Our battle to get our first warmblood foal has been a long one!
We started in 2004 and it took THREE long years to get a foal on
the ground - there must have been some help from above, because
on that third year we ended up with THREE lovely babies!
We're very glad to have them and best of all - all girls!

We continue to breed high quality quarter horses and you can
have a look at our newest arrivals here as well.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

'CHARLOTTE'
(HWT Jolie Etoile)

Our Frenchman Daughter is an awesome
mix of athletic & POWERFUL playfulness.
Can't say enough good things about this
filly! Charlotte is a wonderful addition
and we are happy that we crossed Maggie,
our wonderful Draft X mare, to the refining
Frenchman, a CCI ** Event Horse with
tons of power, bravery and a show record
that proves his worth as a sire. Frenchman
is a Selle Francais stallion with wonderful
breeding & the only son of Le Tot de Semily
standing in Canada. You can check out
his page and Ruth Armstrong his talented
owner rider - Ruth events her own studs!

'LOLA'
~ HWT Essence Rare ~

Probably my favorite of all the
warmblood babies. She is by Tramino
(imported Westfalen) and by April,
my pride and joy. Lola is graceful yet
strong, has lovely conformation and a
beautiful head, and has movement that
I think you'll soon be seeing is QUITE
special! Tramino is an amazing guy and
April has talent, so I'm not surprised!
Lola is growing and by next spring
I think you'll be amazed at how she's
developing into a 'horse!' A Force to be
reckoned with, she is truly lovely & a
special girl with a fantastic FUTURE!

'VICTORIA'
~ HWT For Victory ~

Here's the filly that everyone wants!
Tory is a lovely chestnut going grey,
out of a great camp mare we had named
Folly. Like her dam, she's a large and
gentle creature, easy to deal with and
not too fussy about life in general.
Her name comes from the fact that
the year prior to her birth (and year 2
of trying for a warmblood baby) we
tragically lost the foal that Folly had
carried to term, most likely because of
Folly's age. Lucky for us, and with some
extra attention to proper nutrition, we
were blessed with one final foal from
our lovely matron, and so, victory it was!
Tory is April's half sister of course, and
I think she's going to be even quieter &
more talented than her big sister. I guess
I'm going to have to get better at jumping,
if we're going to folly in her sires' footsteps!

'FAITH'
~ MISS BELLY ACRE ~
AQHA PENDING

OK so I took a chance on color and lucked out!
South Texas Acre is a lovely Grulla cutting stallion
with a fantastic pedigree - Bob Acre Doc and Willys
Tivio babe, no strangers to cutting earnings and
great production records! We bred our 'Bellystopper'
mare Chiklet to him and got this lovely foal. While
driving to Toronto I picked out this funny name for
her which I thought was quite brilliant. It suits her
fantastic temperament (NOT) because she's quite
sweet and doesn't complain about anything. In fact
she's just a doll and she's MINE, not MATT'S and
with her lovely DUN color she's sure to turn heads.

'MIZ'
~ MS Perslickity Pistol~
AQHA PENDING

Matt picked the name not me!
Miz is a bratt and she's going
to be a great cutter because she
is SCAREY SMART (which hey,
would have been a great handle)
She's by Smart n Slick and her
dam is a Doc Per granddaughter
by Dualin Gun son of the great
Miss Silver Pistol thus the name.
She's Matt's horse now because I
am already annoyed by her pesky
nature and her ability to make my
life harder! For instance taking the
LONG way when I'm moving
her outside every morning - and
her glittering eye telling me she's
doing it ON PURPOSE just to get
me going! Now THAT'S a smart
filly and yes, I do love her - sort of!
