SEYVILLADAWNPROOF

SeyvillaDawnProof was the first ranch horse we started and she became the first equine for SS Ranch 77.

Seyvilla came to use from the racetrack where he sweet personality caught the attention of our uncle who happened to be a farrier at the same track where she was racing. He had shod her a few times and when the owner decided to sell, our uncle gave us a call.

What followed would be 16 years of training, riding, and enjoyment as well as challenges. Being an Arabian she was definitely a handful. Over the years we developed a bond with her that increased our love for horses and our desire to train other young equines. Other horses he had for a few months at a time, during those years, helped us continue training her while bettering us as trainers and riders.

Seyvilla taught us so much and we are grateful for the time we had her. Thank you for the opportunity!

Seyvilla Dawn Proof was born Seyvilladawnproof on January 28, 1998. The bay colored, full blood Arabian was sired by NF Proof, her dam was Seyvilla Dawn. I found her last race posted online! She ran last on August 31, 2001. As a matter of public record, the last jockey to ride her in that race was Gladney D.
Three months after her final race, my uncle who was her farrier, introduced my family and I to the idea of owning her.

On September 28th, I caught my first sight of Seyvilladawnproof as she was backed out of the horse trailer that had brought her from Los Alamitos racetrack. I was totally stoked! She was my first horse and I could hardly wait to get started! That was the start of 12+ years of exciting, hardworking, but always rewarding ownership.

My sister, Sheena, and I started with lots of groundwork and lunging, getting to know Seyvilla and letting her get to know us. We went out and worked with Seyvilla as many days after school as possible, training her to accept the western saddle that is more than twice what a racing saddle weighs.

With faithful training and riding, Seyvilladawnproof went from a racehorse who basically only knew how to run, to a horse who is good with riders of all ages and all experience levels.
