Re- Tara Poka
Dear Jane and
Joe,
Only a few weeks
ago I reached a point in my life when I knew I wanted to buy my
heart’s dream…a Leopard Appaloosa. One evening while I was casually searching the Internet to
see what was out there, I stumbled across your website advertising
what I most desired. Lo
and behold, after only one click of the mouse button I found the most
beautiful animal I had ever seen in my entire life.
More important than the pictures, I found full-length videos
that answered all my questions and calmed all my doubts about the
nature and personality of the horse, as well as the honesty and
integrity of his owners. I
instantly recognized how lovingly he had been raised, how properly and
thoroughly he had been trained. Having
grown up with horses all my life, I believe these two factors—love
and proper training—to be cornerstones for successfully raising such
wonderful animals. I decided to show the video to my mother, the woman
from where my enthusiasm for horses stemmed. Her reaction proved just
as positive as mine, stating, “This is a fine
animal! This couple has done a wonderful job with this horse. Buy
him!” Talking with Jane
and Joe the next day over the phone only made concrete my 100%
confidence in my decision to buy Terra Polka. The rest of the process was just as effortless as the search
for this perfect horse: Joe
and Jane not only provided a wonderful shipping company, but also were
so thoughtful as to call me to make sure everything went smoothly and
that I was satisfied. I am so ecstatically happy with the newest
addition to my family, and so thankful to the wonderful people who
made it possible!
With
Deepest Gratitude,

To: masterscreekappaloosa@yahoo.com
Date: Thursday, October 23, 2008, 11:10 PM
Hi Jane and Joe:
Rocket fire arrived today at 2:45
p.m. Massachusetts time. He was well taken care of on his
ride here, clean shavings, stall and plenty of water and hay. the
haulers kept raving of his beauty as they talked with me from
Missouri to Massachusetts several times. They move lots of
horses and they just loved him.
I was "floored" at Rocket
Fires beauty when he jumped out of the trailer. He
is beyond what I expected....and his manners, disposition and
friendliness are beyond any other horse I have ever known..
For such a little boy at 5 months old he was very content, quiet
and oh so friendly. I can pet him and rub him anywhere and
he just stands...I walk anywhere and he follows and stops when I
do. He is just so trusting and willing for coming to
his new hone his first day. Weeks ago when I first I read
the story on the internet of your move to Missouri I knew
you must be people who truly love to work with your horses (as I
mentioned in my earlier letter of inquiring about Rocket fire)
and imagined what they would be like. You truly do work
with true horsemanship. He is everything and more
than I expected....I love his color, disposition....the whole
package. I have not slept well in a few days being so
excited to receive him, and yet I don't think I will sleep well
tonight because I am excited about waking up to see him in the
morning. I will definitely pass the word of your farm to
others.
I took some pictures of him and I,
and him alone today.....I will send you some via email
tomorrow but have to have my daughter put them into the
computer...she knows how to send that stuff better than I.
Thank you again so much for making
one of my dreams come true....he will have a loving home for the
rest of his life...
Gratefully,
Carla

Hi
Joe and Jane, He's here! He's wonderful, and I love him
already! I picked him up in Colfax and trailered him the
rest of the way home. He went right into his new sandy arena
and visited with the others over the fence, then got right into
eating and drinking. He had a long journey, but he is in his
home and happy. He is gaiting all around surveying the
scene. He is a beautiful mover. What a sight to see
him going! And stopping. And eating. This joy
will never wear off, and we will be bonded trail buddies very
soon. Thanks Again! You raised a wonderful colt, just
what I've always wanted. I am very very happy, .
Photos coming tomorrow.
Ann
Jack is now living in California with his
new family , Ann hopes one day her and Jack will go on the Chief
Joseph Ride together, she loves the gaited horses. She is 64 years old
and this will be her personal gaited riding horse when he is old
enough. Jack will be very loved and cared for .

Hi Jane and Joe,
Regarding, Maxine her foal Jada and Glory.
We put little Marvel's Glory in the back yard with our
mare Hannah, who is healing from a shoulder wound, and
started giving them milk pellets in with the sweet feed and
oats we had been giving Hannah. Both are doing really
really well. I named Maxine's foal Jada. Both
Jada and her Mama are doing good also. Here are some
pics from last week: We love them and all 3 are doing wonderful. Thank
you so much

Hi
Joe and Jane,
I
just can’t believe what a great horse Fancy is! She
is taking to training well, and my 15-year-old daughter has
her lunging and has been on her back a few times. She
is filling out well. Here’s a couple pictures of our
pampered princess. We
sure love her. She is strong-willed, but she is also
very smart and good. She is everything I hoped she
would be! Thank you for making a dream come true!
Sincerely,
Nora
and family from Michigan

