We are VERY excited to announce that we have a new mare to
add to our broodmare band!! Her name is Sonaya.
She is a half sister to our foundation mare
Golden Sunrise.
She is expected to arrive at our farm
on the 18th of November.
We plan to show Sonaya next season in dressage mainly, but
if time permits, we are considering showing her in the
jumpers as well.

pictures of the barn renovations.

We made it to the CWHBA show held at Hogendoorn Farms safe
and sound!! We couldn't have been more happy with the way
our horses behaved and showed!! The judge was International
Judge Hakon Wahldman from Finnland.
 Golden Affirmation
(pictured Left. Photo by Mike
Armstrong)
won the Free Jumping Competition,
placed 3rd in her "3 year old mares and geldings class" and
got Premium mare at her inspection! She has a busy
day and performed wonderfully!! We were very happy with her!
Golden
Sunrise won the Riding Horse
Test with a score of 7.33!! She also places 2nd in the Free
Jumping Competion (Behind her 2005 filly
Golden Affirmation)
EEF
Sampson
did not place in his very strong class of foals and
weanlings. We knew he wouldn't be competitive (being out of
the cute faze and into the awkward 'teen' faze!) but really
wanted him to go for the atmosphere. He was PERFECT the
entire time! I couldn't believe how calm he was! We got LOTS
of complements about how well behaved he was!
All in all, despite the rain, we had a
wonderful time, the horses were great as were the organizers
and volunteers!

The second time we were unable to show was today. The free
jumping competition was canceled due to lack of entries! We
were REALLY looking forward to bringing
Golden Affirmation.
Because it was canceled we decided to wait and have
Golden Affirmation
presented for approval CWHBA at the same time as the CWHBA
Breed Show held at Hogendoorn Farm.
We will be bringing
Golden
Sunrise,
Golden Affirmation
and EEF
Sampson to the show at Hogendoorn Farm on September
13th. Golden
Sunrise will partake in the performance test (under
saddle and free jumping).
Golden Affirmation
will be shown in hand and the free jumping. EEF
Sampson will be shown in hand for his first time
out! We are hoping that 3rd time is the
charm! We will make it there safe and sound and uneventful!

Golden Affirmation
is going to be competing in the free jumping competition
August 23rd in Orangeville ON. The same day she is going to
be presented at the CWHBA inspection for stud book approval.
Artist Jennifer Pratt posted a painting she has done of
EEF Sampson as a 'model' in her
"Canadian
Bred - Original Sporthorse Artwork Series".
Here is a link to the
painting.
Unfortunately
there was a death in the family so we were unable to make it to the CSHA
show. Next year we hope to
be there with the horses.
We have somewhat settled into the new
farm, the fencing is coming along nicely and we are making
plans to renovate the existing barn. Pictures will come soon
I hope!!

our new place!!
