We've finally decided to try and get some Quarter Horses. Amanda has put in an offer on two awesome foals from Echo Valley that we hope to attain to start our training and breeding facility. If not, that's okay. Amanda has other tricks up her sleeve. Her father had a great eye and keen sense of telling which horses would be right for her and her dreams and he passed it down to her. She could take the ugliest and scraggliest thing and turn him into a champion. Amanda Robichaux would not allow her dreams to be crushed no matter how low she felt.

It helped that a Buckskin Overo mare Princess was by her side the whole time. Her dad had picked her out of a ranch's foals and given her to Amanda as a gift before he passed away of lung cancer. Amanda and Princess grew closer and were best friends. They vowed to make him proud. They decided to move to Hidden Springs to start over again and build the legacy of Western and English riding together as one.
