Vince's Story

Wellllll, After high school,I played music and went to West LA College for two years. That summer I spent two and a half months in Europe traveling mostly in Italy and Holland. The next summer while taking some classes at UCLA, and I got involved with horses. I bought my first horse in '72. At the time I had a wholesale produce business so I would get up at 2 am to go to work then spend the evening playing with my horse and taking orders for the next day. One day I was cleaning my horses feed bin and all of a sudden this flake of hay was headed toward me. There was this girl that fed the horses that wasn't a very good shot,so I figured I should teach her how to throw hay and less than a year later we got married. We bought our first home in Reseda in 73' and in 74' our first kid, Andrea, was born. We used to go to a lot of horse shows and one night at Pomona, we saw our first Shetla...Expand for more
nd Fine Harness class. I was just taken over by them. My mom and dad moved to Fallbrook in 74'. We came down to visit and fell in love with the town. We moved to Fallbrook in 75'. For work I started building houses, we built about seven of them. Soon I bought my first Shetland Pony. One night we were showing the pony at the Del Mar Fair, after the class we were relaxing watching the rest of the show and I hear this voice calling my name. I turn around and it was none other than Joe Mirretti. It turned out Joe was a horseshoer. Soon I was on the road with Joe learning how to shoe horses. It was great for me because shoeing those Saddlebreds and Hackneys can get expensive. Soon I began training horses for a living and then went on the road shoeing them as well. We used to show horses back in the midwest and had a few Hackney and Shetland Pinto national champions. To be continued.......
