Murphy Les Hauts, is owned by Mary. Murphy is an 8-year-old Belgian Warmblood who loves carrots and watermelon. The pair train at Madrone Ranch in Austin, Texas.
Murphy is a dark bay with short white socks on his back legs. He was imported from Belgium and Mary met him at a show in Chicago shortly after he arrived. It was love at first sight for her. Since then his sweet, curious personality and brave disposition have won her over and helped her be just as brave as he is.
Mary’s love for horses began in 4H. She rode western in college and then started a family. She took a ten-year break but when her youngest went to kindergarten she decided to get back into riding. She started taking hunter/jumper lessons, then leased a horse, and now she has Murphy.
