Hi, my name
is Diana Stewart and I am the
in
With my husband
ohn and mother
hirley, we make up the
team of JDS Paint Horses. Ever since I was little all I
could dream about was horses. I never had those grand plans to
go to the World Show (Any World) I just loved being with
horses. At 13 years old I helped deliver my first foal and
from that moment on, I was hooked on the miracle and magic of
reproduction. Breeding, and the foundation training that goes
along with the early handling has become my focus and passion.
The anticipation of that blessed moment is unlike no other.
Being apart of my foals first experiences in life is
thrilling. Add to
that the fun and excitement of color genetics and you have the
key to my success. I am blessed to be a stay at home Ranch Mom and loving
every minute of it.....
I
was born and raised here in Fallbrook. My Grandfather UE
Calvert (Cal) settled in Fallbrook in the early 1940s after
leaving Oklahoma during the Great Depression. The Calvert
Family spent a few
years in Oregon before moving to Fallbrook and setting down
DEEP roots here. My Mother (Shirley Schmitt) was only 9 years
old at the time the family moved here. The rest of her life
has been spent here in
Fallbrook. We are now 4 generation to live on the same Ranch that my
Grandfather purchased in the early 1950s. My Mother met and married my Father in
High School (Ron Jay) and together they had 2 kids. My brother Mark Jay and
myself Diana Jay (Stewart) I met and married my husband John
Stewart and together we have 2 beautiful kids, Danny Stewart
(15 years old) and Bonnie
Stewart (13 years old).
Beside
being a partner in JDS Paint Horses my mother also owns
CREATURE COMFORTS, one of the oldest family owned and operated
businesses in Fallbrook today. I was the stores manager for 10
years until my first child was born (14 years ago) I went out
on maternity leave and never went back. I'm still on Maternity
leave-9 weeks is just not long enough to
raise a child........Managing the store is now in the capable hands
of my brother, Mark Jay.
NEWS FLASH...After 11 years on maternity leave, I have returned to the family business and I can now say, I'm back!!!!!!!!!....This time I am happy to be just a part time sales person. Come by our lovely NEW 6000 square foot store and say HI......We are now loacted at 720 East Mission rd in Fallbrook.......CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR NEW STORE
Next chapter, due to the slow economy JDS Paint Horses has gone out of business and I am actively looking for employment outside the family business. Any animal supply stores looking for a qualified sales clerk?
