Foal Cam, Update (April 29)
My popular mare cam can be found here for PC users, and I have been given a new link for those of
you who are on a Mac computer, try this link. Mac users will need to have flip4mac installed.
Abke - sire of Cece's foal (April 29)
Cece's new colt is sired by Gerd Sosath's lovely stallion Abke. It was very nice to read on the Sosath's website that Abke recently won an international Puissance with Felix Ewald in Forst /Lausitz, by jumping
over a 2.10 metre wall! Now that is jumping talent!
Wild weekend - foals arriving! (April 28)
Wow what a weekend! On Saturday my Oldenburg mare Coeur de Championne delivered her third foal, a stunning colt by the Oldenburg jumper stallion Abke by Accorado I. This
colt is just lovely!
Sunday night late my friends mare Reba delivered a colt by Regazzoni! A beautiful chestnut sabino colt.
RPSI inspection (April 17)
Per an email from the office, right now it appears that Tuesday August 26 will be our RPSI inspection. More information to come in the summer.
Broken Records (April 17)
With the snow has finally melted, and the tulips and daffolids are poking up from the ground. I did a little sluething to find out what our official snowfall was for this past winter.
To backup a moment, this past winter was long, cold, and just awful. We had feet and feet of snow, not the normal for our area by any stretch. So officially so far (and we certainly
could see more snow yet) was 101.4 inches. The record we broke was I believe about 75 inches.
It was a long winter, for sure.
Some new photos (April 7)
Thanks to Laura for assisting me this past weekend with cleaning up a few of the yearlings for a photo shoot. They are still hairy from our long harsh winter, and a bit dirty too,
but we did our best and grabbed a few photos.
This is Sophia Loren, a 2007 filly by Stedinger out of Replikah.
And this is Coeur de Rouet by Balou de Rouet out of Coeur de Championne
Foals are coming! (April 7)
Foaling season is upon us, and the first mare is due in just a matter of a few days. Remember that we stream our foaling cams online,
hosted by www.myhorsecam.com. Cam is usually turned on in the evening after 7pm. When a mare is closer to foaling we may leave her inside and the cam would stay on.
Congratulations To Christine Parks (March 31)
Christine Parks of Wisconsin has purchased our handsome young gelding French Kiss HF, or "Tigger" as he's known. Tigger was a gold Premium at his RPSI foal inspection, and is now going
nicely under saddle in dressage. Congratulations Chris!
New video coming for Replikah (March 17)
I've had lots of requests for new video of Replikah, which normally should be difficult. But this crazy winter has made it nearly impossible! It's been so cold that the camera doesn't work,
but finally it's warm enough, sunny enough, and the stars have aligned, and I have new video. I just have to pull it from the camera and upload the clips. Check out the sales page for the updates
in a day or two.
Congratulations To Susan Burkhardt (March 15)
Susan Burkhardt of Illinois has purchased our handsome young colt Regal Champion HF, or "Reggie" as he's known. Reggie is sired by the popular Rohdiamant son, Routinier,
and is out of the Queen of the farm, La Championita HF or "Grace." Reggie was a Premium foal at his inspection and earned the comment of being the best moving foal of all the "R line" foals presented that day.
Susan is thrilled to have him and looks forward to showing him in some in-hand classes and then later, in the hunter divisions. Congrats Susan!
