Looking back at 2010

The end of 2010 is here and we look forward to the breeding season of 2011. Denlore's Desert Storm is going to be twenty years old this year and we are looking at breeding several mares to him. He's getting up there in age and we love his foals. All of them have been easy to train and work with and when they have gone to new homes their owners have been able to continue on with their training by themselves.
The Morgan Horse is a wonderful animal all on it's own and when you get a stallion that is a special as Storm has been, it is just frosting on the cake.
Besides loving the breed we also love the history. The Morgan is truly America's first breed of horse and as far as I'm concerned, the best. Morgans excel in jumping, endurance, saddleseat, hunt seat, western, driving and make wonderful trail horses. They love people and are great children horses.
If you want a horse that can do it all and be your best friend as well, own a Morgan Horse!

Excellent Summer!

We had a great summer. It's been sunny and warm most days this summer and it's been one of the best I can remember.
We have collected several out side studs this summer and photographed some wonderful horse shows. We found a wonderful home for our twenty three year old mare and go into winter with only three of our own horses. With this questionable economy at hand, we are in a great position to continue our breeding program when the future looks a little better.
In the mean time we will work with the Morgan horses we have to further their education.

As The Summer Goes On!

We have collected several outside studs as well as a collection on our stallion Denlore's Desert Storm. We are not sure however if we will end up breeding any mares this year. Our mare is old and she has not been easy to read while in heat. This tells me that at age twenty three, that her days as a baby maker have come to a close. We need to find a nice home for her to serve out the rest of her life.
We have also concluded that with the economy the way it is, that a year away from breeding a mare might be a good decision since holding on to foals does not make you money. We have a very nice yearling to sell and we should get him going well and sell him before any more foals are made.
We will next year however get our four year old started on collecting him on the phantom and maybe get his first foal on the ground at that time. I will keep you informed to whats going on if things change.

Breeding Time Has Come

Precious is in heat but we will wait one more heat before we breed her. We will collect Storm to keep him cleaned out but living here in Vermont our Aprils can be cold and snowy so we will wait one more heat to breed.
Gaetano is home but I have not had the time to work with him as I should be doing but his rest will be over shortly. Summers in Vermont are not long enough with stalls, turn out, training, breeding, wood and hay but we always manage to get it all done.
The Morgan Horse is a wonderful breed and no where will you find a horse that is more willing and can do it all.

This is the weekend.

Well Denlores Gaetano has been out for a little training and after six weeks he is going well under saddle and has been driven three or four times. Mostly saddle work is what was done and we will continue working him here at home. We do think that he can become a very nice western pleasure horse and be competitive on the Morgan A circuit.
We are expecting nice weather this weekend so on Friday we bring Gaetano home and we will collect Storm on Saturday. We need to get a couple of ejaculates out of him to start off the season. I will keep you informed on how successful our breeding season will be. Come back and check this blog often.

Breeding Season

We want to thank you for visiting our web site and we hope you enjoyed our Morgans. If at any time your in Vermont please stop by and see us in person. We always like company and we love to talk horse.

Well the breeding season is here and we'll try this year to get our twenty two year old mare, Bo's Precious Gem in foal for a second time. We feel very lucky to have gotten a fantastic foal out of her last year but she would not show heat well with a foal by her side so we skipped covering her. That's not always good because as long as you keep breeding them, aged mares will get in foal easier breeding them right back. We will keep you informed right here as to how things are working out.

We also take in outside stallions for semen collection and shipping. Contact us at denlore3@denlore.com for fees and information.

Denlores Gaetano is at Meadowmere Farm getting an education. He is doing very well and it looks like he will make a very nice western pleasure show horse or carriage driving horse. We will let Josh make the final decision as to what he is best doing. His is still a stallion however he can be gelded at any time. I have kept him a stallion because of his wonderful disposition, his willingness to work along with the fact that he is very well put together.
He is for sale and you can contact his trainer Josh at Medowmere Farm in Vernon Vermont.

Spring is on it's way but

We have had several large snow storms the last few days. After a rather easy winter, Mother Nature decided to help us not forget what winter is all about. The mares in the barn however are coming into heat and the horses are beginning to she some hair. Both these signs tell me that winter is winding down and spring is right around the corner.
Last years foal, Denlores Dueler6 is growing like a weed and getting sassy. He is going to require a little more education to understand that he cannot play with me like he would with another colt. I know he loves me but!!!!
Speaking of education, Denlore's Gaetano is in training at Meadowmere Stable. It looks like he will do very well as a western or carriage driving horse. He is still a colt and he is for sale so if you are looking for a nice horse to show at larger shows, this guy will do it. He is a very nice stallion but by removing a couple of items, he could become an outstanding gelding.
