She believed she could So she did! |
|
The plan may change but the goal remains the same |
|
It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow |
|
It's about putting yourself into a situation where there's a certain amount of risk but there's a certain amount of gain |

New stallion added to my crew. IL Filou, A pure Polish Arabian. Excited! Filled out the mare nomination forms for Jenovations Joy and Toobittertotwitter July - August - September
Jenovations Joy is confirmed in foal. April - May - June
Red Savina had a colt in May named Excalibur Candour Ducal is now a gelding and for sale. Sad to say that one mare, Jenovations Joy, is no longer in foal. Vet confirmed. Disappointing...but the good news is that Joy is healthy.

Legend is fun to work with and I started working with him in January and then we have been having the most horrible February that I have ever experienced. March is when we start again....update....not March either :( Started training on Synapse and then she was sold to a wonderful family not far from me. I am looking forward to following her progress. Said good-bye to Capriole of Rosewood (aka Capri) who went to a new home

Weaning is done and all are ready for winter.
July - August - September
Had my Welsh stallion listed on the Region 17 Stallion auction and he was bid on...YAY! Also, I had a successful bid on an Arabian stallion. So, next year I will have two breedings that will be eligible for futurity nominations. Brought home a filly named Synapse that is out of my Thoroughbred mare. She is a six year old and registered part bred Welsh. Working with her so I can find a forever home for her. Also brought home a lovely Arabian mare, Jenovations Joy, that has a pedigree that I know is solid. She is a lovely bay and lucky if she is 14 HH Had mares preg checked and three are confirmed in foal. YAY!
May - June
Silver cooked her foal for 263 days. It is a beautiful Buckskin colt. Check him out here. Picked up my new Section B Welsh Stallion and I am so happy with him. He is everything I was hoping for. His name is Rhiannon's Legend and he fits right in. March - April
Fredrick has been sold and he has gone to a wonderful home. His new barn name is Frodo Fredrick, the pony, has been put up for sale. It was a tough decision. I need to do what is best for Fredrick and that is for him to go where he will be used. Have committed to buying a Section B Welsh stallion. Check him out!! January - February
Silver Fawn is looking pregnant and the rest of the crew have been just lounging for the most part. Spring is just around the corner so we are out doing some winter trail riding to start getting everyone in shape before the spring regime. Riding Fredrick the pony more and will be selling him in the spring. He is such a personable fellow and will make some young rider very happy

Silver Fawn is confirmed in foal but she is the only one. Capri didn't catch and Viny did but it was twin cells and Mother Nature absorbed it. Next year is another year. Riding Fredrick the pony now. That is pretty exciting.
June - July
Added an Arabian mare to my program - Silver Fawn and bred her to a lovely Cremello Sec. B Welsh Bred my lovely Trakehner mare, Capri, to the lovely Spanish Arabian - Daram Bred my Thoroughbred mare, Viny, to the awesome Holsteiner stallion - Aquilan Calypso
April - May So excited that my lovely Canadian mare will be going to her new home in Saskatchewan in June. A huge congratulations to Kristen and Garry of Swift Current, SK. Have started working with my young pony, Fredrick. He is so much fun and such a testy little fellow but respectful. Also, working with the lovely Arab/Welsh pony, Noble who is coming along wonderfully! Received the news that my Trakehner mare is not in foal so now the plans are in place to get her in foal this year January - March Well, it is cold and very unfriendly outside this winter. Chomping at the bit to get going on these critters.

~ 2016 ~ June - December Did a lot of fencing and got pastures divided. Horses are enjoying just being pleasure ridden and it looks like that is the plan for the rest of the year. Did get Capri bred to a Friesian in July for a June 2017 foal. Hope she carries all the way to term. Really excited about the babe. Got two Welsh cross ponies in December as a project. Lovely ponies that will be exceptional for a lucky owner when I am done May Trying to get so much done. Planning on Getting Capri ready to go for breeding to the Friesian, Zig Zag and enjoying my oldest son's company as he has decided to take up riding again. Been a few years for him, but my mare is helping him get back at it. March/April These two months kind of blended together. Nothing new at all. Just working on getting the pastures ready for summer and I am hoping it is a good year for just that. Riding and training the girls and the one young boy. Fredrick (the pony gelding) was introduced to the harness and to get ready to start some formal work. February Beautiful weather and a new addition as well as one As much as I will miss IL Taiga, I am happy to have IL Electra in her stead. Two beautiful mares out of one of my favourite stallions. Riding is happening more and events are starting to be in the foreseeable future. First up in February is the annual sleigh rally that I love to be an outrider at. Always a great way to get horses out and exposed to new things. January Well, the first month of a new year went off without any issues. Horses are happily chilling at their bales and enjoying a glorious winter of mild weather. Daylight hours are getting noticeably longer and that is always good. Wave still seems to be in foal, so that is good. All the horses have put on nice weight since I have gotten them to my own place and

