2 New Horses at Kirkridge!

Two horses now call Kirkridge home. The palomino is CCF Porshah. Po was purchased in the US for Megan and Lucy, who own Kahlua. For those who are familiar with "Po", she was originally trained by me as a 3 year old, and had a successful show season winning the H/A Sport Horse Under Saddle Junior Horse Championship in Region 18 2 years ago. Megan will be competing with Po in Dressage and Sport Horse Classes.

The lovely chestnut is Eisenstein. He is owned by the "Eisenstein Syndicate". This boy is only 3 years old and already 16 hands, He is a branded Trakehner who is 1/2 Arabian.
Garson (French for "Boy") will be competing on the H/A Arabian Sport Horse circuit as a junior horse, with hopes of taking him to the US Sport Horse Nationals in Lexington Kentucky next year.

Jensen Trailers; Sorry About the Scam Post

I put the word scam in this title so that the google search can put it on the first page to make sure everyone in the world can read the truth and not some false accusations that was innadvertently placed on my blog comments.

Apparently, someone wrote some pretty nasty stuff about Jensen trailers on my blog from 2007. Brian Jensen, owner of Jensen Trailers informed me this morning about someone's comment about his trailer sales business in Oshawa.
I have had NOTHING but great service from Brian and his staff, and have recommended his trailers to many of my clients.
Because of this situation, I have needed to close my comments on my posts, in order for this un-needed type of comment not to be repeated.
My Exiss Trailer that I purchased from Jensen Trailers has been fantastic! I love the 4 horse head to head arrangement that I am able to configure the trailer many ways. From 3 big box stalls, to loading from the back or side, to turning the trailer into a "mini" stable, tacking the horses up in cross-ties in the front area, having room for a crew of people in the middle, in the pouring rain!
I don't know what I ever did without it!
