that rivals even the fanciest warmbloods, and personality! Steve-O is a barn favorite and always keeps Laura on her toes!
​
Look for Steve-O heading down centerline at Training and First Level in 2024!
Elusive Class
"Ellie"
Ellie is a 2020 Thoroughbred mare Laura found at the Los Alamitos Racetrack and added to the barn as fun "project." Ellie is making it clear, however, with her work ethic, raw talent, and sparkling personality, that she very much wants to learn to be a dressage superstar! Laura is looking forward to seeing just how far this young mare will go - in 2024 and beyond!

Jill, Violet, and Shasta (And Oliver - forever in our hearts)
_edited.jpg)
Jill, her daughter Violet, and their amazing OTTB Shasta just recently became a team but you'd never know it - their bond is strong! Shasta has the biggest heart, is full of so much "try" and so much power! Don't tell this horse there's something he can't do! He has us all convinced there's nothing he isn't capable of. Talk about talent - Wow! Violet and Jill have are looking forward to continuing to develop their bond with this incredible guy and rocking down centerline in 2024!
