Growing Girls

     In the blink of an eye the weeks have past, and Reisa is now two weeks old.  This sweet and gorgeous filly has captured my heart with her amazing personality, and I am in serious danger of keeping her all to myself!  As kind as she is pretty, she is the spitting image of her very successful grand-dam Full Moon, one of the the kindest mares I have ever known.   An amateur rider's dream horse in the making.                          

Meanwhile Kaiten has turned one month old, and it is no surprise with her athletic parents that she has huge bone, powerful movement and is already beginning to display the qualities necessary for the demands of upper level dressage.   No fragile flower here!   This baby appears to be every bit as FEI capable as her famous father and her talented young dam, and we are very carefully considering homes for Kaiten with owners who will be able to develop her properly for a future in the sport arena.   

                                

...and It's Another GIRL!

Windtanzer delivered a stunning chestnut filly, again early Monday morning.   Monday's are looking up these days!    Of course no breeder minds those fillies.

'Red October' was up and nursing in half an hour, breaking even Kaiten's record.   She is surprisingly refined for a Rotspon - Tanzer cross, and favors her grand-dam Full Moon (Wertherson - Jet Stream) both physically and in nature.    'Reisa' as we are calling her in the stable is so sweet and personable that it's been hard to take a good picture - she is never far enough away to get much more than a muzzle!   We managed a head shot when she was caught napping on her feet after an afternoon of play n the sun.   This Golden Retriever' in a horse suit is going to make someone a wonderful riding partner as well as a super companion.   She is nearly fearless, and already loves her Jolly Balls, large and small.   I'm definitely enamored.   With a pedigree that includes Rubinstein, World Cup I and Werther she will be an asset as a broodmare as well as in sport.   Perhaps this is a Keeper?

Kinnetic at 10 Days Old

Little Kinnetic (by Netto out of Donarsagan) is now 10 days old, and has begun to show all her gaits.   We are really enjoying this forward, athletic filly, while we await the birth of her Auntie Tanzer's baby any day now.
