Laura arrived tonight from Holland!!! It was a very late night at the airport
and she is now in quarantine for awhile until we can have her at home. She is a
phenomenal mare in every way and we couldn't be happier with her. Another Thank-you
to Janko at the VDL for finding us this great Keur Elite mare that is proven in sport and
breeding (and is in foal to Flemmingh!!!).

Jennifer just completed a course one Biomechanics, Applied
Anatomy and Gait Analysis with Dr. Hilary
Clayton, internationally renowned biomechanics specialist. The course covered conformation
evaluation as it applies to biomechanics, angle measurement, structure and function of the
forelimb and hindlimb, the stay apparatus, and video analysis of movement. The expertise
of Dr. Clayton ensured this to be one of the most significant courses in order to truly
understand the horse. Dr. Clayton has done some incredible studies that give
excellent insights of the horse (and the rider!).

Our filly Kajun Queen K has been sold to Sabrina Nobbs from Vancouver Island in
BC. Kajun is an incredible filly by Popeye K and we hope Sabrina all the best with
her in the future.
We are very excited about our purchase of a gelding by the stallion Wallenstein as a
competition horse. Whiskey Jack is a gorgeous dark brown
17.3hh Warmblood gelding who is a solid 3rd level dressage. Has scored in the 70's in
dressage and also has won in jumping up to 3'9 courses and medal classes.

It has been an exciting past few weeks for us. Jason took a trip to the
Netherlands and visited the van der Lageweg family (VDL Stud). We were very lucky to
purchase an Keur Elite Sport Dressuur mare by Wellington. Laura is trained and
competing at Z2 in Holland and she will be Jennifer's new dressage mount after she foals
her fabulous Flemmingh foal next year. Laura has had one other foal in Holland that
is already a Ster mare. We are very excited about this mare because she is proven in
sport and breeding. She will be coming to Canada in a few weeks.

Saralaida, our Irish Thoroughbred mare, left for her new home in the much warmer
New Hampshire. She has a long trip ahead of her but I am sure she will enjoy
her new home at LaddBrook Farms. LaddBrook breeds Irish Draught and Sport horses and
stands the incredible imported Irish Draught Stallion, Cradilo.

Warmblood colt, Flash Dance, up for sale on the sales page.

With next years coming foals we have decided to reduce and negotiate our prices

Cheval aka 'Hershey' was very successful at his Oldenburg Inspection today.
We decided to wait to brand him until next year because they are using a different
brand this year and the new brand will be used next year. We have updated our Sales
page with new pictures of him.
