Elrita Annett and Mirina Brown are experienced horse persons with first hand knowledge of a variety of breeds and equine disciplines.

Elrita has over 40 years experience with horses and has personally ridden and shown different breeds and disciplines.  She started her show career at Miles River Riding School with Mrs. Barner and Mrs. McNeil starting with Leadline, progressing to Short Stirrup, then Adult Hunt Seat Equitation and has shown in other disciplines since then. For many years, Elrita showed Class A Arabians.  She has also trained in reining, cutting and roping plus obtained her foundation quarter horse judge’s card and has judged these events.  Elrita has no breed prejudice and appreciates the fine qualities of all horses. There is a special place in her heart for the Welsh since she learned to ride on the Welsh ponies at Miles River.

Mirina Brown has been riding since she could walk. She has a quiet, calm attitude with children, and they love her! Mirina’s Welsh pony, Top Hat Spyder Dance, was Reserve Champion in English Pleasure at the East Coast Nationals in Ohio in 2008, third place high point in both English and Western Pleasure for the Southeast Region.  Elrita did slip ahead of her and was Reserve Champion in Western Pleasure for the Southeast Region with her Welsh pony, Churtchell’s Supreme Eclipse. These were our 2008 accomplishments which we hope to improve in 2009.

This year Mirina’s students; Lauren, Mikhaila, Anna and Alex will be going with us to shows. Alex did well in Showmanship last year. 

Mirina has been showing since she was three. She started out showing Leadline and Short Stirrup and progressed to showing Quarter Horses in Showmanship and Horsemanship.  Mirina has many accomplishments in her record.
