Remember, we do custom breedings!  Pick one of our stallions, and one of our mares, and we do all the work for you!  2007 breedings are already selling fast so please contact us as soon as possible if there is a particular cross you are interested in.  Prices are much lower when purchasing custom breedings or in utero foals and really is a great way to purchase a foal!  Also, Helca is now in foal to KG Advocate for a 2007 foal.  This foal will be registered with both the AHA and the ATA and we anticipate it to be super!  Offered for sale in utero.

A huge congratulations to the Reynolds family on the birth of their filly by Pavarotti!  The filly is out of their gorgeous Georgian Grande mare and is dark bay, with a blaze and four socks.  Wow!  We look forward to seeing pictures of the little darling and will post them as we get them!  Congrats again!!!!

06-04-06

We have a new foal!  He is a colt by our own KG Advocate, out of Aspen Dawn and was born at 10:32pm last night (wow, Windsong gave birth at 10:30pm too)! This super leggy bay colt is full brother to both Crysallis AF, and Advocate's Mahagoni AF.  He was up and running around within an hour of his birth - I am amazed at how steady he was and so sure of his surroundings!  Already very athletic and smart.  He is also offered for sale and more information is on the sales page. Here are a few pics of him - he is only two days old in these!

Also, Wisper has been sold and is in training to be started - she will be going to her new home soon!

11-22-05

She's home!!!!  Rhococco arrived safe and sound after a long day traveling.  We picked her up from the airport (she was shipped via Fed-Ex!!) and she took everything in stride.  As I saw her (for the first time in person) exit the pallet on the tarmac, I thought "I am so lucky"!!!  Her temperament is impeccable and we are so happy to spend time with her.  She is fitting in nicely (and very happy) and we just love her to pieces!  Stay tuned for more news of this exceptional filly as she grows up. :-)

10-05-05

We have decided to downsize and are having a partial dispersal sale!  Sales horse prices have been reduced and if you see something not for sale that you really like, please contact us.  Also, in-utero sales prices are reduced.  This is a great opportunity to purchase quality bloodlines at a much reduced price.

10-05-05

We just got back from showing KG Advocate at the Fiesta Del Mar Arabian Horse show!!  He did very well and is adjusting to his new trainer beautifully!  What was even more impressive is that during the 4 day show, he had to be trailered home twice to live cover one of our mares!  He can differentiate between his two important jobs, showing and breeding, and behaves like a perfect gentleman in each setting.  He is one of those rare stallions that can both breed and compete!!  Congratulations to Denise and KG Advocate for a show well done!!

03-09-05

Pavarotti became a pappa last evening!!!  His first foal of 2005 is a very large colt out of an Arabian mare.  He is black (may turn grey) with four white socks and a star.  Momma and foal are doing well.  Congratulations to the Feenstra's!!!!  The photos below were taken at 15min and 40min old.  What a beauty!!!  Thank you Linda and Jen for the photos!!

Congratulations to Crysallis AF and her owners the Feenstra's!!!  Crysallis performed wonderfully and earned the title of RESERVE CHAMPION!  She was the youngest horse in her classes.  Well done!!  I will add photos to her page as soon as they are in.

KG Advocate had an awesome warm up and his gaits, extensions and laterals couldn't have been better.  However, he became unnerved by yellow caution tape (flapping in the wind) at the end of the dressage arena and also by the tarps used to cover the fence line.  He ended up placing 5th, but this was a valuable outing to learn about horse eating construction tape! 

A special thank you goes out to all of you who came to support us and KG Advocate!

03/31/04

We've received Advocates ride times for the Fiesta Del Mar Arabian Horse Show:  his fist level, test 3 is at 3:38pm, and his first level, test 4 is at 4:14pm.  Please wish us luck!  Also, Crysallis will be showing both Frday and Sunday (at 1:00pm).  Please wish her and her owners Linda and Jennifer Feenstra the best of luck too!  We will post placings as soon as they are in!!

03/09/04

Please join us in Del Mar for the annual Fiesta Del Mar Arabian Horse Show!  KG Advocate will be showing Saturday, April 3rd, in Dressage - first level tests 3 and 4.  This will be his first show of the year.  Please wish us luck!

 His first foal, Crysallis AF, will also be there - she will be shown on Sunday, April 4th, in the Sporthorse In-Hand class by her new owners Linda and Jennifer Feenstra.  I plan to post pictures on this page after the show.  We will update this page with Advocates riding times when they come available.

More photos of Helca added.

2/18/04

It's official.  We have just purchased a lovely Trakehner mare in Germany!  Helca (by Le Duc) will remain there until she is confirmed in foal to the up and coming stallion Cadeau. I know I keep saying this, but, a special thank you to Maren Engelhardt of Trakehners International for helping to make this possible!!!! Please see the mares page for more information about Helca!!

More coming soon!!

Please check back to this page often - we will have up to date information about show schedules for our stallions, new horses added to our family, and foal births (all foals are due in April - so if this page gets rather bizarre, blame it on the lack of sleep)!!!
