Upperville Horse Show:
Congratulations to Pam Martin and Padi's Classic Reunion RID
from Irish Breeze Farm on their 3rd place in the Irish Draught Hunter class at
Upperville a few weeks ago. Despite being the youngest horse in the ring,
and mud everywhere they put in a solid performance in all phases - hunter hack
including a hand gallop, over fences, conformation, and ridden assessment by a
professional rider.
5/27/09 - Fox Hollow updates
NEW PASTURE: With
the 4 mares with new foals, 2 two-year-olds, 4 yearlings (2 of whom are intact
colts), and 3 year old Ellie all on our small farm we were delighted beyond
description when our neighbor offered pasture for 3 of the mares and
foals. They are now moved and running up and down the hills and we are
finally able to rest one of our fields. Aoefe is the only one who is not
thrilled with the arrangement. She is so accustomed to having her people
at her beck and call for petting and scratching that the adjustment is taking a
little time.
Sarah is back to work full time so Jasper is back hard at work
and looking forward to several prospective buyer visits in June.

It's a boy for Incredustar (Portia). A fine chestnut colt
sired by Regalia Prince Arthur. |

The foals are coming! The foals are coming!
Regalia Prince Arthur's
first two foals raced to be the historic first arrival over the weekend with
Magrathea's strapping colt winning by a nose early this morning.
Shuttlewood Rose's filly followed a mere 25 minutes later. Both sets of
moms and babes are doing well and Diane is catching up on her sleep for the
first time in days. First photos are on the blog
- more to follow as soon as the weather improves. 4/6/09
Wow, time has sure flown
by! Can't believe it is March already. Soon the showing and
breeding seasons will again be in full swing. A few catch up notes:
The Meehans report that Mountain Pearl is in fine shape and nearly ready
for the stallion parades which start in Cavan April 2.
FIVE of the Fox Hollow mares are due to foal in April. Portia,
Maggie, and Grania are expecting Tristan's first batch of foals and Rachel
and Alanna are due with Silver Granite foals. Diane is trying to get
ahead on her sleep now!
You may have noticed the new link at the top of this page called BLOG.
Yes, Fox Hollow Sport Horses now has a blog to keep you informed of all
our goings on. Check there for more day to day type news.

Team Rooney at Bara Trac, May 2008
Carol Strank, Sarah Hauschild, and
Padi's Copper Flash (aka Rooney)
|
Our
dear friend Carol passed away over the weekend. Although we know
she is
now free of pain, enjoying the company of the critters that went before
her, our
hearts are saddened to no longer have her in our lives. Her joy at
watching Rooney
grow from a gangly youngster to a strong competitor was a pleasure for
all of us.
You are missed, lovely lady. 1/19/2009 |
