Emily Efurd on Doras Special Dream "DeDe" "Dora’s Special Dream aka DeDe was a God send and landed in my lap by pure accident. I was not shopping for a horse when I bought her. When I saw DeDe and rode her I had to have her. She was started on barrels by a close friend of mine who was tragically killed. At that point I was really wanting to find a trainer that could finsh her training and do it right. Most of all I wanted a trainer that I knew I could ride after and I wanted a trainer that would not push her more than she was ready. Otherwise, I want what is best for my horse and I wanted my horse for the long haul. I want my horses to have a definate whoa and turn and I don’t want to have to fight,….I want to enjoy the ride. I talked to quite a few people I knew and they all reccommended Kim Thomas. I was introduced to Kim one year at the BBR Finals and really liked the person she was. Kim went on with DeDe, did some corrections on her. One thing I really love about Kim is that she lets the horse come into their own…she wont’ push and terrorize your horse in the name of fame. Kim hauled DeDe, exhibitioned her in different pens, entered her into local shows, and then on to larger shows. Kim qualified DeDe for the WPRA Finals that year and even produced DeDe’s first pay check in the average. I brought DeDe home after the WPRA Finals and began to ride her. I got to ride her in only two shows and my granddaughter’s good horse would be put out of commission for six months. Emily was devastated that Scout would not be able to compete for so long and was very concerned and afraid she would not have a horse to compete on for the Jose Reunion, Josey Jr. World, and the NBHA Youth World. Well, Emily was going to have to learn to ride DeDe! DeDe is a powerful runner and has different style than any horse we have competed on. It wasn’t easy to try and get with a new mount in a very short time. Thanks to the way Kim trains Emily and DeDe are becoming quite a pair and did very well in all of her major shows. Kim now has my second horse in training and will soon have my third. If I have my way, she will train all my barrel horses. Thank you Kim for doing a great job and sending home a great horse."
