A quick shine before Hannah enters the show ring |
|
Buddy began his horsey career at the ripe old age of 5. His love
of horses and their individual personalities has been a guiding light through his experiences. He bred, trained and
campaigned Arabian horses.
Buddy not only has history with horses. He has experience dealing with dairy cattle,
pigs, goats, chickens, sheep, peacocks, geese, rabbits, dogs, cats, llamas and alpaca. Whew... did we leave
out anything with 4 legs?
After 20 plus years of a successful business career, he chose to leave behind the hectic
life of big business for the slower more relaxing pace of the farm.
A father of 2 successfully raised, adopted sons, he earned his parenting skills. And has always been "Papa
'B''' for the little ones at the farm.
As the Owner of TLC Stables, Buddy has created a quiet haven
for his boarders to come and enjoy thier horse friends - and a nurturing environment for the young and beginning rider.
