Young Horses and Foals


Welcome Azariah!

We are delighted to report that Missy, a grey TB mare (bloodlines include Danzig, Nearctic, Princequillo) delivered a beautiful colt by Cossino on May 23, 2007! Azaraiah is pictured below on his birthday. Linda, their owner from southern California, visited us last summer—here she is taking a break from riding Cossino.

Cossino Rio was inspected, approved, and branded by the Westphalian Registry on 12/14/06. We appreciated Dr. Andrea Hammett's positive and informative inspection style. Cossino Rio (aka "Caleb") is by Cossino and out of River of Dreams (Riverman/Falconet). Caleb is pictured below on his birthday with Thom, with Dr. Hammett in Dec 06 (center photo), and at age "almost 3" in Mar 08 with Vicky (right 2 photos). Learn more about the Westphalian Registry at their English-language website.

Bravo Bugatti continues to amaze us with his grace and spirit. In May 2007 he took his first steps with a rider. We have taken our time in his training and he has rewarded us with confidence and enthusiasm with his new job. He is an exquisite gelding by Bugatti Hilltop, out of our deceased mare, Rhapsody (Riverman / Churchill xx). At his Oldenburg NA inspection, Bravo Bugatti (aka "Bogey") was named Premium Foal Site Champion with an overall score of 8.3. You've come a long way, Bogey!
