Isla

We are no longer offering free shipping but have dropped Isla's price to $5000.00 Isla is a WARLANDER and registered in the WARLANDER Book of the Friesian Heritage Horse registry. Her dam Madiera is 16 hand IALHA registered purebred bay Andalusian mare and her sire is 16.2 hand Valiant. She is also DNA'D with that registry and her papers are in hand.  She is going to be tall and has amazing movement. She is a dark bay but has a good chance of throwing a black foal as her Andalusian grandsire is black. She has a current coggins and is ready to go at any time. Isla is a very sweet filly and tries hard to please. 

The Andalusian/Friesian cross is considered one of the best of the Friesian crosses and you won't find another with her quality, looks, movement and disposition for this price anywhere in the country. Isla was born May 16th, 2018. She will be able to compete in the upper levels of dressage or make her purchase price plus more back with her very first foal if you choose to breed. 

Mike went to Middle Grove to move bales in and check on the automatic waterer, took the two pictures below and emailed them to me. The horses all look fine. They were content to bask in the early morning sunshine on the side of the hill. They tolerate the cold way better than the heat.

He also checked on Sheena's leg and reported it is almost healed. We can't believe how cold it is here for this time of year. Roxanne's filly by Valiant will be 5 months old Dec 8th and needs to be weaned. The pictures below were take a couple weeks ago.  Hopefully the weather will improve soon so we can bring her home and get the weaning started. She can be a companion to Zalena's colt.  Her papers and DNA results came yesterday from Friesian Heritage Horse. Her registered name is Giselle. This purebred Friesian filly is for sale for $8000.00. What an amazing Christmas gift she would make for someone, but we don't mind if she doesn't sell though as she will be tall, has a lot of hair and can be bred to Evan at age 3.  Someone should probably snatch her up before we decide to keep her.
 She has that well set on, long arched neck too. She will be majestic when full grown. 
Valiant and Galena's automatic waterer froze up during the night. Mike is going to make sure the heater is on.  By the time I discovered it both Galena and Valiant were thirsty. I was able to get the water flowing and Galena claimed it. Each time Valiant got close, she would pin her ears and he would back right off. Galena is really showing her pregnancy, no wonder she is crabby. Ayanna, Rosalie and Indy were all laying down in the soft snow under the pavilion. I didn't have my camera with me and the phone doesn't work well in the cold so no pictures. I worked on the apartment washing all the bedding then making up the 3 beds.  Saturday morning once Lily's colt leaves I'll finish that as the guests coming are coming in late afternoon on Saturday.  It is nice to have a bathroom available for transporters.
