I've been so proud of SHINING SPARK since the day he was born and have enjoyed the tremendous success he has brought BREEDERS, OWNERS & RIDERS for three decades! Currently, with so many offspring that have been bred using ICSI– we will continue to see the SHINER's excel in all Western Performance Horse Events for a very long time!
I am happy to help provide information on ICSI and provide excellent resources and breeding options...

A wonderfully talented and devoted master entrepreneur, and inspiring story… we love you Shorty!

“I dreamed of being a cowgirl since I was a child. I love the Western lifestyle. A true cowgirl is someone who loves and breathes the working lifestyle — someone who dedicates their life to growing the Western way of life in a way they believe will make a difference. You can’t be afraid of criticism. People refer to the cowgirl spirit a lot, and that’s what we all have in common. Cowgirls are passionate, strong women who push through barriers and get the job done. I’m sure when I was young, I thought of cowgirls as girls riding horses — rodeoing and ranching. But what I know now is we are women driving the agriculture industry in all kinds of ways. Yes, many ride horses regularly, but many don’t because we are in boardrooms, driving combines, hauling kids to play dates, teaching ag classes, promoting rodeos, raising money for our industry families, running ranches and all kinds of other jobs.” — Lavonna 'Shorty' Koger
