HI!
My name is Karl Denny-WhiteHorse,
Although nearing 70 years of age, (Family history of longevity - many passing 100) I am stronger & in most ways healthier than I have ever been in my life - just have to do some things a little slower than when I was 30! ;-) I have been around / worked with horses since the age of 5-6.
I have, in recent years mostly worked for horse hobbyists at stables around Northern & Central CA.
I AM willing to relocate, but for many reasons, including weather, finances & life long residency in CA, I'd prefer to find a position In the East Bay Area.
I am "retired" (US government description) and get Social Security and SSI (Doctors description "disabled" = NOT!) but it is a paltry sum & barely enough to get by on.
Some of my recent positions have included one or more of the following:
Thanks in advance if you or anyone you know in the Horse World may have a spot for me....

My heroes have always been cowboys
(and an occasional Indian, which is fitting 'cause I'm 1/4 Cherokee!)
The Origin Of The "Kowboy" In Front Of Karl:
Here, in a picture that appeared on the front page of the Contra Costa Times; I'm riding my Appaloosa mare Mariah (Who passed away in February 1997 after 25 years of devoted love and companionship!)
with my "Assistant Trainer" Brutus.
He also passed away within the last year, but spent most of his 16 years riding ponies, donkeys, mules, mustangs, and other horses (Including Bogart, a WORLD CHAMPION DRESSAGE LIPPAZON!!).
Alongside are Floyd and Shannon the first two ponies I purchased to use in my business.
I then purchased a Datsun pick-up truck and when I wasn't leading them behind Mariah, I hauled the ponies in the back! and began doing more parties and other events.
After a while I would be recognized, in a grocery store, driving down the street, or riding Mariah with 1 or more ponies; and inevitably one of the children would comment
"There's Kowboy Karl"! (The K spelling of cowboy was my artistic license).
Hence the origin of my name at that time!
Prior to moving to Black Mountain in Northern California in 1996, I spent 20+ years in the San Francisco Bay area as owner of my own business "YES-PONY" which was the name of my business, as well as my Phone Number!
