Hey Jordan and Tiffany,
Just wanted to let you know the horses are doing great!!
Chuck is so calm at times we think there is something wrong with him!! He falls asleep on the crossties!  He has also become Jessicas trail horse. He crosses anything and is as honest as the day is long. I tease her and tell her forget Pony Club she has her next trail/pleasure horse. Hoping he'll be ready for her to show this season. Rio has adjusted well and has figured out "this is the LIFE!" He has turned out to have a personality and a half- something I didn't expect. He loves to run and play in the field, around the pond, up and down the hills and he eats everything in sight- including the sticker bushes! Very odd, but he is a character. Has been great under saddle even though I haven't had much time to ride due to my Moms surgery. No disappointment! Can't wait for the weather to get better so we can spend more time riding.
Just wanted to tell you all Thanks again! Hope you and yours stays healthy and safe for the New Year! We look forward do doing business with you in the years to come- don't forget Emily is going to need her all arounder soon!
Thanks again,

Sue and Tony

Jordan,

After looking at different horses for over 4 months, I had come to the conclusion that horse people weren’t really forthcoming.  Then I came across your website for Dehass horses and Windy Hill Farm.  I decided to call you to see if what the website stated was really true.  We spoke a couple of times on the phone and in emails and I liked what you had to say.  I went to Windy Hill with an open mind, hoping that I wouldn’t be disappointed once again.  Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised that everything you had told me about yourself, Windy Hill and the horses were all true and then some!

It has been about a month now since I purchased Oreo from you.  You had said on the website that Oreo was  “Awesome trail horse, crosses anything, very willing to please. Not only is he a great riding horse, he also drives with ease. Very traffic safe, not a horse that is always looking to spook. Oreo is a one of a kind type of horse.”  Well, I have to disagree with you… he is even better than you described!  He is exactly what I had been looking for, he is a one of a kind type horse.

 I took your advice and had some lessons on him, we worked on my balance and seat, I even said my A,B,C’s like you suggested and I became more relaxed while riding.  I even purchased a used Cleburne saddle.  We have been on several trail rides and he went over and through everything without hesitating or spooking like some of the horses.

At the boarding facility, the Barn Manager put Oreo out with 6 geldings he hadn’t met before.  When I arrived, I went out to bring him in to ride and when I went outside I couldn’t believe my eyes.  The geldings had run him into the fence and both of his back legs were tangled up in the fence.  He was down on this side and wasn’t moving.  I yelled for the Owner and he had to cut the wire fence in order to get Oreo out.  Oreo did not struggle or move the entire time.  The Owner of the barn commented that any other horse would have been severally injured and Oreo came away with just a scratch.  Because you had worked with and trained Oreo with hobbles, he knew he had to stand still until someone came over to him.  

Just about everyone who has met Oreo comments on what a good horse he is.  They all know where I found him, because I tell everyone about what a great experience it was dealing with you and Windy Hill Farm.  I just wanted to thank you again for all of your patience with this “first time” horse buyer.  Even after I brought Oreo home, if I would call you with questions, you would make yourself available to me.  You, Tiffany, Clarence and Adam made me feel like part of your family and I thank you for that. 

Best regards,

Martha, Columbus, Ohio

Hi Jordan,

I just wanted to thank you again for Dually.  Yesterday he passed one more test with me when I rode him bareback with a halter...what a guy!  I also worked some cattle on him (with a saddle on, of course).  He is very cowy.    You guys represented this horse very well.  He is everything I expected and more.  He arrived in California in great shape. I did have our horse chiropractor look him over and he did get some minor adjustments, but after a 2600 mile trailer ride, I'd need some adjusting too.   He has had wonderful training and has excellent ground manners and behavior.    For people wondering about purchasing a horse "sight unseen" from across the country, sometimes you just have to go with your gut and your heart, make a few phone calls, do some internet research, and jump in.  This is a really nice horse; everyone who has seen him and/or watched him being ridden/worked has wonderful things to say about him.    Somehow, I was lucky enough to come across your website and I really appreciate doing business with you.    Have a great year and let me know if you come across any other horses of Dually's status.   

Thanks. Fiina in California

Jordan,

Just wanted to write and let you know that Dually (formerly Macon) is fitting in just fine here in Georgia! He's loving the weather and even shedding off some of that winter coat! I took him to a ranch rodeo this past weekend and he was a huge hit… no one could believe he was only 3! I've also taken him trail riding and have been throwing a rope off of him and he just takes it all in stride. At the rodeo during the sorting, he was getting into it so much that he was literally nickering to the COWS! Too funny!

Here's some pictures of Dually and I from this past weekend… just wanted to let you know how much we love him! My only problem is that my mom keeps claiming him as HER horse...

Hi Guys, It was nice to hear from you all.  Glad things are going well at Windy Hill.  We have been so happy with Oprah.  She has been just as you said she would be.  We all enjoy her.  I am trying to talk my wife into getting another cow horse to go team penning with me.  Haven’t quite accomplished that yet.  If we do, I would like to come out and see some that you have broke and started.  Hope things continue to go well for you and please keep us on your newsletter list.

