The Anderson's and their world famous Texas White Horse Troupe are one of Americas premier and finest equestrian families, well know for their offerings of just about anything equine. JoAnn was a former Radio City Music Hall Rockette, and her father and mother, Joe and Vi Hoffmeister were noted horse trainers. In the late 70's Joe trained one of the greatest liberty acts of its day, and presented it as Chief Joseph dressed as an indian. Eight spotted Appaloosa stallions, working with no harness, long before it became fashionable and trendy.
Daughter Stacy Anderson, noted movie stunt women and her Roman riding team, and son Austin, Trick rider supreme. The Andersons have specialized in a breed of horse known as the American Albino. The registry for these beautiful horses was founded in 1937 by Cal and Ruth Thompson, and the Anderson's are recognized as the greatest promoters of this beautiful horse breed.

That picture of Don and JoAnn scared me. I thought that was my ex with JoAnn! I was riding for the Texas White Horse Troupe when Austin was a baby and Stacy was born! Seems like a long time ago. Oh, yeah, it was. Greatest experience of my life and wonderful people to work for. I met many friends working for them, including the Smaha family. Times that I will always treasure.
