2007 has been an incredibly busy and productive year. The back 10 acres have been fenced and we are THRILLED to have many green pastures for our precious horses to run as God intended them! We are proud of this alone!

We are oh-so thrilled with the successes of our previous “STLA” members. They have accumulated more wins and accolades then we could have ever imagined. Our firstborn (STLA Bey Shahzzam aka Sammy) was Top 10 (unanimous 3rd) at the Canadian Nationals in his Futurity, and Top 10 (3rd overall—1st on one card) in his Open halter. Our beautiful STLA Fondallionce was Champion Region 17 Sweepstakes filly, Top 5 at Region 5, and Champion Western Canadian Breeder’s HA Filly and Champion Futurity Filly! What a year…amazing, thrilling and very impressive!

Color Me FameOus LRA’s new owner, Kineesha, is going great guns with her new mount. She looks so good aboard, and she is enjoying her little Zeus filly, KO Can’t Touch This, aka “Boots”. Cute, cute filly, and extremely intelligent. She will keep Kineesha on her toes! Their recent purchase from us of SCFortune Cookie, and her foal by Flash has proven to be a valuable! What a gorgeous little pinto colt; loooonnng legs and extremely typey head! They are hoping to take him on the trip to Scottsdale this coming Spring! Big plans they have; we LOVE it.

We are astounded at the dedication of everyone with their horses. Brenda Driediger stands out when we voice this, as she is an incredibly talented, dedicated and gifted individual when it comes to the equine world. She is certainly someone I would love to be able to spend more time with “picking her brain”. This talent needs to be shared, Miss Brenda!

The most comforting part of our “job” with our horses is seeing the outstanding homes they are going to! This again is evident with STLA Bey Shahzzam aka “Sammy” with the Frew’s, Color Me FameOus LRA aka “Flash” with the Steunenberg’s, STLA Fondallionce aka “Fancy” with the Miller’s, STLA Priceless Fortune aka “Tiffany” with the Cooper’s, SCFortune Cookie aka “Cookie”, and Baloo Berry Hill aka “Gonzo” with Candice Price. They are some lucky horses to be so loved and cherished.

We have an extremely busy spring coming up! We are expecting many quality foals by stallions we never imagined being able to produce with…

- Magnum Psyche X DS Major Afire mare due February

Zeus has been producing some amazing foals! For testimony of this, please stop by for a visit at our farm, or check out Kathy Ferguson’s purebred colt at her farm, RK Arabians. He is lovely. We are honoured to own Zeus. He will be competing under saddle this coming year.

Next year will be a step up for us. We are hoping to dedicate more of our energies to our passion; these incredible animals. They deserve our time and commitment as they have brought so much to us!

We couldn't be prouder of their successes.

CONGRATULATIONS to c Our Zeus, (click image to enlarge) who was awarded RESERVE CANADIAN BREEDER'S CHAMPION STALLION; missed the Champion by ONE POINT! His total score was 118! You're a LOT of people's CHAMPION, Zeus. A special thank you to Brenda Driediger for an outstanding job handling him.

ANOTHER BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO STLA Fondallionce, (click image to enlarge) who was awarded CHAMPION CANADIAN BREEDER'S HALF ARABIAN FILLY AND CANADIAN BREEDER'S HALF ARABIAN FILLY FUTURITY!!!! We are thrilled for new owners Gabby, Linda & John Miller, who believed in her and us. We couldn't be happier for this wonderful family. She's got a long and successful career ahead of her. She is now Regional bound!!!!

We need to thank a VERY special person, and his entourage…Dr. Juan Samper (You Rock!) and all of your employees, and the extra special “sunshine girl”, Shelley Fraser. You have contributed to our success more than we could ever express; THANK YOU for your dedication to your craft, your professionalism, and most of all, your sense of humour. We are in awe of all you do, how you do it, and ALWAYS getting it done. It helps us challenge ourselves to be the best at what we believe in. We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.

On that note, we are again ecstatic to announce the positive pregnancy checks on our first two breedings this season; Our precious MA Hearts A Fire is INDEED in foal to Mariachi WA!!! And our equally precious AB Fahrenheit is also carrying a little The Color of Fame progeny! Rah, rah, rah; Gooooo TEAM!

Congratulations to a previous STLA member, Color Me FameOus LRA (aka “Flash”), Kineesha, Daniel & Brenda, and Excelsior Stables, for their success at his first show under saddle. “Flash” took home the Champion Half Arabian Hunter Pleasure Junior Horseaward. What an accolade for any young horse (with about 90 days under saddle!) This is just the beginning for this stunning young boy.

Congratulations to another previous STLA member, STLA Bey Shahzzam (aka “Sammy”), and his owner, Leah (and Dawn & Roger), for their Champion Half Arabian Gelding Open (he’s only 3!!!) at the same show! We knew you could do it, Leah; we certainly wouldn’t know (if we didn’t know) you weren’t a “pro”!!!

Congratulations to yet one more previous STLA member, Baloo Berry Hill (aka “Gonzo”), and Candice, for his success at his first show, also! He was STUNNING and was such a well-behaved boy!

Congratulations to our amazing stallion, c Our Zeus, and Brenda Driediger for the Champion Stallion award. He is such a breathtaking sight when he enters the ring, so full of himself, such a commanding presence. There is a buzz around about our magnificent boy!!!

We are VERY proud of ALL FOUR HORSES and equally proud of their fantastic and loving new owners!!! You are doing them justice.