~ 2015 ~ December This month my Thoroughbred, Synvella, went to a knew home. She will be cared for in great fashion. It was tough to let her go but it was a good thing for her. The rest of the crew are November Took possession of my property. The horses are thrilled to be on a pasture that hasn't been grazed in a couple of years. It took them over a week to finally pick their head up from eating. :) October Well, I decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is and bought a new piece of property for me to build on and for my horses to be in a larger area as their own herd. It was a busy month at work so not much happened with my horses. September Took WaVe to a driving show and did the two ground driving classes since she hasn't been hooked to a cart yet. Came home with 2 red ribbons but the best part was all the compliments I received August Was an uneventful month. Good in so many ways to just chill July Darn it!!! I fell in love with a Welsh grade pony. Named him Fredrick. He is absolutely adorable. He will be an awesome driving pony and a great prospect for little people to ride. He is just a yearling right now, so I have time. Yes, I said gelding. I am surprised too
WaVe has been bred to Daram at A and K Ranch. He is a scrumptious Spanish Arabian and the perfect pick for my mare's first foal. Now the wait begins. June Taiga is back at Euphoria Friesians to be rebred to Zig Zag. One more year to wait for the foal of my dreams. I know it all will be worth the wait. Took my Canadian mare to an event where we were part of a safety rider team at a trail ride. She was absolutely amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better day WaVeSunday, June 7 was a great day. I took Well, my In Hand clinic on May 30th and the Obstacle Challenge that I hosted on Sunday, May 31 was terrific! So happy with the whole weekend. May Looking forward to my In Hand clinic on May 30th. So much to share with the participants. Then, the next day will be a lot of fun for the Obstacle Challenge. Lots of people signing up. Only Wave is a fantastic mare that is keeping me on my toes. She Capri has been taken off the sales list for now. I can't tell you how much I enjoy riding her. She is so level headed and smooth. I am looking forward to advancing her saddle training. April Wave and I attended a clinic to site some progress. I think we learned a lot in more ways than expected. Capri has been listed for sale. Not a decision that was made lightly. She needs to be used more than I have the time for. She has too much potential and it kills me to see it not being developed. Taiga is not getting more round. In fact, she has lost her foal. She is alright though as she is running and bucking and kicking like a young colt. All good in my opinion. She was due June 6. One more year to wait now :) and :( March Wave was ridden out in the fields to get some miles on. We went to two wonderful sleigh rallies and she was amazing as an out rider. They were Capri made some good progress in her refreshersTaiga is just eating and getting more round. February Wave, my Canadian mare, is going to get the thrill of being put on a program for the up and coming season. March 1st is the day it all begins again. :) Very excited about getting her out to shows so that more people get to see why these Canadian horses are such a wonderful and versatile breed. January Lots of riding out in the fields (weather permitting) to keep the mares on their pleasure game. Just waiting for another month before the training regimé starts again.

~ 2014 ~ November My lovely Canadian mare went to the trainers on November 1, 2014 Working full time and getting a little older, it isn't my favourite challenge now :) Nicole at Star Walkers is a wonderful quiet rider and was an excellent choice to send "WaVe" to September I came to the June I bred my lovely Arabian mare, IL Taiga, to the beautiful Friesian stallion named Zig Zag at Euphoria Friesians. Both of these horses are conformationally correct, well bred and superb temperaments and trainability. The most important qualities that any horse I have has to be in order for me to consider offspring from them I was able to purchase a beautiful Pure Polish Arabian mare, IL Taiga, from a dear friend. This mare is especially precious to me because she is a daughter of my former Pure Polish Arabian stallion, I sold my beautiful Arabian mare, Bey Gem, to a dear friend at Off Grid Performance Horses for her teenage daughter who needed a trusting mount to grow with. It is a perfect match. |
