MEMBERS AND OUR HORSES
Here's a little bit about a few of our members!
Kem Anderson
I've been a member since March, 2002
My horse is "Ace" (Bucks Aceinthe Hole) a 19 year-old-buckskin quarter horse gelding.
I enjoy trail riding the most but also dabble in dressage, hunt seat and think I'd like to try a little ranch riding.
We spent a weekend a couple years ago at Devil's Hole ranch driving cattle and really enjoyed it.

My family is blessed with 2 backyard Morgan mares. We love living near Loew Lake trails.
I am on Pertie, a Lippit Morgan who has placed 1st in Barrels @ MFSC, was 4H Circuit Champion, Reserve Champion @ Morgan Show, won Top Blue-1st out of 35 horses.
We participated I'm the 1998 Sesquicentennial Ride Across Wisconsin. Her Lippit grandma Miss Nikomia won a 100 mile race!
We like to go on Wilderness Horse Pack Fly Fishing Trips and participating in the UWRiver Falls Rodeo team roping (Rico QH) and were in the Winners Circle @TB Racing.

I am a newer member to the club joining the fall of 2022. My love of horses started at Camp Anokijig and then hunter/jumper lessons in grade school. I was out of horses other than the occasional trail ride until I was an adult in my 30’s when I leased my first horse, Edvin, a Norwegian Fjord.
The first horse I owned was Eeyore (or Cantador), a grulla Spanish Barb/mustang who was also my heart horse for 18 years until I had to say goodbye in 2021.
I am fortunate to have wonderful friends who let me ride their horses, and then just recently took over the care of Sonny Boy, a 22 year old chestnut gelding from a friend Giovanni who moved back to his homeland of Sicily.
My interests are trail riding, showing for fun, and dabbling in dressage. My daughter also owns an OTTB mare, Belle. So the love of horses runs in the family!
Terri Torbeck
Scout is my first horse, she's owned me since 2003. I was 48 when my wonderful husband said, "Okay, you can get a horse." Scout turned 29 on June 4, 2023.
She's a registered Morgan, but a Morgan mare was not on my list of horses to buy; it was love at first sight. She is a bossy lady who has made our journey a learning experience for me, she knew it all. She's told me more than once, "You know nothing." Animals are so wise.
We love to trail ride, camp, and play in fun shows. here is the only time we were in an "official" show. Much to my amazement we received a 6th place ribbon. Scout was not amazed, she felt she should have gotten a blue!
Anne Ullius
The is Abby, my 23-year-old Trakehner. Horses have been a part of my life since I was a child.
As an adult, I made sure my kids had the experience and joy horses bring. Abby has been a huge part of our lives. She's been to many shows at MFSC for almost 20 years.
We own several horses (and a mini), who all know the life of being a horse through a kid's loving eyes. We are so blessed to live the dream and for all the wonderful people we have met because of horses.
Julie Wolf
I absolutely love horses, and have been riding most of my life. I started riding English at Joy Farm in Menomonee Falls probably around age 10, then moved onto Western and bareback. I bought my first horse, a Saddlebred, in my 2nd year of college.
My second horse was a paint stud colt (he didn't work out well). But my third horse turned out to be my best buddy. His name was Trigger and he was palomino, of course! I even taught him how to bow. We had the best four years together doing everything from parades, trail riding and camping, drill team, and even earned high point many years at fun shows.
When my husband and I bought our first house he went on to become my good friend Ruthie's trusty mount for many more years until he passed at the age of 21. He was simply the best horse, he would follow you around like a puppy in the pasture, and he is greatly missed.
Horses will always be very special to me, I still ride whenever I can, and I am happy to be a part of this club to keep the interest alive for more generations of horse enthusiasts. We now have Labradors and I enjoy walking, training, and showing them.
