Four Year Old Century Hills Taylor Maide along with her pasture mate Premium Mare Glenormiston Amelia attended the 1st Annual Oldenburg Horse Breeders Show and Performance Test where Taylor was awarded the prestigious title “Special Premium”.

Three “9’s” For Eclipse!

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:27:03 PDT

Max and I had an outstanding show this past weekend in Lodi, at Dressage In the Almonds. Eclipse was the First Level A/A Champion Scoring a 68.57 % at 1st level test 3 and a 69.737 % at 1st Level Test 4 with THREE “9’s” awarded for his Trot Lengthenings over both tests. Eclipse received a 50lb bag of Safe Choice, A Bag of Treats (Which we put to good use!), Two Etched Glasses, Two Wonderful Mugs and a hand drawn Pastel Portrait of our Special Pony Eclipse! Eclipse is Qualified and is expected to Attend:
Great American/USDF REGION 7
CHAMPIONSHIPS
CDS 42nd ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

Murieta Equestrian Center, Rancho Murieta, CA

Jack and I also had a super show Scoring a 64.8 % at Training 3 and a super 67.2 % at Training Four to place second in both our classes. I was delighted with my young lads effort as he is just four years old and in his first season of showing.

APPROVED! WESER EMS!

Bright and Early this past Monday Max and I loaded up our girls ACPS Premium Mare *Glenormiston Amelia and ACPS Premium Mare Candidate Century Hills Taylor Maide and attended the German Oldenburg Verbands Breed Inspection. We presented both girls for Weser Ems (German Riding Pony) inspection and both girls were approved with flying colors. I was especially pleased for our senior mare Amelia as she is now working on her eighth Purebred Foal, due March 2010. Interestingly our Taylor Maide is the 2nd Generation from her female family to be approved for Weser Ems/German Riding Pony as her mother the beautiful imported *Eastlands Glendearg is also Weser Ems. Century Hills Taylor Maide is confirmed in foal to our Premium Stallion Wildwych Eclipse* for March 2010.

REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 16:27:34 PDT

Our Stallion Wildwych Eclipse along with our four year homebred R. Cracker Jack attended the California Dressage Society Regional Championship over the weekend of July 18-19th. This annual Championship competition was held at the fabulous Webb Ranch in Menlo Park, CA. Eclipse qualified to participate last season while competing as a five year old at 1st level. Much to our surprise and delight Eclipse was the ONLY PONY (all 14.1 HH of him) of any breed to qualify and compete at this level, in fact we were the ONLY PONIES to compete in the entire show. My young R. Cracker Jack held up his end taking 3rd and Fourth at Training Level Test 3 and 4--he was pretty much flying solo on his second outing as the extreme heat just about had me under!

A FROZEN “E” BABY!

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:59:05 PDT

We had a most interesting request from one of our clients and wanted to share that Eclipse has successfully sired his first frozen embryo! Thats right an equine embryo has been successfully harvested from the mare. Considering how rare the use of ET is in the Connemara Breed, we think its outstanding that Eclipse has been chosen to be the proud poppa of what hopefully will be multiple full siblings. We wish our client every success in this endeavor! Absolutely fascinating!

Summer Moon Horse Trials

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:48:02 PDT

Eclipse and Amanda placed 2nd/11 at Summer Moon Horse Trials over the weekend of July 24th. It was a super go for Eclipse and his partner Amanda Volle of Auburn, CA. This is Eclipse third time out at Training Level and placing both 2nd and 3rd on his most recent outings. It was such fun to watch the pair working and we look forwards to their future success with great anticipation!

Teachers Pet

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:13:58 PDT

Six year old Wildwych Eclipse attended the Jimmy Woofard cross country clinic held at EA Horsepark over the weekend of July 10th though the 12th. Eclipse was both an absolute model citizen even giving some leads to other participants at the more challenging questions. Mr. Woofard, a three time Olympian had nothing but the highest praise for our young lad and as you can see our boy was most definitely teacher’s pet (in the photo above is Eclipse with Jimmy Woofard). Mr. Woofard even thought he’d like an Eclipse for his two grand children....now that IS saying something!
