| We are: Shari Seidman and Dawn Minuth Co-owners of Me Too Radical Read on to learn more about us, our lives with the horses we love, and how we came together to form this partnership. |
Shari grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and has been
infatuated with horses since before she could say the word. The
beauty, power, grace, and athleticism of this animal left her in awe.
She began riding at the age of five, and hasn't looked back.
Shari started showing on the Arabian Circuit in Hunt Seat Equitation,
and did so for a few years until her 30 year old mare, Rosalette,
deserved to be retired.
Her second horse was a 21 year old rescued Thoroughbred gelding,
Captain's Fleet. He had been through a lot in his life, and was a
great boy. Captain raced until he was four, and was then retired to
the Philadelphia Police for their mounted patrol program. After 16
years of service, Captain was leased to a woman who didn't know
much about horse nutrition. To make a long story short, the sleek,
regal, 16.2h Captain lost about 400 pounds in a few short months.
Shari took him in as her 4-H project that year. She nursed him back to
health, and he was back in the show pen the next summer. She then
let him go back to the original owner to be her daughter's trail horse.
After Captain, came Cut To The Chase. Barney was a four year old
Percheron/Arabian cross who was originally used as a carriage horse
for weddings because of his quiet nature. She took him with the
hopes of making him a safe family horse for her friends to play on. In a
very short time, Shari was showing Barney at local shows in Hunter
Under Saddle, Halter, and Showmanship. He also quickly became
the barn favorite for trail rides. He can be ridden bareback with three
people on his back with only a halter on, and go for hours down the
trails.
Through all of this, Shari had always been drawn to the American
Quarter Horse. She was amazed by the versatility of this magnificent
creature. So, when the time was right, she sold her beloved Barney to
a friend of hers in order to follow her dream and purchase her first
Quarter Horse. That horse turned out to be PS Clue Scored, a 2001
sorrel mare, out of the Pennsylvania State University breeding
program. That mare, Dawn, has been Shari's personal riding horse for
the last 6 years, and is now the foundation broodmare for her
breeding program. Shari now has three Quarter Horses. PS Clue
Scored, her 2006 filly Clues Sweet Version, and Me Too Radical.
Shari rode for the Kutztown University Equestrian Team while she
attended the school to acquire her Bachelor of Science Degree. The
IHSA is unique in that the riders don't know the horse they are showing.
Most of the time, you have never even seen the horse before you get
on it. There is no warm up time on the horse, either. Usually, the rider
gets on in the ring, and shows the horse. During her years with the
team, Shari rode her way to multiple High Point rider awards in
Western Horsemanship. In her last year in the organization, she
qualified to show at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association's
National Championship Show. She ended her team career by
placing 7th in the Nation in Alumni Western Horsemanship. The photo
below was taken at the IHSA National Championship Horse Show. The
horse she was riding was from TN.
Shari is now focusing on her horses, and improving the already
fabulous breed...the American Quarter Horse. She will be showing Me
Too Radical in the Amateur classes this year. When not in the barn,
Shari is a member of a Division 1 Flyball Team with her Boston Terrier,
Mya.
