Linares was site champion at the GOV inspection at German Dressage in Encinitas.  He was really outstanding, beating 15 high quality warmblood foals for the honor!  The judges awarded him premium foal and pronounced him a stallion prospect as well.   Béchamel received the 3rd highest score from the judges, also beating several very lovely warmblood mares.   Congratulations Jeanne!

Indira and Lizzy have arrived in Los Angeles!

I had a successful trip to Germany where I saw over 40 very high quality ponies and small horses.  I bought a beautiful black Westfalen mare by Insterburg x Donnerhall, who will be shipped to America on August 1st.  Please see the sale page for more information about Indira. 

G-Man is now sold to Kara Godfrey and is gone to his new home in Idaho, where he is pampered and loved.

2006

October

Lateran and Falcor competed in the 2006 CDS/USDF Regional Championships in Los Angeles.  Both horses were stars, although not champions this year.  Lateran was 6th in the Open USDF 2nd Level Horse of the Year class and was in the top 8 in all his classes.  He was third in the USDF Breeders Championship Class behind two fantastic warmblood stallions with a score over 75%.

Falcor competed in the Futurity class and did very well in all his huge classes.  We did not place but were just out of the ribbons.  His behavior was perfect and he tried his heart out for me.  I'm so proud of both my boys.  They will both have a few weeks off and then it's back to work.

Lateran is currently ranked 23rd in the nation in the USDF 2nd Level Horse of the Year standings with an average score of 66.078%
