November 1, 2010 Carolyn and Dash went to the Morven Park Benefit Dressage Schooling Show this past weekend, and did well. They earned a 61.74% at Training 1 for 2nd place, and a 63.21% at Training 2 again for 2nd place. Next up is their first licensed dressage show on November 13th at Morven Park. Ianto attended a Bryan Neubert colt starting clinic for four days in New Jersey last week and was a star. It was his first time under saddle, and he did very well. The busy atmosphere, and many horses in the arena did not bother him in the slightest. We are highly looking forward to his future. Below are a few photos from the clinic. September 3, 2010 Below are a couple quick photos taken of Kaiya last night. She turned 3 months old on August 27th. We are very happy with how she is developing.

August 16, 2010 This past weekend was a smashing success. On Saturday Jayvyn went to the Future Event Horse Competition at Waredaca, and placed 2nd out of 7 in the yearling class, and earned the 3rd highest score of the day with a 76.5. Next up for him is the Fair Hill Dressage Breed Show. On Sunday Dash and Carolyn went to their second show together at Looking Glass Farm. Judge Sally O'Connor (S) gave them a 65.65% at Training 1 and a 71.43% at Training 2. Their Training 2 test score was Reserve High Score of the show. A terrific success for only their second time out. Links to videos of Jayvyn at Waredaca and Dash in the Training 1 test are below. August 6, 2010 We went to the RPSI Inspection at Golden Venture Farm yesterday, and it went wonderfully. Catty got a premium score of 49, highest mare score of the inspection, but due to the lack of pedigree of her grand dam Jessica, she was entered into the Pre Mare Book. Her 10 week old filly, Kaiya, sired by Maxamillion recieved an 8.0 for conformation/type, 7.6 for movement, and a 7.8 overall for a Silver Premium. This tied her for the higest scoring foal of the inspection. Photos and a video link below. Video

May 27, 2010 We would like to welcome the newest addition to our herd. Kaiya was born at 3:30am, and is a pretty buckskin tobiano filly. She is by Maxamillion out of Whittington's Cat (Q.Eurosport). We can't wait to watch her unfold.
April 19, 2010 We are slowly getting ramped up for the spring and summer show season after making it through a very cold and snowy winter. Dash is starting to work under-saddle regularly, and Ianto and Jayvyn are being worked on the ground to get ready for in-hand shows. Next month Catty is due to have her Maxamillion baby. We are very excited to see her first foal. February 13, 2010 Took a few photos of the horses in the snow after the big storms. It has been a huge chore digging out afterwards, but no major problems. However, the horses seem beyond ready to see the grass again.
