Trail Riding(or just fun-ing around) Pics!!
2007 Riding Pics
The following pics were taken Saturday May 6th, 2007 at Jeff Still's home. We ride there just
about every weekend and it is a nice ride. We had about 40 riders and had a TON of fun.
Heather riding Classy Solano. What
a pretty pair that these two make;)
Carolann and Logan both love
horses and riding. I think they have
been bitten by the horsey bug;)
Carolann(age 7) on her first trail ride ever
off of the farm. She did awesome on Pudden,
a 25 year old mare that belongs to the
Lipham's.
This is Darren on Gayetta Madera.
Finishing up her 60 days of being
broke to ride. She was 5 by the time
we got her broke and she did great.  
Guess you can teach an old dog new
tricks!
This is my nephew Caleb riding Lucky Genuine Cowboy. They have been a great
pair for 3 years now and we are very proud of them.
This is my nephew Chad. On the left he is on Ima Peppy Outlaw and on the right he is
on Spoky. He rides just about anything and everything and we are very proud of him.
Dianne and Candi looking off of a steep
hill. Aren't Rowdy and Tough making
some great horses for baby 3 year olds??
This is Dianne on Tough Silverado Ace. He
has done wonderful. Both Dianne and
Darren enjoy riding him and he doesn't ever
act like a stud.
This is Candi on Sonnys Rowdy Bar.
He is an enjoyable ride. If I can just
get him to broaden out, he will be
excellent. We will give him some time
and see;)
These are Chad's buddies, Cody and Fuzzle.
They are just learning how to ride and are
doing good. Fuzzle is on Docs Peppy Two Eyed
and Cody is on a bay gelding of our friends.
Chad on Spook with Moss standing
ready. A great young man, a great
horse and a great dog. What more
could you ask for??
5 Circle S Bred and Raised Horses
being ridden. On left is a 3 year old
gelding by Lucky, then a 4 year old
filly by Joe, then a 5 year old gelding
by Lucky, then a 3 year old gelding by
Joe, then a 5 year old gelding by
Lucky.
Guess our breeding program is
showing what it's made of.
3 Circle S geldings sired by Luckys Raindance
Kid. All have made awesome riders!
The following pics were taken June 10th, 2007 at Jeff Still's home. We ride there just about
every weekend and it is a nice ride. Come and Join Us sometime!
The following pics were taken May 23 thru May 28, 2007 at Buffalo River Trail Ride in
Waynesboro, TN. This is my favorite ride of the year. What fun and so relaxing!
The whole gang and then some;) This is a group photo
of us on the River Ride Day. It was so much fun!
Cody Still, age 11, on his new
mount Red. Red is 3 years old
and was broke to ride by Darren

This is all the kids at lunch on Green River
Ride Day. They all swam and had a blast- we
do this on the last day because they have to
ride out in those wet wranglers and boots!
This is Caleb, my nephew
age 12, on his mount Lucky
Genuine Cowboy. They are
making a awesome pair
and we look for great
things from them.

his new mount Blaze.
Would you say he was
trying to get Lindsey wet
or what????
Dianne and Chad taking a
run down the river!
This is Jake, age 13, also playing in
the water. He enjoyed his "loaner"
horse for the weekend. He usually
rides a mule;)
Lindsey Lipham, age 14,
tearing it up on Trace My
Teddy Bear a 3 year old

Peppys Lil Cheyenne. We love this filly and are
so glad to see her find a riding/performance
home.
This is our new friend Pepper, who is
15, he had a blast with all the kids this
time around and plans to hang with us
again on Labor Day.

