1000 Hours - GTR Patricks Vindicator and Sarah Schaaf
Patrick and Sarah started their season in April 2016 by exhibiting at
their second Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event. Patrick demonstrated
the versatility of the Miniature horse performing jumping and tricks
that wowed the thousands that came to watch over the course of the weekend.
He was also invited to do multiple meet and greets at the Absorbine, Purina
and Bob Mickler’s tents where he “signed” autographs and posed for pictures
with his fans. Patrick and Sarah were in attendance at the Breeds barn at
the Kentucky Horse Park, where they gave daily demonstrations on multiple
weekends and answered the many questions everyone had about Miniature
horses. Other events they attended this year included Breyerfest (as part of the Bluegrass Miniature Horse Club),
Morning Trackside at Keeneland Racetrack, Hallowhinny, The Bluegrass Classic and the CP National Horse Show.
Additionally this year Patrick and Sarah began therapy work at a new facility near their home where he was
adored by the patients and brought smiles to everyone he met!
Patrick’s schedule for the coming year will be just as full with some additional activities yet to be announced.
Patrick will be turning 23 on April 17, but he shows no sign of his age and is always willing to please. Sarah and
Patrick celebrate their 19 year partnership this year as well. Sarah is so thankful for every day that she gets to spend
with this special little horse.

Carolyn Menzer
H&HS Geminis
Eight Dollars, aka, Toy, went
to his first AMHA show
this year. He placed with
one first and two seconds
in his color class. Not bad
for his first official show.
He will be 16 yrs old this
year and although he’s
only 29 inches, he loves to
jump! He has the heart of a
champion. Toy and Carolyn
spend lots of time together,
going on walks, grooming and working on the
obstacle course. Carolyn would like to encourage
everyone to join in the fun and compete in this
wonderful AMHA Mini Hours Program!
Firewaters Bay Dream Believer
and Sherry Gile
Firewaters
Bay Dream
Believer and
Sherry went
to one AMHA
show this year.
Although these
two are just
getting started
as a team,
the mare is
teaching Sherry
a lot about
showing in
halter classes.
Her sassy attitude makes showing in halter a bit
more challenging but still fun.
