SUGAR
1976-8-25-06 We miss you!
Sugar is a 13.3 hand Ponies of America breed. She was 30 years young. A favorite among our riders for
her sweet disposition and patience. Sugar was one of the six Rockin' L &
D Ranch horses that participated in the San Marcos Holiday parade. Our
gymkhana club, Vallecitos Spurs, won the Best Spirit for youth and
animals trophy.

Sugar is at Orange Glen High School Future Farmers of America (FFA)
educational day. Rockin' L & D Ranch student, Rebecca, explains to
elementary school kids how to take care of a horse. Sugar enjoyed the
attention and the bucket of carrots for her hard work of looking pretty.

Shurroco
|
Drew on Shurroco, a buttermilk buckskin Quarter pony,
has won countless awards from most improved to the top three at the
big CGA Spring Classic show. Also several gymkhana belt buckles. Every
student that has ridden Shurroco in either gymkhana, fun day shows or
rail has placed in the top three of the class. This 22 year old
Quarter pony is the alpha of the herd and likes to work. He is Rockin'
L & D Ranch's most versatile lesson horse as he does it all from English,
Western, gymkhana, trail, cows, and can jump four feet.

Nikia
Nikia is a liver chestnut American Quarter horse.
This 23 year old mare has the spirit of a 4 year old! She is for
advanced riders. Barrel racing. cutting cattle and
trail is her love. On the ground her manners are suburb, a six year
old could lead and groom her and she wouldn't move a muscle. Nikia made
her gymkhana showing debut 2005/2006 earning a fourth place over all for
the year despite missing three shows.