Thanks, Michael, Tracy, Sarah & Nathan - Washington, PA

Michael got his wish, Tracy recently bought a mare from us named Shiloh

Hi Jordan - just wanted you to know that Bud is doing very well.  He settled in quickly and everyone loves him.  I had my 2nd lesson on him this a.m. and he was terrific!  He gives an honest effort and I am amazed at how much he has picked up from last week to this week.  His trot work was excellent.  He is smart - in a good way!  Bud is just so loveable and kind.  Thanks for everything Jordan - enjoy the warmer weather!  Beth Schuld

Jordan,  I'm glad you emailed, I was just getting ready to send you an update today.  Trey is fantastic!  He got here just fine after being pestered by a yearling appy much of the way here.  He has the best attitude and is so great to work with and be around.  I've spent almost every waking hour since he got here at the barn - he's probably getting sick of me being around though he doesn't show it, bless his heart.  He's in a large run and has a bunch of neighbors he seems to like alright.  As you said, he seems to enjoy his job immensely.  He hacks great and I was happy to learn that he has auto changes.  I have jumped him several times now (nothing big or complicated) and he just lights up at that.  You can feel his excitement and it makes him so enjoyable t o ride.  He got new shoes yesterday and handled that well (not that I expected him not to) and he's getting chiropracted today to make sure everything is where it's supposed to be.  I have attatched a few pictures and will continue to send more if you would like.  Depending on where we are, our first show may be the weekend of April 21st.  Have you had a chance to send his papers yet? 

Thanks! Amanda-Trey went to Colorado and was bought Sight Unseen

Hey Jordan,

I just wanted to send you an update on Trey (I've renamed him Beau) and I.  We did our first horse show 2 weekends ago and competed in the hunters and eq's and got champion in our division!  We also competed this past weekend in the eq's and jumpers and did well too.  He is such a fabulous horse and I am so lucky to have found him!  I cannot thank you enough for selling me this wonderful horse.  He is just a joy to be around and such an athletic animal.  We are really finding our groove together and developing our partnership.  I am extremely excited to see where it leads us.  He is very versatile - it is so nice to have a horse that is well rounded.  Anyway, thank you again and I hope all is well with you and yours.  I have attatched a bunch of pictures for you as well (one random one of us in the mountains)!

Sincerely,
Amanda

Hi!  Hope you are doing well!  Sport seems to be settling in and doing fine.  He is figuring out what carrots and apples are as he is getting plenty of them.  Rode him today and yesterday and he is doing great.  Hasn't looked at a thing!   Thanks for your help in finding this neat horse!   Take care! jen

Hi Jordan & Tiffany! 

Hope you are doing well.  Glad it's spring?  Just wanted to give you an update on Winston (I know, Sport).  Anyhow, he's doing great.  His dressage work is coming along nicely.  He's a very quick learner, once you show him how to do something, he does it.  He's very smart!  Lisa thinks we should be able to show Training Level this summer.  Went on his first trail ride this morning, about 50 minutes.  He was VERY WELL behaved!  Never looked at a thing.  He seems to like that better than arena work.  I am very happy with him.  Thanks you guys!   Jen & Winston   PS, he's finally figured out peppermints are pretty good.....

Dear Jordan, Tiffany, and Mr. DeHass,    

Lee is a great horse and does very well in english and western. I have been practicing with him on lower jumps and he doesn't care a bit. Recently I went on a trail ride with Lee, and he did wonderful! There was logs throughout the trail that I wanted to jump over, and so did Lee, and we did. He jumps very easily into the jumps and is very smooth. Our vet LOVED him. He thinks he is going to be a great horse, and so do I. When I go into the pasture to get him he trots right over to me. He has a very nice lope and puts his head down very low. He gets along great with our other horses. I am very grateful that we got him! He is a very special horse to me. I know he will expand in many great things with me.    

Thank you so much!  

Taylor Millman, Ohio

Hi,

I've had such a positive experience with the little buckskin gelding (Elvis) I bought at the Lexington Trail Horse Sale in Feb. '06 that I wanted to write you. I've logged hundreds of hours on him this summer/fall in the mountains of WV and he never let me down once. He did back over a cliff into a river and had to swim downstream (I bailed), but it was partly due to operator error and no harm done. For as young as he is, he's so cooperative and laid back. I can tell he was well-treated from babyhood - no fear of people or their antics. With that deep pit and scar on his forhead, someone got him through a significant head injury without being headshy - quite an accomplishment. I've had him at a couple of horse shows just for fun, and he does the trail horse class like an old man. We even pulled a very heavy log last week and he acted like he'd done it all his life! I haven't found anything that scares him and I've had him in some very hairy situations that other horses go ballistic in. I'm not young anymore and he takes good care of me. I said I would never buy a horse at an auction, I wasn't going to buy a young horse and the next horse I got would be gaited. I bought Elvis at an auction, he was a very young 4 yr. old and definitely not gaited and I couldn't be more pleased. I did, however, change his name to Tucker.

Thanks, Diana

Hey Jordan, Just a quick one to say Gunner (Harriet) is doing great. You were right.I just love her. What wonderful training you put on her. Either you taught her leg yields or she learned in 4 minutes. She just adores Ozzie and is settling into her new routine well. My face hurts from smiling. Thank you again, Erin.
