On Saturday June 13th, Sabatini HM (Sandro Hit - SPS Pakesa) had his US Show debut.  Sabatini is 2 years old this year and was imported as a foal at his mother's side.  He showed a beautiful panther-like walk and then a powerful trot full of expression.  Sabatini was named Champion Colt and qualified for the Breeders Finals in September.  He really has matured beautifully and his owners Kerrie and Val have done a wonderful job raising him. 

 

 

On Sunday June 14th, all 3 of our 2009 foals strutted their stuff for judge Toine Hoefs from the Netherlands.  It was a very large class of quality colt foals and our boys all placed near the top.  Regalia HM won the foal class and then went on to be named Reserve Champion Colt.  Ludwig HM was only 2.5 weeks old, but he showed off his beautiful walk for an 8 and tied for 2nd place in the foal class on score.  He received the 3rd place ribbon as ties are broken by trot score and as you can imagine at 2.5 weeks, trotting on-lead was a very new concept for him.  Darshan HM followed very closely behind to place 4th.  We could not be more proud of our boys!
