SCSPHC's Founder, Kerry.

From what I've been told I was 'born' on the back of a horse, however I started my riding career at a small riding school in England at the age of 5 riding obnoxious stubborn ponies. As I progressed through the years I started showing in Dressage, Show-Jumping and Cross-Country. By the age of 10 I was competent riding an assortment of horses from hunter type to warmbloods and ponies; and was competing successfully at local shows on my own pony. In 2001 we moved to Colorado, U.S.A, a big change in the horse world. Since then I've added Western riding to my skills having trained and competed successfully in Western Pleasure, Showmanship, Halter, Ranch Riding, Trail & competitive Trail and Barrel Racing. I've also tried my hand at Reining, Roping and Speed Events and hope to keep expanding my training in them through the years. I also continued my passion with english and have trained and competed succesfully in Dressage through second level, Jumpers through 3'6, and Hunter/Jumper through 3'0. I am currently showing my own horses in Hunter/Jumper 3'0, Dressage through second level, Low Jumpers, Halter and Showmanship. 

I have over the years shown other peoples horses from Arabians in Dressage and Jumping to Paints in Western Pleasure and Halter. I hope to continue learning new techniques over the years and use my experience to further my career in showing and training with both my own and clients horses

For those who think I am picking on the Paint breed, this is not the case. I've owned regular registry Paints, and currently show a regular registry Paint. They are all great horses and I am not discriminating against the regular Paints.

I am just trying to get the point across that regular and solid bred should not be so different. They are both the 'Paint' breed, with or without color factor, they carry the same bloodlines and the same conformation requirements. SolidBred Paints should be treated fairly and equal to their colored brothers and sisters. There are many Paints out there who only carry the 2-inch white spot that qualify's them for 'regular registry', yet most of the time it is in a hidden place under the saddle or under their belly. So when they are showing, they look no different to a Solid Bred Paint, so what is the difference?
