Winter Time at Hunter Ridge Farm

It's been awhile since I have updated the blog and so much has taken place since!
Both Sinatra Soleil and Aurelio have since gone to their new homes. They are both doing fantastic. Its very boring around HRF without them.

On a sad note, Kunstlerisch aka Sassy went to be in horsey heaven. She had coliced badly and was not able to be saved. Luckily her colt was ready to be weaned, but she was in foal to Just the Best for a 2012 foal.

October 12, 2011 Tiffany Bragg Kopp gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Kamden Robert Kopp. He was 7lbs 3 oz. The next pony rider in the making!! He already has two ponies in the barn waiting for him when he is old enough :)

Chappelle returned home from Magic Hill Farm in the beginning of December. He is going nicely under saddle. Such a great brain and so willing. He will stay in light work through the winter. He was 3rd in Zone 5 for 3 Year Old Hunter Breeding and 12th Nationally. Way to go Chappelle!

Hunter Ridge Farm has a new Broodmare that we are very excited about. Her name is Jannina. She is a Canadian Trakehner and absoluetly gorgeous. She has been shown all over and had an injury which took her out of the show ring. So she is now going to be retired as a broodmare. She will be bred this Spring to Just the Best for a 2013 foal. Such a long wait!!

Jannina


SPS Felicita will be rebred to Sinatra Song for a 2012 foal as well. The first foal from this cross, Sinatra Soleil, is an absolute doll and has the movement to boot!

Happy New Year Everyone. Hope 2012 bring happiness and joy to all of you!
