September 12, '09--What Kim had to say about her horse Amelie (Amberlie's full sister!) after schooling cross country at Headwaters: "She was so amazing and really enjoyed the bigger fences. I am truly amazed by this horse and I don't think I've ridden one quite like her ever!!!!!!"
Oct. 8, '09--What Alexis had to say about her horse, Maragold (Amberlie's half sister): "I don't think I have ever ridden a horse that jumps whatever is in front of her with no hesitation. We even did fences that jumped into the woods (usually very scary because the change of light) and it didn't phase her. Every day I am more amazed by this mare and her AWESOME personality."
