          This lovely mare is Red Bud's Last Lady, one of the last foals sired by Red Bud's Rascal. "Lilly" makes her home in  the country  of Belgium and is not for sale. Lilly is trained to pull a cart and is owned by Sandra van den Hof of  Pleasure Gaits.

     Above Left, Ostella Reese's Red Rose and her filly by Sonic Boom. Above Right is Rose's full sister, Ostella Della Rosebud   and  her  foal by Souvenir's Rascal.  These full sisters go back to the old bloodlines that  Jake Reese had in his broodherd.

  The Heritage Society congratulates Dena Plendl on her Futurity wins with NFF Wilson's Stardust Echo, upper left.       "Pete" won the Championship of the Two Year Old Futurity. The Heritage Walking Horses have what it takes to be sensible trail mounts as well as pleasure show horses! Bottom, Dena and NFF Wilson's Society King. King won the Reserve  Championship in the Yearling and Two Year Old Futurity, and the Championship Three Year Old Futurity title.  The photo below shows him in the Open Conformation Weanlings & Yearlings class at the Great Plains Extravaganza Show. King won first place in that class!!

  Upper Left photo shows Bob Long in the middle on the grey horse and Leon Oliver just to the right side of the photo,  getting   busy  on the trails!

   Upper Right photo is one Bob likes to call "Saying prayers before the ride". Bob is retired and had not been on a horse  in     years.  The Heritage Walking Horses are known for their gentle dispositions so even an old codger like Bob can get on down the trail!

Above Left, one of Sandra's new foals greets the dog. Above Right, Sandra van den Hof on board Boomtown's Lucky Strike.
