EM Ghranada: (Gold Luck/Armin), 2001 15.3 hd chestnut mare with LOTS of chrome!  As much as she is a lovely dressage horse, this mare also LOVES to jump!  She passed her Mare Performance Test with a 7.61. "Nada" had been shown and received dressage scores of 70% at Training Level prior to my purchase of her.  She had a beautiful colt in 2009, allowing her to achieve her elite status. After weaning the foal, she went back to work and never looked back.  At her first show since "motherhood" she scored 69.6% and was high score winner of the show, view that test below as well as a clip of her free jumping just a few days later.  Nada went to her first licensed dressage show on 9/11/10 and won her class with a fabulous 70.357%!!   Nada has completed the 2010 show season with an average score of 69.847%, won all of her classes, moved up from Training level to First Level and if not sold, will begin 2011 at Second level.    She ended the year as High Score winner at 3 shows and Reserve High Score at the last one.                                                    

and boy, have they risen to the occassion!  This team won several high score awards last winter in Florida, scores of 74+%.  Then Natalia took time out to get herself ready to ride in the Central American/Caribean Games hosted in Puerto Rico in July and she was a SUPER STAR!!  Riding for team Puerto Rico she did a fabulous job with Wilbur.  Now back from that HUGE opportunity, she has been able to apply her competitive edge on her own horses in training and it must be working.  On September 11, 2010, she took EM Ghranada into the ring for her first licensed show and won her class with a 70.357%  Then she took Dy into the ring, won her first class with a 64% and then won her musical freestyle with a 77% to wow the crowd!!!!!!!  BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU NATALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Update for 2011: Dy & Natalia continue to dominate the dressage ring for 2011! Showing in Florida this winter, again winning all of their classes show after show.  Feb. 26-27, they got the following scores: 73.429%, 75.000% and 66.905%, they received 3 tens!! Just received word that at Wellington 3/10-12/11, they had the following scores: 66%, 63% and 68%!! Dy has now earned her performance scores to gain her elite title. Congratulations again and again!!!

Congratulations to Stefanie Hamilton of Signature Sporthorses in Flowery Branch, GA!  She has owned Tiva for a few years now and blue ribbons seem to come easily!   Born on my farm in 2000, Emerald or Emma as I fondly called her was one of my favorite "kids"-so willing and easy.  Great to see how she has matured!
