Email from Debbie and Rufus (purchased through us years ago, now turning 15 this year): "He is still doing great, showing and placing first. He is a sweetie pie, a snuggler, and loves the work --he thinks it is play. He will talk your head off, too. Thanks again. We think about you often. Rufus loves Texas"

'Dear Kareen,
I am over the moon... Daijiro rocks! A cooperator, a heartbreaker - simply a super horse. He has adjusted himself great and is feeling evidently well. Yesterday we have taken a break from riding and took a 1.5h walk. He is working better day by day and is a blast!
With warm regards
Tanja'

Email from Jil and Wally:
Hi Kareen!!
Corey and Clare said I should forward a couple of current pictures of Wally the Wonder Horse and myself. The oxer is our first round at 1.30m, which actually went pretty well! We just did the year end Jr/Amateur Owner Jumper Finals in the indoor arena (after riding outside all summer) at 1.30m also... and ended up 4th! He is just the best horse ever - I feel like I can jump anything with him and he has been very patient with me. I can't believe what I am doing sometimes. The other shot shows him all braided up, pretending to be a hunter, for one of the Hunter Derbies we have over here... 4' hunter course with natural obstacles and very unusual jumps. He jumped around just like a hunter and never blinked at jumps that had a lot of horses stopping dead in their tracks.
I rode in a George Morris clinic and he wanted to take Wally home - he actually got on and jumped him which I don't think happens very often any more! I have been riding with Greg Best (he rode Gem Twist) as well and he likes Wally a lot! He actually had us jumping a 4'6" course!
Best decision I ever made! :) Thanks again!
My best to you and your family,
Jil Edwards

This was ELY's FIRST Show and I will tell you he was a Super Star! Both ELY and I could not have done what he did yesterday without Maureen's unyielding patience and focus. YOU ROCK, Maureen!!! ELY got both a score of 60 (in his first test - got a WHITE Ribbon;Fourth Place) and a 68 (BLUE Ribbon; First Palce) in his second test. It turned out that ELY and I WON a HIGH SCORE / Best in Show BLUE Ribbon!! Imagine??!!
I can not begin to tell all of you how proud I am of ELY and Maureen. It was an Awesome feeling to be handed two BLUE Ribbons and a WHITE!!
Kareen, I hope you get this e-mail as I thought that you would be thrilled to see how beautiful a horse (Early Bird ELY) grew up to be. He looks a lot like his Papa, Ex Libres! It seems that he LOVES to show. Perhaps, he loves more all of the lovin' he gets while at the show! Please tell his breeder what a wonderful partner and companion he has become for me. I LOVE him to peices! I think you can see for yourself! I am VERY PROUD of ELY. He is sweet, gentle, patient (for the most part...) and incredibly handsome. I look forward to the many more shows he and I will be in!'

News from
Whistlejacket, aka Weinrot
:
Dear Kareen,
It seems to me that it's a long time you haven't heard from me and Whistle. So now I can give you some great news. Whistle is working with two riders (a professional and an amateur) since november to help me. Indeed despite of my quite high level (galop 7), I need help to make everything good. Furthermore, I haven't enough time. As you can see on pictures, Whistle has an interessant potentiel. The weather was this day absolutly awfull : rain, wind and cold !! Whistle was very brave and behaved nicely !!! (It was so rainy that her color has changed !!) The goal for this year is to bring Whistle to Fontainebleau in September where all the best young horses all over France come if they are qualified of course.
On sunday, the competition was for every horses (not specificly the youngs one). The high of fences was 1m05 (against 80 cm on friday). Whistle did it quite well. This competition was for her training only.
Whistle continue to dispay her wonderfull work ethic : I'm proud of her.Congratulations for the new born horses in your barn !!!
I hope that all your little family is going well.
Warm regards to you and Frank, and thank you again for my wonderfull horse that I love so much !!!

Just a quick note to hope you, the family and all the horses are well and to say that Diaghilev competed in his first major Affiliated competition last week.
It was the biggest venue either of us has ever been to and despite tractors, marquees, noise, crashes and bangs he rode round like a school master and won both his classes gaining 65% and 67% and qualifying us for the Regional Championships in February.
I was so very very proud of my boy and cannot believe how good he was and just wanted to write to tell you.'
