Atha Williams - Owner

Shortly before Carroll retired, I took my own leave from the workplace to follow my journey into the horse world - a dream that started at about age two but did not truly begin until February 2001.

After spending a Sunday afternoon looking for waterfront property around the Guntersville, Alabama area, Carroll and I made our return trip through Arab to make our way home. As I watched the beautiful scenery, I saw a Palamino grazing in a nearby pasture. I had found my horse soul mate just by watching this wonderful creature, and it started me on a journey that I never imagined would touch my heart in such a way that I would never be the same. My husband and I contacted the owner of the horse and to my disappointment he was not interested in selling this particular horse.

But as faith would have it, a week later the owner called to see if I was still interested in purchasing the Palamino, and the rest as they say is history. Trigger was mine. I owned my first horse: part Morgan, part Mustang.

This was the beginning of my adventure of being a horse owner. I love working with these fantastic animals. It is definitely a labor of love. And with the help of a master builder, a crew of five to fifteen construction workers and eighteen months of hard labor, my dream came true with the building of my own barn. Of course Carroll reached part of his own dream with a barn addition to house his collection of cars.
