Dylan Prica

When Dylan fell in love with horses, her mom asked me to take Dylan under my wing and teach her all about horses. She didn't have to ask twice -- and Dylan became a steady worker and an almost constant companion. She doesn't even mind hauling hay and cleaning stalls!

Jenny Carlson

Undoubtably Willy's truest friend, Jenny has been in love with that half-ton of horseflesh for years... and continued to visit him often, even after getting her own horse.

Several months back, some other young friends of mine were excitedly telling me about the wonderful time they had at a Christian horse camp -- and how they had especially liked one of the instructors there: a gal by the name of -- you guessed it -- Jenny Carlson!

What goes around, comes around!

Corinne Travica

Corinne has a natural feel for a horse's motion and an "I Can Do This" attitude that overcomes the challanges of doing gymnastics on a moving horse.

Hanna Carlson

Following in the footsteps (hoofprints?) of her big sister, Jenny, Hanna learned to watch out when there's a cowboy with a rope around!

Stacy Hughes

 A close friend of Jenny Carlson, Stacy - along with some of her siblings - helped me work Willy and my little Quarter Horse filly, Fanny. Stacy has a no-nonsense attitude that helps keep things calm when the critters aren't.

Tracie Fogle

Allergies and a congenital heart condition couldn't stop Tracie from learning how to ride horses. As you think of it, I'm sure she'd appreciate your prayers that the Lord will continue to mend her little ol' blood-pumper.

Maureen Norberg

I just knew it was gonna happen! I was chatting with the gal next door, Maureen Norberg, when she asked why I had a picture of her best friend, Jenny Arezzo, on my web page and not her's! She said it with a smile and was real understanding about the problem I have in deciding which pictures to use and which not to. Anyhow, because Maureen's such a special gal here's a picture of the real "girl next door."

Vijini Ramachandram

Vijini Ramachandram (try sayin' that name three times fast!) is the undisputed long-distance winner among Willy's friends. Vijini hails from Malaysia and came here to study as an A.F.S. exchange student. This was the first time Vijini had been near a real live horse - and she did real well.
