Here are a few of our favorite pics of the boys at the test.

July 2009: Things continue to get more exciting... our young stallion, Fidelio, whom we just sold to Smith Green Sporthorses, was approved by the BWP! The Belgian judges were very enthusiastic about the performance of this young Torino (Heartbreaker-Cassini I) son and the proven bloodlines he has to offer to American breeders. This marks the third approved stallion for both Torino and his dam, Jete (both owned by Jump Start Farm). Congratulations to Fidelio's new owners.

Izadora won her Yearling Filly Class at her second Oregon Dressage Society USDF In-Hand Show with a score of 78.8% and is now qualified for the year-end Championships. It certainly looks like Izadora is well on her way to follow in the footsteps of her dam, Pik's Pandora, who had a very successful in-hand career. Best of luck to Jess and Izadora at the Championships!
June 2009: More exciting news from our friends. Our mares Papillon and Neah Bay have both become first-time grandmothers. The first foal for Balt'Amour, Papillon's approved son, was born at Marabet Farm. Out of Rio Grande mare, the big dark bay colt is a strong reflection of his sire's dam line and holds tremendous promise as a future hunter. His pedigree combines the top hunter sires in today's competition ring (according to USEF): Alla'Czar, Rio Grande, Accord II and Cheenook.
And not to be outdone, Neah Bay's daugher, Gemstone (v. Grand Cru) foaled a chestnut colt by the young stallion Providence for Sylvan Farm.
