Triple Twist is available for breeding this season (2010) and is located in West Virginia. I apologize for any confusion! Please contact me at (304) 634-9203 or tofph3@aol.com
As a child I always dreamed of having a Gem Twist of my own. Then a trainer moved to the area and started giving lessons to our Pony Club. It just so happened that she was breeding the Twist lines and I hoped that maybe one day I could get my hands on one. She then disappeared without any warning and nobody knew what had happened to her. A few years later my mom send me an article out of the Hoofprints about the lady's horses and how she had starved them and some local people were trying to get them rescued. Again, I thought just maybe they would need homes at some point and I could finally have one. Well 3 years went by an nothing was ever mentioned again about the horses until I came home from college for Christmas break my graduate year and a friend e-mailed me saying the horses were being auctioned off by the sheriff. I was in no shape to take on another horse. I was teaching lessons every night to help support the 2 I had but I talked my mom into going just in case there was one special mare that really needed to come home with us. I week later in the middle of nowhere, during a huge snowstorm...we went to the auction.
There was one mare that I was interested in but someone told me she had a bidder that was going to pay whatever it took to buy her. She was Triple Twist's dam. So on a whim I walked down the stallion aisle with my mom on my heals saying, "under NO circumstances are we taking a STALLION home!" I fell in love when I saw him and outbidding the meat market and one other person he was mine! My mom still telling me that we were stopping on the way home to geld him... :) It took a lot of convincing but I finally won out. He was the only one registered other than him dam and these bloodlines just don't exsist any more.
Trey was 6 years old when I bought him and had never been ridden. He weighed about 600 lbs at 3 yrs old when he was rescued and he lived in foster care for 3 years. You wouldn't believe he is still alive if you saw the pictures of him when he was rescued. He is a lucky boy to have such wonderful people to rescue these horses and to fight for their welfare.
He was started under saddle in the Spring of 2003 after I graduated from college. I didn't want to make a decision about gelding him until I could see what he was capable of. He is so talented I feel that he could be much further along if a professional had him. We just plug along and do what we can but he is a dream come true for me and his show record with a complete amateur proves his talent.
