August News

Fun, fun, fun in the sun! Hot enough for you?? If it isn’t hot it is raining or both. Show season has progressed. All of the horses have tried very hard to do their very best - not always in the most inviting conditions. Nora and Bretone placed fifth in the Brentina Cup at Gladstone.

On to Grand Prix!! At their next show at King Oak they debuted at GP and won the GP Stakes. Jeanie finished her USDF Gold Medal with solid scores at King Oak on Santano and Amanta won most of her fourth level classes again. Our Hanoverian Inspection was a great time. Especially the party the night before which most people were able to make. The Bretone foals were well received and the top foal was a bay Bretone / Matcho X filly and the second placing foal was a bay Bretone / Maronjo / TB colt from Karen and Fred Clements. Six mares did the mare performance tests with some pretty high scores in the under saddle section. Eliza Rutherford brought a great "group" of mares and foals - including a super Dacaprio mare that was the under saddle champion - 8.3. Congratulations to Lori Powell of Florida who came to see her "Believe In Dreams" black Bergamon filly become reserve under saddle position with a 7.83! Not too early to start thinking about Florida.
