Dr. Gerry Johnston

aboard Nacho Grande

One of our grayest members (no, not Gerry),  this four year old gelding more affectionately known as "Nacho" has been hunting with the AVH since he was two. Nacho is by the Hanoverian stallion Rio Grande and out of the Arabian mare "Farah".  Nacho is looking forward to hunting with his half brother "Chilli", also out of Farah & owned by the Rollicking Horse Ranch, when Chilli makes his debut at some point

"Irish"

Irish is a very handsome one year old male Crossbred Foxhound.....

Immaculately turned out, this very capable young rider, Rachele Foote, is shown here capping on "Arthur the pony". Arthur is owned by Julia & Susie Hinojosa

"Irish"

.... Irish is a very handsome one year old male Crossbred Foxhound. His mother is Irma, one of our Piedmont hounds. His was fostered by Bruce & Mary Rand early on, then by Jeannine & Paul. Paul says that Irish has a white seagull on his back somewhere.

"Duke"

This is "Duke" owned by "The Happy Hoofer" himself. Duke is an 11 year old Canadian gelding bred by Ross Farm Museum, out of LaGorgendiere Fox Miria and by Ross Farm Tain Salazar. Duke's registered name is Salazar Eclat Duke.     Duke seems like a nice horse that likes to jump despite that fact that his owner doesn't.

"Sergio"

The first thing you should notice about me is my gorgeous big floppy ears that I have inherited from my mother Jenga. I also have her beautiful voice and keen nose. My father is Kibbles, and my adopted parents are Paul & Jeannine. I am the hound with a lot of black on my back and a very narrow blaze with a lot of white over my muzzle. I can usually be spotted running with the leaders. In the photo on the right I am probably getting in trouble for stepping ahead of everyone but I am only a year old and its so hard to contain my enthusiasm.  Give me a kiss next time you see me, I am very friendly and loveable!

"Duncan" is an 11 year old bay gelding. He's one-half Hannovarian (by LA Express), one-quarter TB and one-quarter Cleveland Bay (out of Canterbury Tales).  Julie (Lori's sister) competed Canterbury for a short period of time until she was retired due to injury.  She was sold as a broodmare to Katharine Diefenbach with "first option" on any colts.  Duncan was her first foal and Lori purchased him as a yearling.  With some guidance from Susan & Lorne Fraser, Lori broke Duncan when he was four. He has been competing at local horse trials and fox hunts since the age of six.  Duncan also spent one season eventing in New Jersey with Julie during her 'horse-less' year.
