The horses
Baby its cold out there. - 10 degrees at night and the ground is icy and lumpy.
Here Chic, Jolene and Play are enjoying the crisp weather.
The barn
The barn building project is moving along slowly but steadily.
The first horses have moved in already-
Progress is extra slow now while it is freezing but something happens all the time.
As the latest the eastern port was build between Christmas and New Year.

Unfortunately we lost little Dita due to a small injury on a hind leg which developed badly so we had to make the choise to put her down.
A huge loss of a great personality and a very promising foal.
May the trail rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hands.

On april 24th 2009 our barn and stables burned down.Luckily the horses were out on the pasture and the main house is still standing.The next half year will be a busy and expensive period of rebuilding so for a while the prices on the saleshorses are negotiable since we have no barn and pasture is limited due to ongoing work around the barn.
