Suzie (Suzanne), my beautiful wife and I are both certified 'Horse Handlers & Grooms' and 'Ontario Racing Commission' (ORC) licensed and we have our farm/ranch up & going. It is called "DIXIELAND Ranch (CANADA)".
We will offer a 'forever home' to horses, in particular, and dogs and critters of all kinds that need a good home.
Right now we have 1 Thoroughbred mare we named DIXIE that was gently raced at Fort Erie Race Track. We took her on when she was a filly 4 years old comin' on 5 years old. She is now 18 (2026).
We also have 1 Standardbred Trotter we named MOJO. We took him on as a yearling and began conditioning at a race training facility in Smithville Ontario CANADA just down the road from our home.
He showed signs of issue in a rear hock so we decided he was not going to continue on as a race horse. Mojo is now 14 (2026).
I study Equine Podiatry which is the combination of veterinary & farrier sciences ... and have completed my Advanced Trimming courses. We trim our own horses hooves.
It's the old adage "NO HOOF ... NO HORSE!"
Music is a tonic to me and a language all unto its own. I thank GOD Almighty above for this and the many other great gifts HE has bestowed upon me.
I grew up the oldest in a family of eight kids, it sure was a happy houseful. I was raised in a small town ... Stoney Creek, Ontario ... well, at least it was then. We went to church on Sundays and suppertime was special on that day. Mom usually always stopped by the dairy on our way back home to get milk, in glass jugs I might add, and ice cream to go with that supper. I sure wish kids today could experience that ... mother made everything for us kids including a lot of our clothing.
Speakin' of kids, I tithe all my music endeavors and give it to an orphanage overseas in the UKRAINE ... they sure do need a lot of help.
For 2026 ... Suzie and I are now looking to build another new show and looking for players. We have agents and folks asking to book us again ... we always deliver a show to venues to give them 'more than their monies worth' ... and more!
Suzie & I are members of the "Rockabilly Hall of Fame"
My birthday is April 1. Suzie's is Jan 7.
I grew up in southern Ontario but now reside on our 68.5 acre far/ranch as we call it ... in between the small rural villages of Tweed & Madoc Ontario.
Lately (2023), we have talked a lot about returning back somewhere in Southern or South-Western Ontario ... and of course with DIXIE & MOJO.
I've lived in Alberta, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and many places around Ontario.
I have been fortunate and blessed to travel much of this great country of ours. CANADA ... there is no other place like it, and I am very proud to be "CANADIAN". GOD Bless the Maple Leaf and may she fly ... forever.
Thanks for stoppin' by and I sure hope you will come by again or maybe out to a performance. If ya' do, please come and say "hello", I'd sure be happy to talk with you ... and mention ya saw this on one of our websites.
GOD Bless to All!
Randy, Suzanne ... DIXIE (TB) & MOJO (STNDRDBRD)
