Mi Alma
Purchased by Alexa, Mi Alma was a 2008 OTTB. Alexa bought him in 2010 as a two and a half year old. In Mi Alma's three-year-old year, she let him settle into dressage training and competed him at Dressage at Devon in the breed division. Mi Alma loved to jump, so his dressage career was cut short so that he could do what he loved. In 2013, he was sold to a wonderful family who gave him countless hours of attention and jumping experience in and out of the arena. Sadly, Mi Alma has since passed away, but he will always be Alexa's favorite baby.

St. Lewes the Irish Lover
Louie was the pony that instilled a passion for dressage. As a stingy welsh cross, Louie took Alexa through the most english cross training experiences one could ever hope for: polocross, eventing, jumpers, dressage, trail riding, and even natural horsemanship. He was the ultimate pony club pony. Louie's sudden passing in 2017 left the entire Derr Family heartbroken, but they know he is still acting as the gatekeeper from above.
