Aubrie and
Chickadee (3/09)
Just wanted to share these pictures with you
all. Aubrie rode Chick for the first time today...Chick is due to foal the
end of April. She has not been exercising herself enough so we decided to resume
riding her to keep her from getting even heavier than she is right now. I rode
Chick every day for the last week and she has been so good, so I put Aubrie on
her and Chick seemed to enjoy carrying a "light weight" around the arena.

Blessing of the
Hounds (3/09)
Update on Foothills
Juniper (Balmullo's Beacon x Blue Hills Morning Star) and Arbor Lane's Conor (*Gun Smoke x Hattie
Beleau(TB)) Highlight this winter was taking Laura for his first hunt first
flight with the Woodford Hounds. It was a cold but lovely day for the
blessing and we had a lively hunt with beautiful scenery at Shaker Village in
KY. Juniper took good care of the kid even though she is hardly a kid
anymore as she is off to college in the fall. Though you might enjoy these
fotos. Marion
Fiona's eventing
pics (3/09)
Becky, my trainer, thinks the last
couple of pics from cross country are hilarious! She said the look on my
face is that of a kid in a candy store with the huge beaming smile! I just
couldn't help it! It looks like Fiona (Black Dog's
Fiona by *Gun Smoke) is having a good time,
too!

Note from
Pennsylvania (2/09)
Just to let you
know, my *Gun Smoke
filly (Kynynmont Kerrianna), who is now 3-1/2, is
turning out to be fabulous. I had her started by my (gentle) cowboy, and
have started riding her myself recently. She is lovely. Nice
disposition, very solidly put together, and fabulous movement. I am really
excited about her. Pam Liddell
Note from South
Carolina (2/09)
Thanks for
keeping up with me and Britta (by Balmullo's
Beacon ).
She is being leased by a rather talented kid that rides with me and really doing
well going to combined tests and schooling horse trials. If I were wealthy Ii'd
keep her as my exclusive hunt pony because she locked in and is the most
instinctive hunter I've ever ridden. I guess like the fetch in a labrador its
bred in there what fun... Piedmont Palmettto (by
Balmullo's Beacon) is very special also. He's 16 hands and balanced.
Has only bopped around the farm with other horses at this point but really likes
that. Mary Hughs
Note from West
Virginia (2/09)
Sophy (Foothills Smokey Bay) continues to
be such a light in my life, I just love her. I'll get some recent pics of
her to you soon. Megan Buchanan thinks she is very typey and a wonderful
*Gun Smoke
daughter! ...I think she is probably going to be quiet enough for Maisie
to show in a year or two, at least that's my plan. I need to measure her
but she's definitely pony height, in fact I'd be surprised if she measures over
