Porshah's New Home



Congratulations to Dawn of East Nassau New York on the purchase of Porshah. I took her across the border to meet the shipper on Monday. After we made it through customs, and seeing the vet, she was on her way to her new home with Bill Koehler, a shipper from New York. We hooked up across the street from the Federal Vet's office in Lewiston. Po took everything in stride as usual, and walked nicely onto the big trailer and proceeded to munch on hay. Dawns' facility in East Nassau looks fantastic! I've been invited to conduct a clinic at her farm in July. I'm really excited to see this farm; huge grass paddocks and a fabulous looking arena. Po will be really happy there!

We Are the Champions!


Wow! That all I can say about Allies' show at the Eastern Canadian Arabian Breeders Championships.
She proved herself in every way that she is now becoming a true sport horse Arabian!
Champion: Half-Arabian Sport Horse Mares in Hand
Champion: English Show Hack (Main Ring)
Reserve Champion: 2 year old Half-Arabian Mares and over (main ring)
Top Six: H/A Sport Horse Under Saddle
Top Six: Half-Arabian Hunter Pleasure
So if those show results were not enough, we did the dressage classes on Sunday. The chestnut princess wowed the crowds, and got some of the highest scores of the day, even in open competition.
1st: Second Level Test 4 Arabian 65.00%
1st: Third Level Test 2 68.718%
Amazing comment from the judge Elaine Potter: "Nice, really nice to see quality dressage with a high quality Arabian".
So the icing on the cake was winning a breeding to Cognac Amberfyre, a gorgeous grey purebred Arabian stallion by Hennessy.............now who to use the breeding with?
I'll post more pics especially of the stallion when JudyC sends them to me. Speaking of Judy, a huge thankyou from Allie and me for being a great groom this weekend. You were great!
