Kevin, Anne, Alise, Dacia and Daniel Dykstra
A love for horses started with Anne's Grandpa Edwin Cooper telling stories of the good old days working with horses and helping Anne with her first pony, Pepper. So when we had our own place, Anne made sure we all had a horse to ride and we spent many fun days on trailrides with friends. Then one of those friends, Bridget Casper, introduced us to POAs when she said, "If you get Alise a POA, I will take her to the POA shows with Erin." A trip to the sale in Des Moines and we came home with a beautiful palamino, RKS Show Lou San and we were hooked!