My lolly Girl
Hi Jane and Joe,
We love Lolly...I turned her out with the weanling
Quarter filly Ginger and the minis and they all went out into
the biggest pasture and had such a great time!! She is
such a gentle soul and SO sweet. My farrier came today
and said her feet looked great and didn't need anything.
II really appreciate you bringing the horses and loved meeting
you and having you stay here. I had such a great time
visiting with you. You have a very sweet spirit and it
is very obvious that you love the Lord and are dedicated to
serving Him.
Thank you for blessing our home with your presence and I am
looking forward to keeping in contact with you.
Love,
Bonnie

Thank
you!
I never realized when I started
looking on the internet for horse's for sale, that I not
only would find the 2 horse loves of my life, but I
would also find 2 wonderful friends for life! God does
work in mysterious ways! I started looking in January on
Brokehorses.com which is where I spotted the 1st love of
my life, 8Ball. I then went to Joe & Jane's website
to look at the other pictures of him which I ended up
printing out every one of them. I then started reading
how they felt about their animals, horses & dogs,
and was very touched by the way they truly seemed to
care about each and every one of them! That then lead me
to their story about how they found their farm in MO and
by the end of that, and 10 kleenex's later, I really
think I fell in love with them before I fell in love
with their horses!! I knew without a doubt that there
was something greater here than just a couple breeding
horses! I kept those print-outs of 8Ball on my kitchen
counter until March 4, and whenever anyone would come
over and ask about them, I said "that's my fantasy
horse". Keep in mind that I lived in the city just
north of Charlotte, NC and had absolutely no place to
keep a horse, however I just knew that 8Ball and I were
meant to be together. The day came when I finally
emailed Joe & Jane and expressed my intensions about
him when to my shock and utter devastation I was
informed that he had been sold and was already on his
way to his new home in Florida! I couldn't believe it! I
had been SO sure about him, that we were destined to be
together (then why did I wait over a month to email
them?!) They told me that they had another leopard app
that was a wonderful gelding, sweet and loving, and so I
started to make arrangements to fly up there and look at
him. He was no 8Ball, but he was beautiful, and from
what they said, he was just what I needed. Several weeks
went by during which I found a new house in the country
where I could have a horse and live closer to my family.
During that time I went to throw away the print-outs of
8Ball but found it impossible so I threw all but one and
left it still on my kitchen counter. I still couldn't
believe that a feeling that strong could be so wrong! It
was getting close to the time when I was flying up to
see Sandman, the 2nd horse love of my life, when I saw
that 8Ball was on their website for sale again! Could it
be possible, or was this just a computer mistake?! I
immediately emailed Joe & Jane and asked about him
and couldn't believe it when Jane told me that it hadn't
worked out for him in Florida and yes, he was back for
sale in MO!! I told her that I was interested in him
also, even though I had already put a small deposit on
Sandman, and to PLEASE not sell him before I got there
to see them both! I'm sure at this point they thought I
was a nut-case, because I hadn't even closed on my new
house yet, but they were so kind and said they would
hold him until I came. My trip to visit them was great
and the horses were everything I hoped for and more. Joe
& Jane took 2 days out of their incredibly busy
schedule, and we went trail riding, talked for hours on
end, went out to dinner together and really became fast
friends! They then helped me find a transport company
because the one I had intended using went out of
business just days before I called them. And yes, I
ended up bringing both Boy's ! If you are looking for
wonderful horses raised by incredible, caring people,
then you have come to the right place! Joe and Jane are
truly special and I feel so blessed to have had the
pleasure of meeting them! My Boy's have been here at
their new home in NC for almost 3 weeks now and there
are no words to describe how happy and completely
satisfied I am with them! They are the sweetest, most
personable horses I have ever been around and I am so
looking forward to spending a lifetime of treasured
moments with them! Who new back in January that all of
this would have unfolded so perfectly, as Jane said
"God's timing is always perfect!" When I look
out into the pasture and see those 2 beautiful creatures
grazing, I can't believe how blessed I am, and I hope
that all of you will find the same blessings by letting
Joe & Jane and their incredible animals touch your
lives! Sincerely, Toni in NC

