I am finally getting around to updating my webpage! Hope everyone had a great holiday. We are very much looking forward to the coming show season. As some of you know, I spent the last couple of years making a few life changes (going back to school, getting a new job, etc). Now hopefully all of that work is paying off and I'll be a bit more settled and ready to hit the road again this year. Since the last time I've updated the website, we've had some "horse" changes as well. We've acquired three new mares:

First, Toandos Titwillow (1999 - Section D) came to live with us. She was bred by Marianna Avery in Washington. She is a very flashy chestnut with four white socks and a superb disposition. "Willow" is just a joy to have around and a joy to look at as well. She is very well put together and bred to perform. She's by the late *Sydenham Diplomat, a full brother to Sydenham Forget-me-Knot (whose had a VERY successful show career in the UK) and out of the late *Sydenham Morwyden. She is bred to Cairngan St. Edmund, LOM, so the foal (due in April) should be just spactacular. This foal may very well be for sale so check the sale page for details.

We also added a "grand dam" to our herd. *Scole Sally came down to live with us from snowy Montana. She is 24 years old, but you wouldn't know it just looking at her. She is the dam of Cairngan Sulien whom we sold off to a wonderful driving and show home. We are hoping that she just might be able to give us another foal or two. Only time will tell.

And finally, we added a section B mare to the herd (yes section B, our first one). *Llanarth Finch is now a member of the family. She is the sweetest pony you've ever laid eyes on and just beautiful besides. She is out of the show mare Brenob Finch (Royal Welsh winner) and of course from the very well known Llanarth Stud in Wales. She is hopefully going to become my oldest son's riding pony, but has spent the last several years as a mom.

They all join our *Parc Martha who is going strong as well. We are going to concentrate on her as our main show mare this year. All of these girls will be bred in 2007 for 2008 foals, so let me know if you might be interested in one of the foals.

Our "senior" stallion Cairngan St. Edmund is enjoying some time off. His main job this past year has been siring embryos for a research project I've been conducting at the university where I work. He is also teaching our young stallion *Llanarth Black Lion to mind his manners.

Be sure and check our "for sale" page as we have one coming three year old section D gelding that would make someone a superb performance cob.
