Born in April of 1988, Dove is a favorite among our many of our dude riders.
Big, stout, and gentle as a kitten, she's quite a sight to behold! Most newcomers are
so frightened of her size that we have trouble coaxing them into the saddle. But, just
like all the rest, once they start riding her, they just don't ever seem to want the ride
to end.

Dovey has an enthusiasm that both beginners and experienced riders enjoy.
Wonderfully smooth, easy going and never missing a beat, she climbs in and out of
creeks with the gentlest of steps. The strength and security that she gives her rider
makes you feel almost invincible. I guess that's why she's the choice of most of the
handicapped riders prefer.

A few years back my daughter Chrissy came to me and asked if she could have
Dove as her horse. Well, after seeing how much that darned paint mare loves that
kid, I finally gave in. I offered a partnership deal - I gave her 50% of Dove in trade
for her old black mare. It's a great deal, she gets a horse to ride that really loves
her. Unfortunately the 50% that I got is the part that you gotta feed.

After much decision, we bred Dove to Choctaw Rock for a 2006 foal. We were tickled pink when she gave us a beautiful paint filly with the markings of her sire!. We named her
Choctaw Cactus Queen but have nicknamed her 'Princess'. Why you ask? I guess you've never seen a princess....how she saunters up to you as if to say,"You may pet me now."
Princess has grown, but continues to be the spitting image of her sire, Choctaw Rock.

The ranch was invited to represent the American Indian Horse Registry at the 'Christmas at the
Fort' gathering at old Fort Parker. I had the pleasure of having Dove accompany me on the trip. The
only problem I had was when my daughter informed me that her horse wasn't going to Fort Parker,
cause she'd miss her lovey Dovey. I politely informed her that her half of the horse could stay
home, but my half was going to Fort Parker. After giving Dove seemingly endless hugs and kisses,
Chrissy walked her baby into the trailer so we could leave.

The trip was wonderful and we made alot of new friends. For four days straight Dove did a
great job of representing the American Indian Horse. We were fortunate enough to have the help of
two Native Americans. Gerry Walkstall, a wonderful musician and Debra Manystars, a captivating
storyteller helped us with our presentations. Debra would tell of 'How the Indian found the Horse'
while Dove was led around in her indian regalia for all the people to see. Once the storytelling was
over, Dove would stand and let all the people pet and love on her. The kids really got a kick outta
touching the horse and squaw saddle. There's no telling how many pictures were taken....we even
set it so that the teachers got their pictures taken while kissing Dove on the nose.

It's not unusual for me to come back to my tent while at a living history encampment, only to find that my horses are gone. (Happens the most at Boy's Ranch in Amarillo and the
Great Southwestern Regional Rendezvous) Don't worry, it's not what you think...Dove and Lil Bit are favorites when it comes to a real life game of 'cowboys and indians'...or even a
real indian raid where people are captured and hauled away on horseback. Yep, nothing opens up people's eyes to just how bad it was back then like an old fashioned indian raid
where captives are taken.
