Thank you for all of your inquiries regarding the two series, Noble Heart, and the Morgans. As of this writing, I do not have a contract on either. Also, since the person who maintained my website for the past twenty years has retired, I'm in the process of creating a replacement website. Thank you for your patience during this transition. Please continue to check my blog, and as always you can still reach me by email. Again, thank you!
The real Noble Guardian is doing well in his retirement and is cared for with great love from his owner. My own journey with the Noble Guardian book series is not moving forward as I had hoped. I look forward to the day when I see them in a published form or on television in a series. Hang in there, I am.
Noble Guardian Retires! Yep, the real Noble Guardian has retired from a lustrous career. as a Hunter. Below is the beautiful tribute written by his owner about his retirement.
I have a special announcement to make.. As you all know, Alvero was my first horse. He took me from schooling 2' to 4' (showed up to 3'). He was the absolute best first horse I could ever ask for. I have so many memories with him that I will cherish for the rest of my life. He taught me to be a good horseman, competitor, rider, and most of all he taught me how special it is to have a bond like we have. The bond we have is something irreplaceable.
He joined the family
June 4th, 2014, and we immediately hit it off. I remember my trainer looked at
many horses for me before we found Alvero, and for odd reasons they never
worked out. I know now that was for a reason. I got a phone call one day in May
of 2014 from my trainer saying “Hey, we found a horse for sale that I think
would be a good fit for you, want to come with us while we pick him up for a
trial?”, and the rest is history. Over the next few days, I took lessons with
him and I loved him. I remember thinking “am I making the right choice?” when I
said yes, and it absolutely was. We took to each other immediately. I was his
and he was mine. I remember waking up in the morning every day and I couldn’t
wait until I could see him. During that time (2014/2015), I was struggling with
severe depression, and seeing his face every day was what kept me going.
Without him, I don’t know if I would be here today.
We immediately found
a rhythm together. My first show with him I remember walking out of the flat
class with the blue ribbon, and the pure happiness I felt was unrivaled. We
kept showing and getting better and better over the years, and now I have a
whole box of blue and champion ribbons I will forever cherish. Not only was he
an incredible first horse, but the show ring is where he absolutely shined.
When you took off the martingale for the flat class he would flick his toes
extra, when I made a mistake he would do his best to hide or fix it, and when
we put in a good trip, he absolutely knew it. It was really hard for me to
retire him from showing knowing how much he loved it, but he was almost 21, and
it was very important to me to retire him sound. He had given me SO much and
taken care of me throughout the years, and it was my turn to take care of him.
