| Who's Doing What |
Oh where should I start, there are so many things to
say about our horses in the pictures! I’ll start with
Cherokee Princess.
We bought Cherokee Princess as an un-handled 2
year old from the Blazing Saddles Ranch. Mustang
Mac (Mac McSwain), taught our 11 year old
daughter, Kelly, how to start her. We do a lot of
trail riding and had our horses along the Brazos
River for a long time before we bought our own
heavily wooded and unproved acreage, which we
named Mustang Meadows. My husband, Greg, is
very visionary, and turned the raw land into a
beautiful place for our horses.
Kelly competed for several years on Cherokee
Princess in NATRC long distance riding competition,
first in Novice Junior, then Open Junior, then Open
Lightweight. She is a two time National Champion
and was third in the nation her last full year of
competition. Kelly went to college and rode her off
and on in competitions for the next few years while
in school, and always placed high and gave the
regulars fits! I have been riding her this season as
a safety rider horse in NATRC CTR’s. She is a joy
to ride. We have one coming 4 year old colt from
her. He is making a really nice riding horse too.
Cherokee’s sire is Choctaw Traveler and her dam is
Cache Creek Princess.
Rambler, a palomino (technically a gold
champagne) , belongs to our daughter, Jenna
Galliher. Rambler was the Region 4 NATRC
Grand Champion Open horse, a National
Champion, and he finished 3rd in the nation
NATRC Open competition.
We bought him as an 8 year old from the
Cherokee Trails Ranch, and originally from the
Blazing Saddles Ranch. He had been started
but was still pretty green and spooky. When
Jenna took him over when she was 10, she
started riding him exclusively and turned him
into a true partner. They hit the NATRC trail
together, first in Novice Jr., then Open Junior,
then Open Lightweight. Rambler was the
grand Champion in our Region finished 3rd
overall in the Nation in Open.
Rambler's sire is Tambourine Man and his dam
is Ribble.
