Jose Jalapeno and I at the RCMP Musical Ride!

I got some fantastic news today!  I received an e-mail from the Whitemud Equine Learning Centre inviting Jose Jalapeno and I to perform at the pre-show for the RCMP Musical Ride next weekend, August 30 and 31.  Holy Hannah I can't say no to that, what a great opportunity!!!

So with just over a week to prepare, Jose and I will be performing our tricks on both days to provide entertainment and education to the public before enjoying the Musical Ride.  It's such an honour to be invited to participate, it means the world to me to be able to share my special boy in this arena. 

So much work goes into training these horses to perform and Jose loves it.  He feeds off the energy and thrives on it. 

It sounds like the Wild Pink Yonder ride will be making a trek from WELCA to the Cross Cancer Institute on the Saturday morning so we aim to be part of that as well. 

If you're interested in taking in the show, tickets are available at www.welca.ca

We're looking forward to seeing you there! 

Happy Horseing!

And Sometimes Life Happens to Good People

Unfortunately for the lovely young lady who was intent on purchasing our Jasper colt, life has happened and she is unable to commit to him at this time.  I completely respect and understand that. My first priority is our horses and would rather have them with us then sell them to a home that's just not 100% ready for them. 

So, once again, L'Image SE (LaBamba SE x DTD Fancy That) is available for purchase.  He is RPSI (can be inspected for premium status this September and branded or registered and branded next year) and can be registered with the CAHR as well.  I highly recommend both.  My asking price is $4000 CAD with both sets of papers and gelding.  Of course, the right home is my primary concern and I will happily work with the right match.

Please feel free to contact me to come out and meet our personable and handsome little man. 

Happy Horseing!

Ze Babies!

Oh look at me.  It's been a month and a half already!  And guess what??!!!  We have two beautiful, healthy, BIG colts from our mares by Ritchie. 

Fancy (DTD Fancy That) was the first to foal, about 8:30 in the afternoon July 14 she produced us a lovely bay boy with 4 socks and a big star.  His name is L'Image SE (Jasper).  I'm ecstatic that the pair actually produced more chrome than either one of them have. 
Jasper is very pretty, just like his mom, and very friendly.  He's a nibbler, but inquisitive and bold - aside from his halter.  He has a serious pout about that. 

A couple of weeks later, Bay Mare (Bardo Bay Barb) finally had her colt.  Another bay with 4 socks, this fella has a small star and a faint strip and he is TAAAALL!!  Although a little more reserved than his brother, LePremieur SE (Sullivan - Sully) is already showing he has the movement to concur any arena (or cross-country course).  We are very excited about the pair of colts and can't wait to see what's in store for next year's breedings! 

I'm very proud to announce that both colts are sold. 

We will be heading south to the RPSI inspection in Okotokes in a few weeks with the colts, their moms and Ritchie.  I can not wait to see how they score. 

Jasper says "Happy Horseing!!!"
