​

EL ROJO JOYA - The Red Jewel, and that she was! We said farewell to our beloved Joya in 2011. She was a true blessing to both myself and my daughter for many years. I retired her several years prior to her passing to a much deserved life of leisure.

 

In her younger years Joya was many times a champion, her show career spanned nearly 15 years over several states and included numerous championships in Western Pleasure. Joya was even shown to a 4th place award at the Scottsdale Show by a rider that was under 10 years of age! After her show career Joya became a trusted school horse and trail mount.

 

In addition to a successful show career, Joya was my very talented and always willing dressage partner, incredible trail horse, parade mount, distance horse, and a FABULOUS lesson horse. Her most important role was as the trusted mount of my daughter. She has brought immeasurable joy to our lives, it was truly an honor to be owned by her. She will live on forever in our hearts. We love you Joy Joy!!
