Hi Sabrina: Just an update on Sassy. The old girl and I took two year end buckles in team penning this year. She is quite the girl! We are still in the market for a LQ 3-4 horse trailer. No big rush but I am putting out some feelers. I do want a 8' wide and I did listen to your advice about heavy haulers. I still kick myself over that Hart you had last year. Oh well one will come along again. Say hello to Marty.

Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciate and applaud your
work in getting us "Einstein".

While buying a horse completely unseen and two thousand miles away is
somewhat different, he completely fills the bill and exceeded our
expectations. Amongst the numerous compliments he gathers everywhere he goes
is the question of "where did you get that horse"? People always respond
with the same "No, Really" when I say that he was ordered off the Internet!

You are certainly a credit to this industry and someone that I will look to
deal with in the future.

Please accept our heartiest wishes for a terrific Christmas and super
Holiday season....

Sabrina,
     Hello.  This is Krystina Sovinski I was down
there with my family over the summer and we bought Doc
and Jetta.  Well just wanted to tell you a little bit
about what has been going on up here.  First thank you
for the pictures they are great.  Second the horses
are doing just great.  I have been to 3 speed shows
with Jetta and Matt has been to 2 but we took Doc to
another one with me and my friend that has horses rode
him.  So he has been to 3 but 2 with Matt.  Matt is
getting to be a better rider and he is making a lot of
money with Doc.  He took High Point in the speed show
on December 15th and Doc did a great job.  He was a
little jumpy after he did a couple of games but he is
just a great horse.  My dad and I went for a 2 hour
trail ride with him and Jetta and he did a great job.
He was great with my dad on him and was very gentle.
He is loved by all of us here.  I have rode him a
couple times and he is just a great horse cause he
listens so well and was so well trained.  Jetta and I
have also been doing well.  We took Reserve High Point
in November and was one point away from Reserve again
on the 15th.  She is getting better and better
everyday I ride her.  Glad to say that I am getting
more experienced on her and I am becoming a much
better rider and I am not afraid as much as I was
before.  I enjoy riding her every minute I can get.  I
just can't wait to breed her so I can enjoy one of her
lovely babies.  Well I think you did a great job
picking out the right horses for each of us.  Hope to
hear from you soon.  Have many Happy Holidays!

Sabrina;
Just had to drop you a quick note and let you know how Kelsi and Abby are
getting along.

Kelsi was entered in the American Buckskin World Championship Show in
Topeka, Kansas yesterday.  She won the World on Abby in the youth barrel
division.  We were so excited and so proud of both of them.  My parents were
there and got to see their granddaughter and the horse they own win the
World Championship.  Kelsi and Abby are still currently winning the 1 D
youth division in the NBHA district we are in.  So as you can see Kelsi and
Abby are getting along just great!!

Take care,

Dear Sabrina,

Haven't been able to do much with Blazen Host up until now.  That's the reason you haven't heard from me.  Hauled him to the first barrel racing event last Saturday in Rock Springs, WY.  Wasn't excepting to  accomplish very much and just wanted to be able to make a nice clean run.  Didn't push him, just kind of let him do his thing.  And boy did he.....We placed 2nd in the Open 4-D with a time of 16.007, first place being a 15.8??.  This is the first time I've run him on the barrels since he arrived.  The weather here hasn't permitted us to ride anywhere.  Conditioned him mostly on the hot walker and started 2 weeks before the barrelracing jackpot last Saturday.  I think I'm going to like this horse way more than I ever imagined.  Just thought I'd drop you a short note to let you know that we've just won our first paycheck and expect many more to come.

Sincerely,

Wendy Platts

Hi Sabrina,
Johnny and I are doing fine. we had a great year last year. We ended up 11th out of Washington state for the American West, also placing second in the 3d in one of the races at the American west finals in Reno, also winning a buckle. he finished 2nd in the 2d for a series we have close to home ,winning a headstall for the end of the year.also placing in other races.

