Waloon, an 8 year old Hanoverian gelding by Wolkenstein 11. Waloon is being ridden in a lesson here by Juan Carlos Salazar, a student from Bogota, Columbia who spent 3 weeks with us this summer,2007. Waloon belongs to Sarah and Clayton. Sent to Sarah to be sold by Leslie Morse, Waloon had some issues that caused Sarah to want to keep him and give him the slow and detailed start to his training he clearly needed. Often referring to him as her "special needs child" Sarah shows Waloon under the name My Red Road.

What Sarah says about Waloon:
"Originally I intended to give him some time and then sell him, however he has a natural talent for dressage, especially piaffe and passage, that keeps me hanging on."

 

 

"Bapolita" is a Dutch filly who is a great grand daughter of Kyra Kyrklund's great Olympic partner Matador, arrived at our farm in December of 2006.

 

This is Bapolita- known around the barn as "Baby Belle"- on her way to winning the Overall Grand Champion at the Paragon Sporthorse Show at High Prairie in August 2007.

What Clayton has to say about Belle:
"This is the nicest young horse we have had so far- and we have shown many Cosequin Region 5 Champions before this."
