Sharon has spent her life dedicated to both her family and her passion for horses. Married with two children, five grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter, Sharon's love for horses is a family affair. From an early age, she was captivated by horses and riding and began working with horses at just 10 years old. Over the past 60 years, Sharon has trained and bred a wide variety of horses, focusing on endurance racing since 1987.

Sharon and her family established Windhorse Mountain Equine, where they bred and trained Polish Arabians and 7/8 Arabian Pintos. They also breed Andalusian horses, owning two ANCCE-approved stallions. Sharon’s deep love for Friesians led her to develop a herd of 14 Friesians and purchase the remarkable Bontfire XX06, to continue his legacy in the Barock Pinto world at their ranch.

Balancing her professional career as a registered nurse, with 44 years of experience in nursing and hospital administration and leadership, Sharon’s life is a testament to her dedication to her family, her community and her horses. Together, they contribute to the Barock Pinto community, striving to breed healthy, high-quality horses. 

My name is Matt Black.  My first horse was a Friesian Sport Cross.  I love the calm demeanor and the sport capability a Friesian cross can provide. We have been breeding baroque pintos to get these attributes with a dynamic splash of color!  I would love to participate further in the organization to help serve others' passion for these noble animals and promote this breeds incredible attributes to a wider audience.

Kassy Goodyer has been working around horses her entire life. She grew up riding and showing Thoroughbreds in the hunter and jumper rings locally in Alberta Canada but has since stopped showing and has switched to dressage and colt starting in recent years. She focuses her time on managing her breeding operations and starting and reselling young horses with a focus on Warmblood and Friesian type sport horses. Kassy and her husband own Wandering Creek 

Farms and started breeding Friesians and Friesian Warmblood crosses in 2017. They have grown their operation from one mare to 7 mares over the years. Kassy took an interest in the Barock Pinto breed after researching what crosses would complement the Friesian breed the best for a sport discipline, but also keep the beautiful Friesian type and produce healthier offspring. This breed is not common in Canada, so after doing some research and finding the BPS, she connected with the American association with hopes of bringing more awareness to the breed in Canada over the coming years.
