Successful show for Josh & Thrasher 

Josh and his stallion Thrasher won Open High Point at Training Level this weekend at the Pacific Equestrian Center. Very proud of Thrasher, he has a superstar temperament.  

Super colt born by Olympic Sanceo

The fourth and final foal of the season out of Donna Eden, the maternal half sister of Iron, is by Olympic Sanceo. She carried this one herself. We named him "Undeniable CCE". We are super happy with him and can't wait to see him move. 

Fantastic colt born out of Dariska

The great mare Dariska blessed us with the most stunning colt by Le Formidable. He is a full sibling of Say La Vie CCE. We are super excited about this one! ​​

A beautiful filly by Le Formidable born!

Donna Eden combined with Le Formidable gave us another stunning foal. We called her "Under my Spell CCE". ​She and her suggogate mom are doing very well. Stay tuned for more footage. 

Four beautiful foals born on the ranch

We have been blessed with four more foals the past month: 

​

• Uncork the Bubly CCE (Ibiza x Don Schufro) - Chestnut filly of Donna Eden (ET) 

• Uber Duber CCE (Wynton x Sandor Jane) - Dark bay colt of Zephyr

• Ultima CCE (Ferdeaux x Facet) - Bay filly of Cara Mia 

• Urban Legend CCE  (Ferdeaux x Charmeur) - Black colt of Indea KS

​

They are all doing great and will soon be registered with the KWPN-NA. We plan on presenting them at our Keuring, September 17th. Some of them might be available, please inquire with Josh. 

Lovely 5-year-old gelding for sale

We are offering a really nice 5-yo gelding for sale. He is 15.2hh and we have him in training for about 8 months now. He was bred in the well-known program of Deborah Harrison (Lio Lomas Dutch Warmbloods). He loves to jump, hack out and shows three really nice comfortable gaits in dressage. Especially his canter stands out. He enjoys attention and grooming and is very beautiful too. Currently does jumping lessons with our 15yo student. He will be so much fun for his new owner! Read more about him here: OHELO. 

New colt born at the ranch

We’re very happy to welcome this beautiful bay colt to the ranch:

‘Up Up and Away CCE’. 

 

He is born via ET, by our young Oldenburg stallion Happy Al Z (H-Ekwador x Contender). The biological dam is Fiesta by Florianus II x Lemon XX. His recipient dam is Sparkplug, she is doing a great job. We expect this colt to be a very athletic jumper!

Josh is on the way back to California

After a fantastic winter season of training and showing in Ocala, Florida, Josh loaded up his three horses, his two dogs and three little sheep for the long road back to home base in Oroville.  

Black colt born: 'Undeniable CCE'

Recipient mare 'Mother Teresa' blessed us with a beautiful healthy colt by Le Formidable. She carried this baby for Donna Eden, the maternal half sister of Iron that we imported from Denmark two years ago. We're expecting two more ET foals from Donna: by Ibiza and another Le Formidable. Donna is carrying a Sanceo foal herself, due in July. 

First foal of the season: 'Up in Flames CCE'

Our very special purebred Polish Arabian mare HDC Estrella by Esperanto Pass has blessed us with a super cute chestnut filly by our Dutch Warmblood stallion Nox van Heemstate (Expression x Sirius).

Her name is Up in Flames CCE. Mom & baby are doing well and enjoy time out in the lush green grass.
