Cissy Mitchell

Cissy's first horse was a Shetland pony when she was 3, she then moved to Shorthorn cattle, Suffolk sheep and Nubian goats.   At age 25, she decided she wanted to ride again.  She had a Quarter Horse colt her neighbor  gave her and she started  taking  formal lessons.  Cissy showed “Heza Tad Classy” for a couple of years in Palomino, before purchasing her first American Paint Horse. She showed 'Zippo Raider'  at Paint shows in Novice events. Then in 2002, she went to the APHA World Show with her ‘horse show family’ and they helped her purchase a two year old named 'Skip N Confusion', known as "TED".  Since 2002 Cissy's life has changed, she went from having a young unruly horse to having a unique and superb riding partner. “Ted” has come a long way since she purchased him.  She would spend half the day at her job at Arvest Bank looking at horsy stuff of the Internet or planning her next show.  She planned her whole year’s vacation schedule around the World Shows.  Cissy says. "I have made many valued friends in “the horse world” and look forward to the friendly competition."   "Ted"  has Pinto World Championships in Amateur Pleasure Driving, and Hunter Halter and an NSBA Champion in Open HUS, Reserve World Championship in Amateur HUS.  "Ted" was also in the Top 5 at the Paint World in Jr. Pleasure Driving. Cissy gives a special thanks to Kevin George for helping her make “Ted” a Multiple World and Reserve World Champion.
