“I cannot tell you how wonderful this horse is. Everyone who sees him, loves him. He is like the Golden Retriever of horses and my best friend. He is enormously special.”

“I need to send you new pictures of my yearling filly by Raleighs Full Moon. She is HUGE!!! She is definitely going to be about 16 hands tall when she matures. She is just a wonderful filly with a great temperament and very smart. When I have to put her back in her stall, all I need to do is call out her barn name and she comes running like a dog to me. I do not even need to halter her to put her up in her stall.”

“Hi Catherine, Now that I’ve owned Sophia for one year, I wanted to write & thank you for selling us such a wonderful mare. She is everything you said she was & there were no surprises. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to deal with you. You are a person of integrity & you gave me all the time I needed to make the decision to purchase Sophia.

I also really appreciate the care you put into your horses & the fact that you started Sophia later & in a gentle manner. That is very refreshing in today’s world! Sophia will thank you for that down the road. Sophia is sweet, smart & level-headed. When I am not with my family, there is no other place I’d rather be than at the barn with her. When I was looking for another horse, I knew it would have big shoes to fill, but Sophia fits perfectly with our family. Even at her young age, she is gentle enough for my kids to be around & ride. She is my little buddy who calls out when she hears my voice or my car. We’ve had so many fun days together & I look forward to many years more. I feel very fortunate to have found you & Sophia!

“I just wanted to let you know that Pshyann Moon is now almost 16’3 hands. He is absolutely wonderful! He is so great that we don’t even warm up before big A rated shows! We walk right in to the covered staging area and get on and trot around! He doesn’t shy or spook. He is soo consistent!!! I love Raleighs Full Moon!!”

“I purchased Done N Style when he was a yearling. He has been under saddle for a year now with Joyce Thomas as his trainer. This year he took a Top Five at Region 5 Sport Horse In-Hand. We are looking forward to a promising first show season under saddle in 2010 and are aiming for qualifications to go to Sport Horse Nationals in Nampa, Idaho. We are very excited about this horse as he has the sweetest disposition and the smoothest gaits you could ever want in a horse. He is our dream horse.”

“She’s been showing in jumpers. We went to Showpark in Los Angeles last week and she placed in the jumper classes. I adore her so much. She’s such a fantastic horse and progresses every day. We train with Lisa Westin at El Sueno Equestrian. She has great scope and loves her job. Loveeeee her.”

“Well, congratulations are in order! Another excellent entry on Mr. Moon’s resume. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not about the stallion but what he can sire that is truly important. Sire of a Reserve National Champion is wonderful. I think that is the kind of thing that accelerates. More quality mares will be booked and more champion babies will be produced. All that work has really paid off! And isn’t life something? Pretty spectacular.”

“I have always admired Moon as a stallion. I find him to be one of the kindest, sweetest tempered and most consistent producing stallions ever. I have always dreamed of owning a Moon baby, plus, having a thing for buckskins didn’t hurt the dream any either.

In 2015 I bought my wife an anniversary present that she had always dreamed of owning herself. For our 12th anniversary I bought her a Friesian. We hadn’t had any horses for the past 8 years roughly; between work and life in general it just didn’t seem to work out.

After a while of her newfound love and attention grabber, she thought I needed to get back into horses too. She started asking me questions and taking notes about all of my likes and dislikes and what truly made up my dream horse. Come the end of it she contacted Catherine knowing that I had always dreamed of owning a Moon baby. We have been friends with Catherine almost as long as we have been together and my wife remembered getting an email with photos of this stunning little half Friesian Moon baby about a year earlier. She never told me too much about what she was doing and surprised me with an early father’s day present that just blew me away.

I knew that she had gotten me a gelding by Moon; I just didn’t expect to be swept off my feet so quickly by this amazing little gelding. When he arrived at the facility, he unloaded perfectly with it only being his first trailer ride ever. Once the haulers handed me the lead rope, he just stared at me like, “So you’re my new family!” His eyes were bright and his ears were up and giving me every ounce of attention he had in his body. Within just a few minutes, it felt like I hadn’t been without a horse ever in my life. Rōhnen took to me so fast I’m still in shock to this day. Every day that I go to the barn to see him he comes to greet me with the happiest of expressions and kisses me on the cheek. If he’s in a pasture or turn out he will nicker back to me when I call his name and come running. I can do absolutely anything with this little guy that I could ever want to. He will even leave his food to come hangout with me instead. He’s that proverbial in your pocket kind of horse that is just amazing to be around and we absolutely love him.

I have to say for all the dreams that I have ever wished to come true, only three have ever been what I really wanted or needed in life… they are my wife, my daughter and my buckskin Moon baby and all three of them have given me so much more joy and fulfillment in life than I could have ever imagined possible.

I just want to say thank you so much Catherine, for having such a wonderful stallion that passes on such great qualities to his offspring.”
