Well 2011 has certainly been a busy year already. Linda has been attending many educational events, including being a participant in the L-program. We have welcomed two beautiful foals to the farm and are gearing up for next year with one mare already in foal for 2012. We have had some highlights with excellent reports from the youngsters going undersaddle...Kerri and Sabatini HM have started to work with Michael Poulin and Kelly and Kadence HM have started to work with Bill Warren. Both Sabatini and Kadence are doing great undersaddle. Darshan HM went to his first clinic with Laura to begin learning to long-line. We are thrilled with how all of these youngsters are developing and building a partnership with their owners.
Unfortunately, we have also had some set backs...Reminisce HM was injured in a fall in April and after 7 weeks has just been cleared for light work. She will not be out showing this year as initially planned, but we are excited to start working with her again. Also, we have suffered a devastating loss on the farm with the passing of our dear mare, SPS Pakesa. She will live on through the seven beautiful, talented foals she had. We are now in the midst of raising her final foal, a beautiful filly named Dakesa, who will one day carry on this valuable mareline for us.
