Our Swedish Warmblood mare, Vegas (by Vivaldi), was the 2nd Place mare in the West Region for the 2011 ISR/Oldenburg Inspection Tour. This means that out of all the mares inspected this year, she had the second highest score! In fact, her score of 109 points was only bested by 3 mares in ALL of North America this year!
Her filly is still for sale at this time and there is a very strong resemblance!
Temperatures are dropping and so are our prices! Check the Sales page for new lower prices, good for just one month only.

Ilijah attended his first show, competed at First Level, and won FIRST place! The judge rewarded him with four 8s (including his trot lengthenings). He also got many compliments from spectators and other competitors on his relaxed attitude, suppleness, and gaits. Pictures coming soon. Check the Sales page for more on Eli.
The ISR/Oldenburg Inspection was held today at Derby Farms in Woodinville, WA, and what a successful day we had! We took Blessing and Deci, along with their moms. Blessing TS was named Champion Foal for her high total score of 8.4. Vegas, our Swedish mare, needed to be inspected for entry into a mare book so she was presented along with her foal Incandescent TS (Deci). Vegas received almost entirely 8's and 7.5's for a total of 109 points and was named a Premium Mare! Deci strongly resembles her dam and was praised for her conformation and movement.
Our bay filly by Ideal out of Vegas has been named Incandescent TS, or Deci for short. Isabeau's filly by Bugatti has been named Blessing TS and we plan to keep her as a future broodmare.

Certainly Amazing is awarded Premium Foalat her ISR/Oldenburg inspection! She was 1 of only 2 foals all day to go Premium and the crowd was very appreciative of her lovely movement. She received the following scores: Conformation 8.0, Movement 8.3, Development 8.0 for a total of 8.1
July 8, 2010: Isabeau & Gauguin's Idea in 2000Isabeau is home! I picked up my newest broodmare in Portland and she made the trip home with ease. She is very calmly settling in to her new surroundings. This mare has an impressive produce record and I am pleased to say she is in foal to Bugatti Hilltop. The resulting foal will be a 3/4 sibling to the Oldenburg stallion Bravo, who was the #1 foal in North America in 2004. Look for more information coming soon to the Broodmares page...
We experienced profound loss today with the passing of the herd matriarch, 31 year old Throroughbred "Bold Event" (aka Athena). She was the reason I started breeding. She was my first Premium Mare. She was a teacher, a friend, and a lover of all babies- horse or not. She will be greatly missed.
Grace delivered a beautiful Contucci filly in the wee hours of the morning. If you like long legs and pretty faces, this is your kind of horse! She has been named Certainly Amazing.
We are excited to welcome a new broodmare! Vegas is a Swedish Warmblood by the great sire Vivaldi. She had a beautiful 2009 filly by Elite Hanoverian stallion Rapture R. She will be bred this year to the Oldenburg stallion Ideal. Pictures and bio coming soon to the Broodmares page.
With Social Graces is being bred to the legendary dressage sire Contucci. We eagerly anticipate a 2010 foal with impeccable conformation and phenomonal movement.
Ilijah began training with successful eventer Jessica Heidemann of Cain Lake Stables in Washington. She will soldify his basics in dressage and, depending on how quickly he progresses, begin his education in jumping.
On August 27, 2008 WithSocialGraces was presented to the ISR/Oldenburg Registry N.A. for entry into the mare books. The crowd gasped as she began to trot, floating past her appreciative audience. She received an 8 for walk - one of two 8's all day! She was rewarded with a total score of 102 by German judge Christian Schacht. At the end of the day he referred to her as "the mover." We can't wait to see what will result from her 2009 breeding.
