Imari, our 'Blond Bombshell' at 3 Weeks


Here are a few updated photos of Imari, now 3 weeks old.  She continues to take our breath away with the refined features of her lovely dam combined with the substantial foundation of her sire.  Truly a winning combination.   We are told she is easy to handle and has already had the mandatory foal 'hiney baths' and loves the attention.    With two healthy foals on the ground and two to go from our sweet, senior gentleman it's been an incredibly fun spring.  Next one due in 10 days.  Stay tuned...!

It's a Boy! Revlon Delivers a Healthy Colt



We had another blessed event late this Friday.   Revlon, a stunning Oldenburg mare owned by Markim Farms, delivered a healthy chestnut sabino colt, pictured at 3 days of age.    Revlon is a natural, and mother and baby are  doing well.   Mare owner Kim says the little boy is active and talkative, and has tons of chrome.   We decided on the name 'In Italics' (Talix for short) for this little fellow, as he is BOLD.   Not only do we have a lovely baby boy, but  this has been a wonderful experience from start to finish.  Kim (and her very patient husband) have become true friends, and we look forward to working with them in the future.

First Foal of 2013 Arrives!


EM Wieta, so graciously leased by her amazing owners at Sullivan Farm's Hanoverians, gave us a precious gift late Easter Sunday.  'Imari' arrived on schedule, a lovely Hanoverian filly.  Reports are that she is healthy and sweet, and I can't wait to meet her in a few months!   The newborn is already up and running in the first photos.   Thanks go out to Dr. and Mrs. Carroll who have helped to make a dream come true.  We now have a living legacy from our sweet Kaareltje, and the ovaries and palomino color are icing on the cake!  Two more babies are due in April from Katje out of two spectacular mares.   It's like Christmas in the spring.   We are truly blessed.
