We had hopped to announce that Jamaica (imported buckskin Swedish Warmblood) was successfully re-bred to Olympic Concorde (KWPN) after loosing her first pregnancy earlier this year due to some unfortunate poor veterinary services....  There is a saying that good things are worth the wait, and unfortunately, we're going to have to wait a little longer for a nice Concorde foal.  After Jamaica had lost the first pregnancy, we brought her to a new vet.  She was all set to ovulate in early July and then her follicle filled with blood.  It took another full

month before we could breed her again, now early August.  We waited with baited breath for 15 days only to get the bad news last week that she is not in foal.  So... we plan on getting her back in to shape, re-breeding her in early 2008 and showing her on the National A Circuit but this time in the Hunter ring.  This girl is so versatile and simply loves to work.  After a brief, but very successful dressage career (with 4 x firsts, 1 x second, 1 x third, and 1 x fourth placement), we'd like to see how she goes over fences.  

FARM UPDATE

We had planned on showing Olé this year in the Hunter ring but we feel that she's not quite ready yet and will continue her training until she gains the confidence needed to compete at the national level.  Olé is in foal to the gorgeous Holsteiner Hunter stallion, Cabardino.  The foal will have full papers with the American Holsteiner Horse Association (now a member of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses), is due in June 2008 and is for sale in utero.

Our palomino Anglo-Trakehner mare, Irissari, is still in foal to the Dutch stallion, Consul, and is due in May 2008.  We will be taking video footage of her soon and putting it on the website.  She is still for sale in foal and also open after she foals next year.
