UPDATE ON ALEXIS AND ANGELO (NOW CAPTIN)
Karen, Michael and Sylvia,
They are wonderful!
Everyone thinks they are beautiful. Captain is being very sweet I am sure that he remembers me from your house.
We did have a few flies so I used a little fly spray and that seemed to help a lot. Lexi and Captain both did pretty well with the spray - you can tell they have been exposed to so many different experiences that they take new experiences in stride.
Thank you for sending the hay. I told Rob this morning that I should have asked you if we could have a bale or two of hay so that there wouldn't be too many changes on the same day for the weanlings... and here they showed up with 2 bales of Hay!
Lexi and Captain are staying very close to one another and I am glad they have each other. They both watched your dad and your trailer drive away and they watched for a long time (they could still see it about a mile away) I am amazed at how sensitive and intelligent they are. Our vet was really impressed with both foals. She thought they were both beautiful, healthy and well behaved. She was impressed with your records and said your worming and vaccination scheduling was very appropriate.
I will send pictures later - thank you for raising such great youngsters and for allowing us to be involved with them while they were still at your house.
-Heidi
Update 7/27/2009: Captain and Lexi are doing great! They both weigh 700+ lbs and we are sure that Lexi has hit the 15 hands mark as her back is level or a little higher than our 15 hand mare.
Captain is now a gelding -it was a good move. He is VERY respectful and already more focused on pleasing us during groundwork. I have some amazing pictures of him with a saddle blanket on and being sacked out with a plastic bag on a stick. He remembers his lessons. He is definitely heavier bodied than Lexi. His mane and tail are thick and his forelock is way past his eyes. He has this beautiful curve to his neck.
Lexi is tall and elegant. She absolutely LOVES being groomed and being with us. We joke that she must be part giraffe as her legs are so long and straight and when we groom her she does this cute stretch with her neck and upper lip. Her beautiful flowing trot, however, is not the least bit giraffe-like. I can fly spray her and pick up her feet without a halter. We are having to work with her a little bit more with being respectful as we think she thinks that people are just strange looking horses (that scratch her and give her treats).
Thanks again,
Heidi and Rob
UPDATE ON ZHIVAGO
UPDATE:
Knight arrived safe and sound at 1 am. Kept the tennis court lights on and so he and Camille could explore their new home. They are grazing and playing. Easy to catch when I have a horsey peppermint in my hand. He is really something. will send pics soon.

Neo, changed to fly
2005, Georgian Grande Colt
Dam: Rococo Spots (ASHA)
Sire: Zubin (Fhana)
Nov 2005: As usual, Fly is awesome!!!! I'm more and more impressed/thrilled with him everyday and I really think he's going to surpass all of my hopes for the "perfect" horse. And I'm not just "bragging" because I'm his "mom"...Of course, he's still gorgeous and huge, but the very best thing about him is his attitude. He remains the curious, brave, friendly, people-oriented, sweet, gentle, smart/brilliant horse that he was the first minute I met him. Just before it started raining so much, we were working on lunging and things we'd do in a halter/showmanship class. He's such a smart horse that I usually only have to show him something about 3 times before he consistently does what I want.
Even though he's still a "baby" and likes to play when we're supposed to be working, he has a remarkable degree of patience and settles down to work quickly. He's the only horse I've ever had that practically puts his halter on for you so he can go to "school" (as I call it). I rarely have to scold him or get after him for anything (especially now that he's learned people aren't quite the same as horses and we should keep our teeth off of them at all costs!) and when he does get in trouble, he's very good about it -- he doesn't get mad or sulk, and he usually stops whatever it is and rarely does it again, which means he only has to be told not to do something once or twice. I always considered myself lucky to find him in the first place, but everyday that I work with him, it's just like a dream come true!

Appollo In Color
2006, Georgian Grande Colt
Dam: Moonlight Jasmine (ASHA)
Sire: Zubin (Fhana)
Congratulations Dianne in OR.
SOLD
Sept 2007: Here's an update on Appollo. He's a year old now and starting to grow tall. He's enjoying being in pasture with his buddies every day and in a stall at night. This summer a high school girl played with him everyday. He ties, he carries some equipment, he ponies on the trail going over bridges and through water, and he has great ground manners. He's a favorite on the farm.
March 2009. This week Appollo took his first adventure in the round pen under saddle. He acted like a pro. The past few months of sacking him out, ground driving, ponying him, and playing with him really paid off. He's a joy. I'm very excited to see how he does in dressage next year.
Thank you so much for letting Leonardo (now Brody) come live with us. He came home from the boarding stable a week and a half ago and is the sweetest colt we’ve ever seen. He has integrated himself into his new, and unconventional, herd just fine. He’s not at the top of the pecking order, as you can see from the photos he’s been put in his place by the llamas and alpacas. He deals with their spit with grace and humility. Leonardo has proven to be a very smart horse as well as amazingly calm. He picks up on cues and learns very quickly. This is one wonderful boy. Kari and Ray Ramadorai
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that WD is the absolute light of my life.
She is amazingly social and LOVES attention. She has actually left her grain at times just to be with me and get her favorite 'scritches'. A few stray white hairs have popped out, but very minimal. She is absolutely beautiful and her feathers are already longer than I ever dreamed they would be. As for her personality, besides being very people oriented, she is very calm about everything. I have a garden hose I walk out into the pasture with and I can rub it all over her and it never phases her. Everything new that I introduce she calmly accepts. I have never owned a horse with such a sweet and calm personality and she truly is a delight. Whenever she hears me driving by, she always watches to see if I'm going to stop. If I'm in the RTV she runs over from wherever she is in the pasture and follows me.
Just wanted to let you know she is doing beautifully and I couldn't be happier. Will try to get you some pictures once she's thru shedding out.

Unborn 2010 Purebred Friesian foals
This is a georgeous filly that will be an eye catcher in any barn. Autumn Dancer is very gentle and showy, should make a great all round horse dressage, jumping, trail, or driving. Offered previously on payments and it didn't work out so this time cash / credit cards only. Can deliver within a days drive for gas money. Our other 2009 foals that we offered for sale have moved to their new homes so Autumn is priced to sell before winter but offered to a loving home only.
Autumn's Dam, Turn the Page, is one of the few old fashioned, baroque type Saddlebred remaining today. Producing more baroque type Saddlebreds is one of the foundation ideas behind the start of the Georgian Grande breed. Page is bloodtested homozygous tobiano. She has incredible bone and produces tall, impressive offspring. She has impressive bloodlines and is a Modern Kalarama daughter. Page is an extremely gentle natured broodmare, she is very easy to work with and her foals are a dream to train.

We love the horse we named him Wyatt. My husband is having to share with our 11 yr old daughter she refers to him as their horse. He follows everyone around like a puppy dog. He's not sure what to think about the wild turkeys it's fun to watch him every morning. When my nieces and nephews come over and play he watches them and acts like he's waiting for them to come and let him out so he can play to Anyways what I really want to say is thanks we love our new addition.