I'm sure you heard about Johnny bucking me off, I had been running almost every weekend and he dumped me in the Ellensburg  rodeo arena we were running a jackpot race. had a nice run going came of the first going to the second and their I went, the horse can buck and run. come to find out my spurs bruised his sides and he let me know they were hurting him. We're doing fine now that was last June. Rider error not Johnny's. I really enjoy Johnny he's such a nice horse to be around.
I have you to thank for sending him my way. I really appreciate what you did for me.

a nice colt he is.
Thanks for all of your help.

Dear Sabrina,

    Just wanted you know that "Tex" (the yellow horse I got at your place is
doing great. We get along great and are finally starting to get it together.
Thanks again for all you did. See ya!

BETH HUGHES, Bonita, CA writes:

So you've looked through the newpaper advertisements and the
horsetrader until you are crosseyed.  Many horses seem to be close to
what you are looking for.  Those you call, ALL say their horse is
perfect.  Only you find out one is 3 not 7 years old, the other has only
been lame 3 times, and another has absessed hooves.  You want a horse
and a particular horse at that.  Perhaps you have even driven MILES
checking out this one or that one.  Now you are ready....ready to
QUIT!!!
     This describes me in October of 98.  My husband chose 3 sources
listed on the internet.  BUT, who in their right mind would seriously
buy a horse off the internet.  Well, at least there were pictures to
look at. WWW.barrelhorse.com had all kinds of horses.    
     I called the Devers after looking at and reading about some of the
horses they had listed.  Sabrina returned my phone call within 30
minutes.  I started to ask her opinion on 8 horses.  She stopped me and
asked me to please explain exactly who the horse was for and how we
intended to use it.  There seemed to be such a quality in her voice.
This woman I was talking to sounded SO nice.  There was no question
about knowledge.  It spewed out in every word she said.  She and I
talked long distance in the middle of the day for over two hours (on her $).
When I hung up, I was beyond excited and relieved.  I was back in
the horse shopping business.  Well, my exact words were, " I'm going to
stop worrying about this and leave it all up to you!"  Sabrina asked how
much time she had.  I wanted possession by Dec. 24th.  The horse was to
be a Christmas present.
      I totally stopped looking in the paper or horsetrader.   I must
have called Sabrina everyday!  A couple of weeks later, Sabrina called
me at 6:20 AM.  The search was over.  She had the perfect horse!  She
said if I didn't want him, she did.  I bought this horse sight unseen.
I allowed this woman, I didn't know, to spend my money.  More
importantly, I trusted her to make the decision to put my 10 year old
boy on this horse.      
     To this date, I have never met Sabrina or Marty face to face.   BUT,
I have in my possession the best horse God has ever made.......Thanks to
them!!!  (So sorry, you'll have to settle for second best. Ha ha)
Everyday is a day where my 10 year old little boy goes riding.  He puts
on his helmet and rides the horse with only a halter and lead rope on
about a 3 mile ride.   A bridle and saddle are used on the weekend rides
of about 15 miles which includes lots and lots of looping.          
     Do I have any regrets?  NO!  Absolutely not a one!  
     There is no way that anyone can make you truely believe that these
people are so trustworthy, honest, skilled, knowledgable, and sincere.
Only you can determine that.  Start by just calling and talking to
them.  Discuss your needs, desires, and dreams of that perfect horse you
want.  Then, after you've hung up the phone and think (as I did) how
nice and knowledgable these people seem to be, read the "About us"
section on their internet site.  You'll pat yourself on the back for
being such a GOOD judge of character.  A  N  D  you'll never deal with
anyone else when it comes to buying or selling a horse.
     Marty and Sabrina are there to help from worming to riding, tack to
trailers.  Please feel free to contact me to verify any of the above.
Everyone in my town can NOT believe how lucky I was to get the horse I
got.  These people aren't luck, they are a BLESSING!

"Sabrina,

Again thank you so much for matching Bandstand Johnny and I up. Also thank
you for answering all my questions and trusting enough to send him here
without me being able to try him out first. He fits very well at our house
and with me. And he is very beautiful.

I'll let you  know how we're doing barrel racing.

Again, Thank you so much,

Carolyn Greer,
Port Orchard, Washington"
