for 4-year old Hattie. Hattie and Sugar made a great team and Sugar taught Hattie a lot. She produced one colt
with Wonder Boy (Lamri’s son), named Lynden’s Mutt Ramey, named after a dear friend of our family. Sugar
is a walk/trot star, carrying many lesson kids in their first lessons and first shows. And now, thanks to the hard work
of a few advanced students, Sugar is now cantering and jumping at home and shows. Sugar is also a fabulous carting pony, having
appeared in several parades for Ketterman’s Jewelers, being sure to step around every manhole cover in the street.

Lamri is the oldest resident at Lynden. Purchased at a Farnley Farm herd reduction sale in 1990,
Lamri already had several foals to her credit. She sold with a colt at her side (we named him Wonder Boy), who we bred
to Sugar and Glenny. We later sold Wonder Boy, but continued to breed Lamri to Mr. Ketterman’s thoroughbred stud, My
Boy Dan. This coupling resulted in two fabulous large ponies, Eddie and ELB. Through the years, Lamri has
served as a first pony for the rest Ketterman girls, and even carried them safely through the hunt field with Piedmont Foxhounds
in the hilltopper group. She is now a fabulous walk/trot lesson pony and one of the best at teaching kids to canter
in the Lynden lesson program.

team, showing and even foxhunting with Piedmont. Glenny really taught Richie how to ride! By the time all of the
other younger Ketterman sisters were ready to ride her, they were too big for Glenny, so she became a broodmare.
She produced three lovely fillies with Wonder Boy (Lamri’s son). Now, Glenny is used in walk/trot lessons for
beginners and thanks to the hard work of a few advanced students, Glenny is now cantering and jumping at home and shows
with students.

over their first jumps, through the hunt fields with Piedmont, and to many championships at shows. She is now a huge
favorite with the lesson kids, teaching beginners through advanced students. Her specialty is teaching kids, especially

paint
Color: chestnut, white spot on girthline
Height: 14.2h
Sire: A Bear Fax (Super Bear x Wimpy Dockette)
Dam: My Lady Companion (Companion x I Nita Bonanza)
Registered with: eligible for APHA
Nerd was purchased as
a 6-month old colt at an auction. His name came one day when we were playing with him in the field. We were trying
to come up with a name for him (his previous owners called him Copenhagen), and Richie called him a Nerd because he was acting
out one of his antics. We thought we had and “ah, ha!” moment, and the name stuck. We broke and trained
him easily, as he was the quietest pony we have ever broke. In his first year of showing, as a 3-year-old, he was large
pony champion three out of four shows, showing against seasoned veterans, including our very own Eddie! He continued
successfully in the show ring and served as a great project for the younger Ketterman girls. When Jackie started lessons,
Nerd was four, and Jackie used him without hesitation. He was so quiet, he did the beginner walk/trot lessons daily.
As the lesson kids have advanced, so has Nerd, carrying many kids over their first jumps and through their first courses.

and all of the other Ketterman girls had at least one successful show year on Wimsy. She has won many championships
and high-point awards at the local level, as well at 4-H shows, including the State 4-H show. She also produced two
