FOAL UPDATE

  

Our foals have started to arrive!  First was Vámonos, a gorgeous bay sabino Swedish Warmblood colt born on April 19, by the elite Hanoverian stallion, Viva Voltaire (Voltaire x Grannus x Argentinus), out of our lovely Premium buckskin Swedish mare, Clair de Lune.  Vámonos is Mr. Personality +++ and absolutely loves attention, handling and people.  If he could, he'd cuddle up on your couch!  Vámonos is for sale.

   

Our next foal was Cairo, born 16 days late on June 4.  This is Catapult's first foal from our other premium mare, Jamaica.  Catapult did have another foal born a few weeks early (the mare foaled 3 weeks early) - a gorgeous bay Swedish Warmblood x TB colt.

There is still time to submit name suggestions for our annual Name the Foal Competition.  There will be 5 winners next year that will receive a $100 Gift Certificate to a tack store of their choice.

   

STALLION UPDATE

   

Catapult (2006) has completed 3 months of professional dressage training over the winter months, and is now in full training with Grand Prix show jumper Kevin Maxie, who will hopefully take Catapult to a few Jumper Development Series (4-year-olds at 1.0m) competitions this summer.  At the training stable, he has been affectionately nicknamed "Pussycat" by his admirers due to his unflappable and gentle demeanor.  Comments from Kevin: "<Catapult> actually surprised me with his willingness and enthusiasm jumping.  This horse has no shortage of jump in him".

    

Catapult will attend the Swedish Warmblood (SWANA) stallion inspection this fall, and hopefully GOV (location dependant).  We have a limited supply of frozen semen from Catapult.  He is EVA negative, and his post-thaw progressive motility is very good at 45% (average is ~40%).  Contact us if you are interested in breeding to Catapult.  Approved mares only - please send a confirmation photo of your mare and a copy of her papers (if available).

    

We also have a new video of Medallion (2002) competing in the low jumper ring at CNE in August 2009.
