A Dream Come True was born in 1986 in Hurricane, West Virginia.
He has been shown in Appaloosa breed shows since 1990. He and Lora attended
their first National Show in 1995. In 1997, they attended their first World
Championship show. Among the many awards that they earned at that show was a
World Championship in Non-Pro Saddle Seat Pleasure!
Dream started his Appaloosa show career with the Mason-Dixon Appaloosa
Horse Club and the Maryland Appaloosa Horse Club. (These two clubs later merged
to become Free State Appaloosa Horse Club.) They traveled up and down the East
Coast, from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware to North Carolina attending
regional shows. After a few years there, job responsibilities moved the
Marshalls and Dream to Texas, where they joined several Appaloosa clubs and
continued showing.
In 1997, Dream started pulling a pleasure cart. He had been ground
driving for quite some time, and had been trained (mostly) by Lora, but the
final touches and seasoning were done by Marty Wernley of Saint Hedwig, Texas.
In his first Pleasure Driving class, Dream won First Place under both judges!
He was off to a fine start! He really likes driving, and he earned his Register
Of Merit in Pleasure Driving in less than a year.
In 1998, Lora started riding Dream aside. Their first outing in Side
Saddle was done in a borrowed saddle which we managed to get only 15 minutes
before the class. They ended up 3rd out of 3, but it was a start. In their
second outing (using their own saddle), they got two firsts and two seconds out
of 3. In their third outing (at the 1998 Nationals), the "Dream Team" placed
4th out of 8. In October of 1998, Dream finished earning the points necessary
to earn his ROM in less than a year.
