Just 4 Fun Paints
We are 4 girls, grandma Sue, mom Steph, and 2 daughters, Brittney and Chloe, who show Paint horses! Susan started showing horses in her youth, mostly in 4H and Open shows, on her tobiano Pinto mare, named "Paint". When she got older, she and her husband started raising Paints and showing at APHA shows. When her daughter, Steph, was old enough, they began showing together. Steph also started out at 4H and Open shows, but quickly added APHA shows to her schedule. |
As a Youth, one of Steph's favorite horses to show was Casas April Daisy (April). Together they won many awards in 4H, Open and APHA shows. One of the awards Steph is most proud of is earning their APHA Superior Youth Western Pleasure. April was born in 1984, we raised her from a foal, and she is still with us today. |
Fast forward several years, and now Steph is the mother of 3 children, Brittney, Trevor and Chloe. Although Trevor is not interested in the horses (sports and ATVs are his interests), Brittney and Chloe are horse lovers and enjoy showing. Brittney started out on, none other than, Casas April Daisy - her mothers favorite horse! April was 20 years old by that time, so although April was a good horse for Brittney to learn on, she quickly moved on to a younger horse, and we let April retire for good. |
The last couple of years Brittney has shown a Paint mare, Sheza Stylin Too (Xena). They have worked hard together and have been a great team. In 2009 they earned their APHA Youth Championship, and APHA Superior Youth Showmanship. They also have several ROMs and other awards, which you can read more about on Xena's page. Brittney is showing a new horse in 2010, Ima Frostee Diva. They began showing together mid-2009 and have already begun to earn points towards their Youth Championship. |
Chloe is quickly becoming a very good rider, and has moved from Leadline classes to Walk-Trot. Chloe and her mom are going to work with Xena together this year. Steph will be working towards her Amateur Championship, and Chloe will be polishing up on her Walk-Trot skills. |
Susan has a new horse to show this year, MSP YeaImCoolLikeThat (Gracie). They will be working on getting ready for Halter, Showmanship and Western Pleasure, adding classes in the future to hopefully earn an Amateur Championship. The girls of Just 4 Fun Paints are looking forward to an exciting and fun year!! |
