Mingo Stables

     I didn't start riding when I was little like a lot of people, but I've always been around horses in one way or another.  My two older cousins used to have horses and one still goes to Three-Day Eventing with her horses.  I started riding at Pleasant Valley when I was 12 but when I was 14 I stopped riding for two years. I soon found Sebastian Riding Associates and have been there since 2004.  SRA is a very special place for me because I can not only ride different horses, it also gives me the chance to do cart driving.  SRA was where I met Dawn Allen and she brought me to Mingo Stables where I also lease Cinders.

     I mostly just do ring work and trail ride with Cinders but we do the occasional show, too.  I've always been pleased with how calm he is in the ring at shows.  I've always had a love for horses and also cats, but it was being around my cousin's horses that made me want to start riding and I'm very glad I did.
