We are excited to welcome a new addition to our herd, Scarlett Apple. He is a 1998 Thoroughbred Gelding by Press Card out of a Val De L'Orne mare. He has previously competed at Prelim level in eventing. We look forward to working with him this winter and hope to aim him for some competitions this spring.

Catty was recently given her 5 month Rhino shot. The vet also confirmed that she is still safely in-foal. We are truly excited to see her foal by Maxamillion in the spring. Jayvyn was weaned last week and handled it very well. He is always easy to work with, and we hope to show him on the line next year.

We are very happy to report that Valen has been leased to Kianna in New Jersey. She will be competing him in the Children's Hunters. We look forward to seeing his name in show results in the near future.

Valen did very well at the Hunter Show at Frying Pan Park yesterday. He competed in Schooling Hunters, where he placed 3rd in the flat, and won both over fences classes to earn Champion. We were very pleased with this result as it was his first show in almost 6 months. We look forward to taking him to the Summerplace Farm Hunter Show on Sunday.

The BWP Keuring went really well. Ianto scored a terrific 78 in the Yearling Futurity, including receiving an amazing 18 points for his topline. Jayvyn got a great first premium score of 79. Thank you to Ralph Johnston for doing a wonderful job showing our boys, and to Anna Purdy for getting terrific photos.

Below are a few quick photos taken today of Jayvyn (Gatsby x Gottloewe), he is 7 weeks old. We are excited to see how he does at the BWP Keuring in a month. Notice in the right photo, it's a bit hard to tell, but he is already practicing pirouette. :) We need to remind him that we bred him to be a jumper.

Valen went to HITS Culpeper this past weekend and was super. He and Carolyn were Champion in the 2'9" Adult Equitation, though there were only two in the division. :-) We are planning out his schedule for the rest of the summer, and are excited to attend more shows.
