Brandy **Available for partial lease - contact us for details**
Brandy, the original Sorrows End horse. Brandy, a 20-year-old QH/Arab mare was my first horse and my first
rescue. I found her as a yearling, underweight and untrusting. It took a long time and lots of carrots to develop
a mutual trust, but now she's fat, spoiled, and my all-around horse that anyone can ride. She often gives "pony
rides" (even though she's 15.2 hands!) to young visitors to the farm. She still likes to make evil faces, but the
ears always come up at the crinkle of a peppermint wrapper. She's my baby girl and the inspiration behind
starting the farm. In spite of the attitude, all of the students call her "perfect," and she always makes her
'momma' proud.
Because of her matron status (well, and her attitude), Brandy is now affectionately referred to by the boarders
as "Her Royal Highness."
Brandy is also one of our lesson horses, and is great with anyone from extreme beginners to more advanced
riders.

"Romeo"
Romeo is a nine-year-old Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse cross owned by Margo Thomas. Romeo is being
leased by Sorrows End student Betty Hess. Romeo is true to his name -- a true gentleman and a real
sweetheart. He is wonderful to ride and has a real Cadillac canter. Betty and Romeo have been doing some
showing, both in hunters and dressage, and are doing great and having lots of fun. Already Romeo's stall is
decorated with ribbons from their great success.

CC
CC is a 5-year-old registered Hanoverian mare, owned by Tara Frye, who has come to Sorrows End for
training. She is a big, lovely girl at 16.3 hands. She is very sweet and calm and an absolutely gorgeous
mover. CC has undergone a couple months of groundwork and is now being started under saddle. She's
doing very well, and she is going to be an absolutely lovely horse under saddle. CC is to be Tara's next
competition horse, and judging from her start, she's going to be a knock-out in the show ring!

"Alphie"
Whatsitallabout, "Alphie," has returned home to Sorrows End! A 16.2 hand 1999 TB gelding, Alphie was
one of those horses that I promised would always have a home here. He has always been one of my
favorite horses and was the first off-the-tracker that I got from Bruce Haynes (see front page, bottom).
Alphie was a great retrain and was sold to a home where he did plenty of showing and lessons and did
great. He even went to Ocala! When Alphie's recent owners needed to sell off some horses (love that
economy!) and offered him back to me, I agreed to bring him home. Alphie seems determined to live
here at Sorrows End. He is schooling very well, and is still one of my best jumpers, and I've been having
lots of fun with him since his return. He is shown left at a local horse show in 2008 with a student riding.
Alphie teaches our intermediate and up students, and I've promised him we are going out and doing
some showing this year!

"Jay-J" **Available for sale**
Jay-J is a 7-year-old registered Quarter Horse mare owned by Sorrows End Farm. She is a wonderful
large pony who is for sale by the farm. In the meantime, Jay-J is serving as our beginner lesson pony
and is wonderful with the kids! She is super quiet, bombproof, and very patient with the kids. She's also
lots of fun for adult riders who just want something easy to hop on and have fun. She's a fantastic
jumper and a great confidence builder for insecure riders. We love having this girl here to add some
depth to Sorrows End's lesson program, and the kids love her. Jay-J is currently being leased by
Sorrows End student Laura Lyttle - the two are cleaning up at the shows - most recently earning reserve
champion in jumpers and Intro level champion in dressage.
Jay-J is available for sale at Sorrows End Farm. See our horses for sale page.

Skye
Skye
Our newest addition to Sorrows End Farm. Lite the Skye, or "Skye," is a yearling Thoroughbred colt by Lite
the Fuse, out of Evil Ethel. He is the newest training project owned by Sorrows End. Skye came from Ocala,
Fla., and arrived a little battered and wanting a few pounds, but is a gorgeous colt that will grow up to be a
very handsome boy. He will be trained and started at the farm, and eventually will be for sale. He is very
level headed for a yearling and very smart, we are looking forward to working with him.

Devon
Devon is a 15-year-old Hanoverian mare owned by Virginia Intermont College student Michele Lazarowicz.
Devon has done the hunter/jumper circuit and is a lovely mare. Though she's had her knocks and bumps
over the years, Devon is still a wonderful riding horse and Michele is enjoying bringing her back into form
after some time off being leased.

Pogue
Pogue is an 18-year-old off-the-track Thoroughbred who is also owned by Michele. Pogue is a super
sweetie who has recovered from EPM. Like Devon, Pogue had also been leased out until Michele came to
VI, and Michele is now working on getting both of these horses back into the program. Pogue seems to be
settling in very well here and happy out in the gelding field with all of his new friends.
