 Moonset's Reflection (Whit Akers Sensation x Highmeadows Bluemist), 1989-2007.
Our wonderful mare 'Reef' - dam of Rocket, Honey and Hanah, passed away July 17, 2007 from an aute case of colic. She was a big, easy-going mare and we will miss her. This is our tribute.
Reef was born July 31, 1989 and became a part of our program after the purchase of her son WNC Rocket Man. We were so impressed with Rocket's abilities that we had to have his Mom as well. Reef passes on her size, athletic conformation and steady disposition to her foals.

 Mark Luis grew up steeped in central California's cattle culture. He learned how to rope and ride as the fourth generation in a Los Alamos ranching family. Mark took his skills from the branding pen to the High School Rodeo arena, competing in calf roping, team roping, cutting and steer wrestling. He won three district championships and a state final before going on to college teams. After experimenting with some non-equestrian professions, Mark came back to his roots working for local rancher John Branquinho. His duties included helping the Branquinho sons with their high school rodeo skills (both Luke and Casey are currently PRCA competitors).

 On a quiet Saturday morning in Arroyo Grande, California, our two year old fillies Gaysha, Galaxie, and Georgia calmly waited for the blacksmith in the barn at Rancho Arroyo Grande. Then - for reasons known only to Gaysha, she startled, panicked, and pulled back so hard on her halter that she came out of it and flipped over backwards landing with a thud on her back. Jackie Brittain, Merriewold’s manager and trainer, ran to her side as Gaysha got up, shaking and scared. Jackie soothed her, calmed her, got her back in her halter and looked her over for any injuries. All appeared to be OK. It was just some kind of freak accident. Gaysha was not a high-strung filly. She had always been easy to handle, good natured, and sensible.
