HORSE'S:  

Tiffany's True Sahara Rose

Our daughter Tiffany's has a beautiful buckskin creme American Quarter Horse filly which is pictured below.  Thank you to Wendy/Maggie for making her such a lovely filly.  Watch for her to be in the show ring in 2009.     

News:  Sahara got a BLUE (1st place) in production and went onto the State finals in Oct 2008 and finished 4th of 20 horses. 

Rich's Mystical Misty:

This is Snowdrifts Mista KingsGold,  she is a beautiful blue roan born on 5/6/04.  This Foundation Drum mare is registered with the American Drum Horse Association.  Her mother, Snowdrifts Princess Dale was bred to the registered Clydesdale, "TerraGold's King Footprint", also black and white.  King had won at the Pa Farm Show numerous times and  possessed other championships during his show career.  Sadly the Thoms lost King in January of 2004.   We couldn't have asked for a nicer girl and are very proud to have her as part of our forever family.   Misty was shown as a weanling in the Pa 4-H locals and won 1st place, progressing on to Harrisburg and acquiring 2nd in States competition.  Congratulations Amanda S. on your wins!

     Rich's Pretty Tawney Girl:

This is "Frost Sir James Emily" aka "Tawney".  She is such a wonderful horse.  She stands 16 hands and is dark bay.  She is registered Clydesdale and also Foundation Drum.  Tawney is sired by Hope Farm Sir James, who is out of Doura Enterprise and Shining Meadows Orphan Annie (who goes back to the Ogdensburg lineage).  Her dam is Mimi D'ormstown , who is out of Melbourne Red Swan and Civic Trudy D'ormstown (which again goes back to the Doura lineage). 

An example of what Tawney has produced is pictured below.  This beautiful Premuim Drum tri-colored filly, Feather Dancer, was born on June 20, 2006.    You can see more photos of Dancer as she grows up at this website:   http://www.celticcrossingsfarm.com/ccfmares/dancer/          

Tawney being ridden, just look at that mane.  It's actually longer now.

Congratulations Tawney, Kera and Megan on your recent wins at the 2009 Pa Farm Show!  Kera came in 4th in English and Megan 10th in Western.      

Rich's BIG NED:  

Anyone from beginner to experienced rider loves riding and driving Big Ned.  Above is Nicole showing him in early of 2008.   Ned has been used to teach our previous trainer Sue Moss how to drive and our daughter-in-law Vicki to ride.  He certainly did very well for both of them. 

Ned is a handsome, big-hearted blonde Belgian gelding that originally was a rescue from New Holland at maybe the age of 3 months old (he was actually taken directly from his mother at the sale).  He just loves to be in a show ring especially with his cowboy hat on.  You can see Ned at some local horse shows and the Pa Farm Show.  He is one of the greatest horses we have ever had the pleasure to work with.  Rich, you did a wonderful job with training him and you can be proud of all your work.   

The photo above is our Certified/school educated Farrier Eric putting new shoes on Big Ned.  He's not one of those fly-by-night concrete people turned farrier like another one we know too well (too late for poor Dale).  Eric did 3 of these big horses today and he's beat.  But Eric said most horses are no where near like Ned, being so good that is.  If you are interested in an excellent farrier Eric can be reached at 610-217-4369 and tell him Ned sent you.

Vicki, our daughter-in-law, won Reserve Champion the fall 2006 with Big Ned at a local riding club.  Congratulations Vicki!  Your dedication to learning how to ride has given you quite an accomplishment!    Look for her and Ned at some upcoming shows.    

Congratulations Tyson on your win at the 2009 Pa Farm Show with Big Ned.  You came out winning in Western Pleasure with the boy with less than a days notice!  You are the best!!  Thank you so much!  And we can't forget Kera and Megan.  Both these girls won with Tawney too.  What a successful year.  We are hoping to take all 3 horses for 2010. 

Our Special Angels are Dale & Heidi: Dale was our first Drum mare and Heidi our beautiful Rotti.  Dale is Misty's mother.  Dale sadly passed away January 18, 2006 at the young age of 10 yrs. and we had to put Heidi down on Feb 21, 2008.  We miss and loved them both!   

Our Friends Horses and Farm Info:   

Josh is owned by our friend Tyson.   This handsome colt was born on Easter morning 2008 to one of our past mares, Harlo.  His name is "Dakota Joshua Rocks".  He's a handsome guy with a partial blue eye who has a great personality.   Joshua is registered SSHBEA.

 Amy A. is the owner of Maggie.  She's a Thoroughbred/Walker mare that's doing well under saddle.  Good job Nicole, keep up the good work!  This has been the best she has done ever. 

Simone is a yearling filly boarded with us and owned by Larry and Olivia L.  Olivia enjoys trying to keep this gal clean too when she isn't trying to keep her school grades up.
