About Us
Shannon and I were both born
and raised on Vancouver Island, in rival towns; she grew up in
Chemainus and I in Ladysmith. We met in Ladysmith Secondary School
when Shannon moved to Ladysmith and we were asked to choose a
project partner. We graduated in 1985, later married and began to
raise a family. We have three children, Kyle, Ashley and Cameron.
Shannon had owned and loved horses most of her life, and though I
had not owned a horse before, I had fond memories of riding
other peoples horses. I began learning about the different breeds
and liked what I had read about Morgans. I had looked at other
breeds but to me there was, and still is, something special about
the Morgan breed. In 1987 we saw an ad for a Reg. Morgan filly (Canbre's
Princess) she was in Courtney and by the time we found the place it
was dark and rainy and we had to view the filly by flashlight, she
was small skinny and soaking wet but we there seemed to be a certain
spark to her that caught the eye and we decided to buy her and so
began our love of Morgans.
The first Morgan we produced was in 1991 and the first one to have
our prefix was Morgan Hill Stradivarius in 1993. We have purchased,
shown and bred many Morgans since and have built many friendships
and memories along the way.
Our first Boxer dog, Dale's Ruffles, was purchased in 1994 and our
love of Boxers began. We had friends with Boxers and had seen how
great they were with children and how they retained the exuberance
of youth throughout their lives.
We continue to own, show and improve on our breeding programs for
both our Morgan horses and Boxer dogs.