new gelding, Doc.
This is Brandi Lipham, age 18. She came up
and joined us on the River Ride and rode
Fantastic Sundancer. He is sired by Luckys
Raindance Kid. They made a good pair.
This is John, Dianne's dad. He
was unsure as to wether he
wanted to join us for the weekend
but he thoroughly enjoyed himself
and had a blast. His gelding is 20
and did awesome!
This is my nephew Chad. He is riding a
new gelding, Double D. Thanks to Chad
for riding anything and everything and
letting us all swap out as we needed to.
Chad's buddy, Fuzzle, riding Docs
Peppy Two Eyed. They made a good
pair and we hope Fuzzle will go with us
again some time.
Chad's buddy, Cody, riding Spook. We wish
you the best, Cody, on your military
deployment to Iraq.
God Bless You and See you when you get
home!
This is Josh, Kris, and Johnathon Hudson. Some great family and friends too! Josh is taking a break
with his horse Wrangler, Johnathon coming out of the water, and Kris riding her new best buddy, Coti, a
APHc gelding.
This is also some good friends, Carl and Amy Zeng. We
enjoyed the ride, guys, and look forward to spending some
down time and riding with you again.
We have a mare in foal to their paint stallion, Ranger, that is
shown in the pics. YIPEE!!!! Can't wait to get that little one
here;)
This is Darren Lipham riding Tough Silverado
Ace, our upcoming grulla stallion. Thanks to
Darren for all the riding he has done on
Tough. He is what he has become because
you and Dianne have made him that way. We
will keep passing on the word, because we
know what great trainers that you and
Dianne are.
This is Dianne Lipham having
alot of fun on her
barrel/shooting gelding, Little
Man on the left.
This is Dawn Phillips and their youngest
son, Drake. We are very proud of Dawn
and how she has fallen right in with all us
"horsey" folks. Look foward to the rides
ahead;)
This is Steve Phillips on his new mount, Hawg.
They were a great team at Buffalo and were
always ready to lend a helping hand. Oh yeah, his
wife's mounts name is Pig, what a pair.
This is Sonya Still on Dusty. They have
been a pair for ALOT of years now and go
and do anything together. Sonya even led
her own trail ride this year on Dusty. Don't
we all wish we were that independant and
resourceful! We love you, Sonya;), and will
follow anywhere you and Dusty want to go!
This is Jeff Still and Johnathon, age 3, riding
Molly. Molly has proven herself to be a honest
and trustworthy mount. And Jeff just loves his
mule!
This is me and Classy Solano,(Laredo). We have
been many a mile together and plan many more.
We had a HUGE bump in the road this time around
but didn't let that keep us down. Look forward to
many more miles, my friend.
This is Wes riding Ima Peppy Outlaw. It is so funny,
we bought this horse with the intention of riding him
and finishing him up for one of the kids to ride. Then
Wes fell head over heals in love with his good sense
and judgement and how he takes wonderful care of
his rider, and he just won't give him up. Cisco stands
about 14.2 and Wes is 6'1" tall so they make a
humorous pair!
This is also a new friend we made at
Buffalo. Sam was quite the comedian
and we enjoyed him ALOT. Look
forward to riding with him again!
This is Heather Lipham, age 16, and
her tried and trusty mustang mare, Big
Mama.

Isn't this overlook amazing. The drop off was
SCARY!!!!
The following pics were taken June 14th thru 17th, 2007 at East Fork Stables in Jamestown, TN.

getting everyone wet. Then he fell asleep with trusty Hollywood snoozing
above him.
This is one of our new buddies Colt. A great photo
with Sam's horse who decided to take a nap while
we were on lunch break. Also that's Colt turning
the tables on Blake and Jake and carrying them
like two sacks of feed to dump them in the river!!
Teach them to drag folks into the water.

go down a big hill, Sonya smiling for the

have been there. We all sure do love to ride.

Darren playing with his kids on Green
River Day. Logan got a good soaking
and Taylor got put totally in the water,
all in fun.
The following pics were taken July 26th thru 29th 2007 in Townsend, TN. I must say this was the
most beautiful ride I have ever been on. It was very different from anything I have ever seen.
We rode straight up hill most of
the day and got to ride on part
of the Appalachian Trail.
A large part of the trail was just like this. The Mountain Laurels were blooming and made a
complete canopy over your head. All the petals were falling and the ground was covered in
white.
Sonya had to face her fear of
bridges:)
Lots of water crossings and a foot bridge(made
out of a fallen log with a handrail) for hikers at
every one.
Sonya and I sure were glad when we got back to
the park area.
We saw alot of wildlife on this trip. Check out the
pretty field in bloom with the deer and the bear
up in the cherry tree on the right.
The following pics were taken October 20 thru 23, 2007 at Shawnee National Forest in Illinois We only
got to ride one day on this trip because of the weater, but what we got to see was awesome. We plan to
go back this year and hopefully get more riding time in.
The boys watering their horses.
Example of what the trails looked
like.
