I loved reading “your story”. It really touched me. A true horsewoman’s love story. Very nice. We live in Aubrey and breed a little. I have been out here for 5 years boarding horses on our property. Lots of work in the Texas heat.
Sincerely, Lesly Spencer

I am writing to tell you how bitter sweet your introduction to your site was for me. I have 3 wonderful horses...Adam, a TB...Dance, a QH, and Aries, a TB x QH. I love them all dearly but I too, had a Top Gun. I began reading your introduction and my heart began beating so hard, I had to get up and go play with my dogs for a while!
I bought 'The Dude' from a horse trader who tried to tell me he was an Arabian cross. He was bone thin and dirty but there was just something about him. I will make this very short...he turned out to be my boyfriend! This was a true gentleman of a horse and my first experience with the Walkers. I never had a moment with him that I was not in heaven! Dude was an amazing horse and one you wanted to bury your nose in his neck and just hang there. Only wings could have made him more.
I lost Dude this past Christmas Eve to a very strange colic. I had had him for 5 years. It was very fast and confusing and I am still hurting so very much. It is difficult for me to even write this to you but, sometimes...you just want to share, and though you do not know me and, I do not know you...when I read your story, I wanted to share mine with you.
We are looking for our own place in the country, now that my kids are all grown, and when we get that, you can bet I will be looking for another Walker to call my own! Surly god doesn't mean that we taste that "sweet" only once. I know there is another out there for me.
I have enclosed a few pictures of my Dude. I found Top Gun so very handsome and though they are so different in color, the way your guy held his head...I saw The Dude.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story. For a moment, Dude was here again...my heart was racing again and, I thank you for that.
Sincerely,
Jamie Hofstetter |

Hello,
I loved
your web
site!
I
have
been
looking
at it
all
night
long
while I
was at
work.
I
am going
to add
it to my
favorites
at home.
Top Gun
was a
beautiful
horse,
and I
understand
your
falling
in love
with
him.
Three
years
ago, my
neighbor
had a
baby
colt
born,
and I
knew I
had to
have
him.
It has
been
wonderful
ever
since.
I
have
been
told we
have a
true
connection,
and that
he loves
to make
me laugh
- all of
it very
true.
I
found
your web
site
because
I was
looking
for any
other
horses
like my
Dito.
Dito is
a
Tennessee
Walking
horse,
and his
head is
all
black,
except a
star and
a snip,
and he
has two
ice blue
eyes.
I am
head
over
heals in
love
with
him!
I
applaud
your
dedication
to the
breed,
and your
quality
breeding.
You have
some
really
fine
animals,
and
Dillon
is
exceptional!
I
just had
to tell
you
that.
I
wish all
the luck
in the
future.
Thank
you, and
God
bless.

Hi Mary,
My name is Patti
Oestreich
Oberdick. I live
w/my family, my
gifts from God,
in Moore, Tx.
This morning, I
was searching
the web and was
led to you...
your farm...
your
story. Michael,
my husband, and
I also have a
small breeding
farm/ranch of
primarily TWH.
Your story/Top
Gun's story
touched me so
very much.
Living in the
middle of QH
country, its
difficult to
find those who
appreciate and
cherish the
blessings of
this exceptional
breed. They
fill my heart
and soul. Only
those, who share
the feelings
would we
consider as a
new forever
home. Thank you
for sharing your
story.
Warmly and with
prayer,
Patti Oestreich
Oberdick

I just want to share with you what a blessing your website has been to me tonight!! It's 11:01 p.m. and at 7:15, I announced to my husband that I must go to bed because of being so "tired". Then, I located you and your wonderful story and the beautiful horses you own or have owned. I have to tell you that I am so sorry about Top Gun. He was absolutely exquisite!!! And, I can't even imagine how you felt about losing him, but I'm in agreement with you, God did put another in your life, not to replace, but to allow your heart to heal. Dillon is marvelous and I'd love to get to meet him.
Let me tell you about me and my interest. I was raised in Gunter and lived there until 1971. My dad was a "cowboy" and I grew up on the back of a horse. My husband (also from Gunter) and I live in Plano and we just recently, about 4 years ago, bought 124 acres in Celina and we are just completing our barn. We only started with a 4 stall barn and I've always had an interest in the Tennessee Walkers. After visiting your website, my interest has definitely escalated. My husband, Jerry, just returned tonight from California where he did buy a paint gelding. We will be getting him in the days to come. Now, my interest lies totally in your ranch and I'd love to know what you have for sale. Could you please let me know what is available and when and I'd love to come visit Dillon. I have my eye on a little paint mare here in Plano and if I get her, I'm already thinking about Dillon for breeding. She's a three year old and I've been in love with her for about a year. As a matter of fact, I think she is probably the real reason for building the barn!!!!
Again, I want to tell you how very much I enjoyed your website and do believe that regardless of my "fatigue", God did send me to it tonight. I am so happy that you finally got Top Gun and his legacy lives on in your ranch. I wait anxiously to hear from you.
In Him
~

I love
your farm. The horses are so
beautiful and colorful. I found
your page because I've been
looking for a stallion to breed
my mare to - The Spice Girl
(Paint's Reveler/Rock's Glory
Girl). I love your stallion and
I'm sorry you are selling him. I
love your website and the name
of your farm is beautiful.
Love in Christ
