We are really enjoying both farms, the one in Maryland and the one in Florida. The horses go south on 1 September.
Such a great visit today to see our broodmares and young stock in the care of Allie Wilcox, and for which SBS Maryland have been instrumental in their breeding and birthing.
Sonder is second generation breeding, born 2021, son of Royal Temptation and grandson of El/SPS Royal Coeur.
...
Devine Harvest, second ge station breeding g, born 2019, daughter or Premium Mare Dulce Rosa and granddaughter of Jamaica.
Jamaica was our first broodmare (mother of Donatella, Senzation and Dulce Rosa and grandmother to Devine Harvest) who we were able to buy back recently.
And Premium mare Zacklina with her first foal, a four day old filly, beginning the next generation. ❤️
We are very pleased earlier this morning to welcome a dark bay filly to Aspen Leaf Farm and need to pick out a super name for this beautiful filly.
Her sire is Friendscout and mother is Zacklina by Zack. Zacklina is a Hanoverian premium mare now and being a super first time mom.
Happy 4th of July from Mike and me, and the Aspen Leaf four legged family too!
Today is a birthday for Jackie and all her wonderful siblings. Jackie’s daughter Becky is the Giant in the photo.
Photos of the our three lovely Grand Prix horses that have been trained up since 2004 when Marne started focusing on dressage.
Dressage is a journey and most horses don’t show at Grand Prix till they are between 10-12 years old.
We are always looking for new fillies to welcome to Aspen Leaf Farm so a warm welcome to Lottie, bred by Allie Wilcox!
It is super to find such an interestingly bred filly (Kjento - Solos Landtinus - Rambo) in the US.
Our first Aspen Leaf Farm foal of the year is a stunner! Sonder is sired by Marta Kauffman’s Sondheim out of our Royal Temptation. This is our first grandchild from El/SPS Royal Coeur and what a super foal he is.
The first ride on three year old Galaxy Coeur was a very good one! He was started under saddle last month and is proving to be a very good student.
Cleo from the 6-9 month old puppy class wins her first major!
Aspen Leaf Farm horses had a good show at Lexington. Senzation and Dante’s Princess did a great job.
Photos of our homebred Dante Coeur at Grand Prix. Not many horses show at Grand Prix with their breeders.
Aspen Leaf Giants are living the good life this weekend. Here are some updates (and we very much enjoy owners of our wonderful Giants sending photos and staying in touch).
Ch Stablemasters Ambassador continues to love life in Florida and turns 9 today. Nine month old Camille is home after... winning her first major and has five CH points. And six month old Cleo has her first points going WB in her very first show as a six month old.
We welcome last evening a colt sired by Sondheim (owned by Marta Kauffman) and our Royal Temptation.
We unfortunately didn’t have a photographer at our very first show for the four horses, but two of our mares went out with Jaime Dancer with great results last weekend. Royal Temptation (Temptation - Royal Hit) did first level level and the five year old test. Lovely Leni (Livaldon - ...Floriscount) did third level and the six year old test. Hopefully this bodes well for a great show season all around!
