News From LWF Sport Horses

Penelope - Premium Filly and her dam, Wienna

We have been very busy this year with new foals, breeding, clinics and shows.  I will be posting on everything over the next few weeks, but right now, here is a quick overview.

We had three new foals in April and May and the ISR/Oldenburg inspection was held in June along with  a clinic on Free Jumping with Christian Schacht.  It was very successful with the two fillies receiving Premium and the colt a score of 7.9.  We now have mares by Patrick that are old enough to be approved for breeding and we got our first Premium Mare with Petite Belle!

We have attended several Hunter/Jumper and Dressage shows starting in March with much success.  We have lots more blue ribbons and Championships that I will talk about in the future.  We have been showing three of Patrick's 3 year olds and it has been going great.  It has been great experience for all of us including the horses.

We have a clinic coming up in August that I am very excited about with Jos Sevriens.  He presented a clinic called "Develop Your Eye" at our farm in May the evening before a USDF Breed Show where he was the judge.  He taught about the conformation of a dressage horse and what the judges are looking for and why.  It was extremely educational and our colt was born during the clinic!

The clinic in August will be a Dressage Clinic for riders.  Mr. Sevriens has a lot of experience riding and training in Dressage as well as Eventing and Jumping.  He is originally from Holland and trained with the top riders in that country and he is now located in Georgia.  Here is a file with more information and an application if you are interested.

Please notice a few changes on this blog - we now have a new page - Horses for Sale - where I have ads for horses at our farm that are for sale.  I will be adding more, so check back often.
