Natasha
Natasha, AKA Nikki, is Stacey's 2018 Dutch Harness Horse cross mare by Fisher's Gambler. She came to Stacey in 2022 and it was love at first site. Her sassy personality and excellent movement was a perfect match for Stacey.
The pair has shown through First Level together and participated in clinics with Lisa Wilcox and Lauren Sprieser.
Currently Stacey and Nikki are working with Tiffany Bragdell, using ground work from the TRT method, and classic riding to develop this fantastic, opinionated, mare. There is no doubt that this pair will be up centerline through the levels as Nikki gets stronger and more confident.

up and under
Up and Under, AKA Rugby, is Alex's 2018 AWSSR gelding. She always says how he is a "failed" sales project, because he originally was sent to her to sell for another trainer, but after a few months Alex knew she needed to keep him and develop the potential she saw.
Rugby has shown that he is not only a fantastic dressage horse, but also a beast on the cross country course in eventing. He is piloted by Stacey Porter for eventing as Alex has never really jumped until last year, when she began taking jump lessons specifically because of Rugby.
Rugby has successfully competed through Beginner Novice at starter trials and is preparing for his recognized event debut at Novice with Stacey this year. He has also successfully shown through First Level dressage and will be going up centerline to gain more confidence in the ring.
Alison (she/her) and her paint/draft cross gelding, Sam, are working on overall responsiveness to increase his confidence outside of the arena. Sam and Alison enjoy trying a variety of different activities such as trail obstacle challenges and mounted shooting.
Alison also owns Jewel, a 22-year-old paint mare. Alison and Jewel are working on forming a stronger connection.

DeeDee Everhart
DeeDee (she/her) has been around horses her entire life. Her first pony, Casper, was a feisty little devil who taught DeeDee to truly ride or go home. After starting with a western trainer who helped both horse and rider Casper had to be sold so DeeDee could get a bigger horse. After a few horses who didn't work out DeeDee got Miss Night Dude who was campaigned at QH shows, Dee received high point youth in PA in 1997, and got many other awards through the years with Miss Night Dude. After trying out the hunters for a bit on a different horse DeeDee got Kissamee Jon, her heart horse, wand did a little bit of everything, other than dressage, on her. Now DeeDee has her fabulous 13.1 hand QH mare, Lizzie (RWS Legendary Gal), who she is sucessfully competing at Trainnig level dressage. They are working tirelessly to always improve and it shows in an out of the show ring.
Nancy Kline
Nancy (she/her) has owned her Friesan/Morgan cross, Macadamian Mist (Mac) since 2010. Their very first show together Mac bucked Nancy off badly and crossed the river to some fresh spring grass. Lying in the emergency room she was determined to sell him, but her trainer at the time saw the potential for a beautiful partnership and convinced Nancy to give Mac a chance, and after 18 years of being together it's clear Susan was right. Nancy received her bronze medal on Mac and they're still going strong today. In 2024 they completed their final centerline at first level, being inducted into the Century club.
