Tanzer Becomes a 'Working Mother'

Always the good soul, Tanzer proved to us again what a fabulous nature she has when she went back under saddle, baby in tow.   6 Week old Reisa took just a few minutes learning the ropes while Tanzer adjusted patiently to working with her baby beside, and occasionally on TOP of her!    A few milk breaks, and the pair were like old pros.  

The exercise was as rewarding for the humans as the horses, and will no doubt build even more confidence in the already bold and friendly Reisa.  As for Tanzer, well, a few months of maternity leave on clover and like all mothers she is looking forward to getting back her 'girlish figure.'

Kaareltje's First-born Enters the Eventing Spotlight

Kastiana Sahal is our first Katje baby, and she was a huge girl with a huge heart from her first moments.  Now over 17.3 hands I was skeptical when this big girl entered the eventing arena.  Her dam Wrave has amazing jumping aptitude, but as the offspring of a Dutch Harness type sire we wondered if she had the ability to conquer those big, solid fences.   No question about it now!   Under her owner/rider Jamie she has flourished, and the two just completed their second Training level event.   There is no greater pleasure than watching our offspring mature and succeed and knowing they are bringing joy to their owners.   Congratulations Anna and Jamie.  This is just the beginning for you both!
