• My first horse was a champagne, and I've wanted to ride another for years since losing him. But, so few are broke to ride, and I've not had time to finish one for myself. I'm so tickled to have found Twister, who is broke to ride and gentle! Look for trail riding pictures to come as we enjoy riding with her.

• From her former owner in September of 2008:  "TWISTER is a real laid back quiet mare that has been mostly been trail ridden on and just recently started on cattle. Twister has been used as a turn back horse and also done a little bit of team penning. She has the natural ability to excel at what ever your pleasure is. Twister will get right up on a cow and watch it and push one with her chest. Follows great and will watch what way a cow moves. Twister will cross rivers, plastic tarps, bridges. Easy to wash, Clips with no twitch, Easy to catch...first to the gate. Trailers great...ties to anything. Will make a great all around family horse for kids to adults. Has the personality and the will to please. Very easy to get along with. Not hot or hyper...light in the mouth and knows leg pressure. Up to date and has full medical records and farrier. Will guarantee 100% sound in every way.
  Easy to catch, easy keeper, no bad vices or habits.. has not offered to kick, rear, bite, buck." She also said that one person can clip Twister's ears, bridle path, etc. The only problem there is that she relaxes so much that her head sometimes drops clear down, and you have to remind her to keep her head up! :-)

• September 21, 2008 update at our home:  I rode Twister for the first time today, and she is awfully sweet. We rode about 5 miles on trails in SW Iowa. She walks out at a good clip, and the only time she scooted was when the horse with me tripped over a LONG tree branch on the ground, which made it rustle behind her off the side of the trail. This mare can spin on a dime! But, she didn't take off...just spun to see what happened and stopped when I asked...and we continued on without further event. She willingly crossed two bridges along the way, too.

From the 2015 filly's owner:
I HAD to send you a quick note.... Dun Drinkin Champagne aka Hazel is at a cutting/reigning trainer for the last 30 days. 1 week under saddle. She's amazed at her natural ability. So soft/responsive. Already has a good roll back and really digging in that hind end. She's ahead of the others by well over a month with only 1 week of riding. So much natural ability. I knew Hazel was athletic, but so nice to hear the professional say the same. I guess I'll have to see how far she can go now lol. I planned to just play with cows and some sorting/team own on her, but that'd be a waste!
