"Our
story"
and "our
Horses"
"I fell in love" at the
Draft Horse Classic in Grass Valley in 1996.
No, not a man!....but with
the most wonderful horse I had ever seen.....Don Marco,
a very special
Andalusian
stallion. He was shown
in an exhibition by David Jay.
This was the first time I had really ever seen a horse that could
" d a n c e".
I just knew I had to have a horse like him.
During the next few
years I met Tammy Mendonca who owns
Knight Invader.
Vader is gorgeous, well put together,
has big elevated movement and has the most "presence" I have
ever seen in the
Friesian world.
When people see him they have a hard time tearing
themselves
away from just looking and looking at him and
enjoying his kind,
friendly behavior......he is very, very unique and special!
Bonnie sold Don Marco to Nia Ridley of Miraval Andalusians. But, she
still owned
Impresario DW,
Don Marco's son and out of Jarana, a National Champion mare. "Imp"
is a truly wonderful horse, a perfect "Andalusian" prototype and perfect
for my dreams.
In looking at Carisma, you can see so much of the best of him in her.
I now have the best of two worlds to build my breeding
program around.
I am
breeding for
" i n d i v i d u a l s " that really
stand out in a crowd!.
That are very athletic, have lots of bone,
correct conformation, good dispositions, style and
that "one of a
kind presence" ! !
Our first addition was a mare,
Carena, now a
PRE Andalusian
born 4/17/90.
16H with extreme
action, great bone and conformation. She was
bought from Bonnie Tanner,
Dragonwood Andalusians in 1996. She has had two purebred Andalusian fillies for us. Alante HTR,
by
Don Marco, now owned by
Miraval Andalusians,
and
Carisma HTR, sired by
Impresario DW, owned
by Bud and Bonnie Tanner and is standing at
Dragonwood
Andalusians. Carisma
was sold to Charlotte and Mike Ingram
as a two year old. Alante is ours and has been a joy to
me! She is going to be bred this
coming spring to Knight Invader, a very
special and unique Friesian stallion owned by Tammy and Kevin Mendonca,
owners of
Knight Magic Farm.
Carena has had two Warlander foals by Knight Invader. The first a colt we named
"A Knight to
Remember".
and
the second was a filly, this year, named
"Lady of the Knight"
Next year it is Alante's turn!
All of my babies are going to make a name for themselves
and the crosses they come from, both
"Imp"
and
"Vader"
put so much of their style and presence in their get. These
foals/horses will be out in the
world and people will remember them for the exceptional individuals
they are. They will have the talent and athletic ability to do
almost any equestrian event and also excel in them!
