Liason B begins his Under Saddle Career

The first son of the wonderful Holsteiner mare Teonas Allaera (Camiros/Lorentin/Caretino) is now under saddle. Liason, sold to Fat Chance Farm as a late weanling, is one of Firemist Farm's most promising FEI jumper prospects. We are thrilled to see him flourish under the expertise of his owner, trainer Kris Morris. Liason is pictured at left trying to keep up with his dam's powerful canter at the tender age of 10 hours old, and as an early three year old, below. Allaera is also dam to the First Premium Dutch Warmblood colt Daedalus.

Jastriad's "All That Glitters" in the top USEF Hunter Rankings!

Congratulations again to Lindsley Fletcher and "All That Glitters," one of our homebred foals out of the Dutch mare Jastriad. Lindsley and 'Logan' as he is called around the barn ranked #25 nationally out of thousands in the USEF standings for adult amateur hunters.

Wrave 'Out of Retirement'

The stunning and talented Hanoverian mare Wrave (Wallstreet Kid and Georgey Girl by Garibaldi II) came out of 'retirement to broodmare status' to enter the hunter breed show arena. She was immaculately mannered and looked and acted the part of a true competitor despite having been a 'stay at home mom' for the past five years and weaning her latest foal just five days earlier. The 11 year old Wrave will enjoy a break from her mommy duties this fall and will be bred again in 2011.

2011 Kaareltje Foal Expected!

Kaareltje, castrated in 2009 to allow him to better enjoy his retirement, is expecting a foal from the lovely Dutch Warmblood mare Tatiana. This will be his first frozen semen foal, and we are very excited about this pregnancy. Although still early, we are optimistic that Kaareltje's 3 year old daughter Kastiana may have a little brother or sister, and thrilled that the frozen semen has proven to 'do the job' even as he was fairly aged when he was collected. Thanks go out to Dr. Deborah Harrison for her expertise with frozen semen and for allowing us this opportunity with one of her spectacular mares. Also to Select Breeder's Services who worked diligently to get the best results from the freezing process allowing us a chance to reproduce this one of a kind boy. Katje is pictured below in his retirement enjoying the attention of one of his greatest fans, my eighty year old mother!

Wintanzer FM Delivers our first Sport Pony Foal

Our Elite Candidate Hanoverian mare Windtanzer FM delivered her first foal in mid-May, a stunning colt by Weser-Ems approved Welsh stallion Wedderlie Mardi Gras. Sembagare is Firemist's Farm's first sport pony foal, and what a great experience! He has his father's stunning head and neck, strong 'hiney' and his mother's floating trot. We have high hopes for this 'little warmblood' to be an FEI dressage pony. Sembagare is registered half-Welsh and is eligible for many warmblood and pony registries. He is being offered for sale so he can fultill his sport potential. Firemist Farm wishes to thank all at Family Partners Welsh ponies for helping us to navigate this new ground.

Homebred 'All That Glitters' takes home the Adult Amateur Hunter Championships

Congratulations to Jastriad's son Logan, shown as 'All That Glitters' and owner Lindsley Fletcher on their success at Jacksonville. The two had multiple wins on the competitive Florida 'A' Circuit in the adult 18 - 35 division. Logan is Jastriad's fourth foal of 9, many of whom are competing in dressage and show jumping, and along with 3/4 sibling Antigone has represented this versatile producer in the hunter arena.

Wrave's Foal Arrives!

Wrave, talented Hanoverian mare by Wallstreet Kid (World Cup I) out of Georgey Girl (Garibaldi II) delivered a stunning black filly by the precocious FEI stallion Donarweiss ggf on April 24th. Donarsagan is a forward natured, athletically built filly with the powerful movement of her dam and elegant features and aptitude of her sire. She is already displaying the movement, confidence and intelligence that make her an FEI dressage prospect.
