"I found "A Small Fortune" aka "Penny" thanks to Jayne and Lisa. The day she arrived, I led her around the barn since she didn't understand about crossties. I immediately felt like I had known her my whole life. I may have. She is a ringer (only shorter) for the mare, Fortune, I had as a teenager both in appearance and temperament, hence her name. As with every other horse I have worked with at Mistover, she loves all the love, training and carrots she gets from both staff and other boarders."


“Jack”,
one of Mistover’s newest boarders, went to Wells Valley Farm in the middle
of May for his first “overnight away” schooling show since coming to
Mistover in October 2007. Jen Nagy, Jack’s trainer, showed him fantastically
in two tests, 1st Level, Test #1 and Test #2, where they won 2nd place and
1st place ribbons, respectively. “Jack” is a sweet horse and is known at
Mistover as the horse with the unusual face and quite the loud nicker. He’s
a 16h 2, 12-yo QH/Thoroughbred cross, with a bright white face and chestnut
body. Jen spent the last six months transforming Jack from a “pleasure
horse” to a “fancy dressage horse” (as Maryal Barnett put it in her February
clinic at Mistover).
His proud owner, Kathy Mathew, says
“if it weren’t for Jack’s excellent training program with Jen, and that
“Mistover special touch”, she would have never realized her dream of seeing
her horse participate at this level.
Jen and Jack are headed to Bethlehem,
CT, next month, along with a few of his “friends” from Mistover.
