October 2011 - Zara's breeder has sent this fantastic photo of Zara at one day old.

September 2011 - Fab has had her heartbeart scan (Wynton) and all looks good. There is an article in the latest edition of Horse International about Number 1 WBFSH ranked sire Jazz, Nico Witte, the man who discovered Jazz was asked: Who do you think will prove to be the best son of Jazz as a breeding stallion? He replied " At this moment it is Wynton, he was the winner at the stallion show, his 70 day test and up till now all his stallion competitions, and in normal sport he is scoring 70%+, he is a very talented horse. I have ten yearlings by him, all black and beautiful with unbelievable hindlegs, and an easy character".

August 2011 - Daisy Adiva has been backed. This was a super easy process, she is very intelligent, picked up everything asked of her so quickly and she impressed us all with her level head and balanced paces. She will now have the winter off to grow and develop and depending on her physical development we may aim her at the 4YO Young Horse classes in the spring. Mentally we think she is more than ready to go to parties!

June 2011 - Fahrenheydt (Fab) has been covered this month. We have chosen the KWPN champion stallion Wynton (Jazz x Matador II x Rubinstein) who has impressed us so much at the KWPN stallion show over the past few years.