Spirit (Baybe) |
Chloe (Cubby Bear) |
My wife once had an Appaloosa, to which she owned for 15 years
before finally, the horse had to be put down due to cancer. Actually,
I was there when the Horse had to be put down February 14, 2000. This
was a heart wrenching experience; all her immediate family came in
from different states to give there support. My wife and I had only
been married for 3 years at this point, but I had already learned what
great pleasure and love she had for horses in general. I could tell
what great comfort and solitude she drew from this special Horse she
named Rocky that her Father had bought for her back in 1985. My wife
lost much interest in wanting to have another horse after that, but I
knew eventually her wounds would heal and she would be ready to have
another horse.
At the end of November 2006 my wife said she was ready to get another
horse. On December 1st, my wife's 35th Birthday, we went to North
Carolina to see a few horses we had located via the internet. We went
to see them and ended up being very disappointed in our trip. The
horses were complete duds and one guy had even listed an Appaloosa
that he didn't even remember having. I, myself, had spent several days
searching the internet looking for Appaloosas and I had actually
stumbled on to this website known as www.MastersCreekappaloosa.com and
it looked really great but at the time I didn't want to be interested
because it was all the way in Missouri, which would be a long long
drive with us living in Tennessee. We had ruled out even looking into
this place, even though it was perfect that they actually had an
Appaloosa farm. So after much disappointment of making several phone
calls and having no amount of luck, I told my wife we should notify
the owner's at Masters Creek and see what they have to say.
My wife called the number on the Masters Creek website the evening of
her birthday and reached Joe & Jane Micelli. My wife spoke with
Jane for over an hour. Jane had plenty of great things to say about
their farm. Her confident and knowledgeable speech were very pleasing
to our ears. It was nice to finally speak with some people who knew
what they were talking about where horses are concerned. That night we
left Tennessee at Midnight and drove 11 hours(800 miles) straight to
Masters Creek and my wife fell in love with 2 Horses: a Filly and a
gelding, both beautiful Appaloosas. Joe and Jane were very helpful,
friendly down to earth people who had a great feel about them. These
people are great. We purchased these horses from them and have had
them almost 2 months and we don't regret buying them for a second.
They are absolutely everything Joe & Jane said they were. If you
are looking for good quality Appaloosa horses and good Honest Quality
people, then Masters Creek Appaloosa farm is the place to go. They
also raise and sell beautiful German Shepherd Dogs; Heck we even
bought one of them too. She is an awesome Shepherd too and doing
absolutely great. My wife, 2 children & I are implicitly happy
with Spirit (our 7 year old gelding), Chloe (our 10 month old filly),
and Mya (our 3 month old German Shepherd) of which we purchased all
from Masters Creek. We would definitely do business with these great
people again. They are wonderful. We were very lucky to find these
people and it was definitely worth the 2 trips (1 to see them and 1 to
pick them up) we made to Missouri to get them.

Ozzie left here with a nail puncture and his entire foot wrapped
in bandages when they picked him up, they never had a chance to
ride him before he left, they took our word that he was ok,
we had told them we would keep him until he healed but they wanted
him home. He is again healthy and we are so pleased to see they
love him and he is happy in his new home.

Hi Joe and Jane
Hey I wanted to touch base with you guys and let you know that Ozzie
is
doing great. We just got back from a week trip in
Missouri. Ozzie wasnt
to for sure about the river but with a little time he was fine.
He is still
the show stopper so many people have complemented us on him.
Darrin is in
LOVE with Ozzie actually everybody gives him a hard time about it.
A few
weeks ago the fierier was out to trim and told me after Darrin walked
away,
he said he loves his horse doesn't he and of course I said how can you
tell??.
Ozzie has found himself a home for life when I get a
chance I will take a
few pictures and email them to you.
Hope your having a safe and fun summer.
Take care,

Dear Jane and Joe,
I LOVE SPOT !! HE WILL NEVER EVER EVER LEAVE HERE, Thanks so much you
made this woman's dream come true, and he gives kisses!! Thank
you for your help and bringing him to us here in Florida. He is exactly
what you said. He is a lovely spirit with a gentle and wonderful nature,
I just love him thank you.
From GAIL 11-05 Gail calls us at least 5 times each year to
let us know how spot is doing, ,he is a sweet horse and she has became
a wonderful friend. He just had a birthday and turned 5 years
old. Update on Spot, unfortunately
life has changed for Gail and had not been able to keep spot or
her other horses, he has since a new owner in our area who we
undoubtedly know will spoil him rotten and Gail would be very happy to
know he will be loved by 3 of his new parents for the rest of his life
time as he is a very special boy. |

Thanks Jane and Joe. Just had to tell you, my

in the round pen and let my other three out so they can start to get to know
one another. JoBear like to rear when our
Paint gelding gets around him.! Makes a real pretty picture. I'll send some
soon. Him and I are already forming a
good bond. He follows me everywhere. I love him SO much already!He has such a nice personality...
I will highly recommend any one looking for a quality Appaloosa

From Cassie, 10/26/2005 /new owners of MC Harlequin Girl
I want to take this opportunity to let you know how happy I am with my
purchase of your 5 mo. old Appaloosa Filly Harlequin Girl. She made the
trip from IL. to VA without any lasting effect on her. She seems to have
fit right in with my 7 year old Appaloosa Gelding and 10 year old
Shetland pony. She really is beautiful, her coloring could not be
better, she has a really nice head, long legs, and good
confirmation, I could not have asked for any thing more. You both were
wonderful to do business with, Thanks for all the help in getting her to me,
Joe your idea of putting the two babies together for the Transportation worked
great, they keep each other company. I sincerely believe being an owner
of Appaloosa's for years now that you breed superior stock, I was told by the
Transporter that all your horse looked really good, and healthy, and that you
have a nice farm. If any one is interested in purchasing an Appaloosa, do not
hesitate to buy from Joe and Jane at masterscreekappaloosa.com
thanks Again for all the Support
