I know that some of you have been back to this blog several times looking for updates on our farm. I do apologize but let me tell you what we have been up to this summer.
In May we lost a foal. The mare Townshend Call Me A Flirt aborted her foal about sixty days before she was due. The foal never took a breath and would have been a very nice filly. We ended up sending the mare back to her owner and discontinued the lease on her. We had a hard time getting her in foal and decided that we did not want to try her again.
We showed at Morgan Heritage Days the end of June. Denlore’s Desert Storm took a blue ribbon in the Stallion In Hand class and the Stallion Championship.
He also won the Justin Morgan Standard Class with nineteen entries. Storm went on to WOW people as he was ridden by Jordan LaPlaca in the Stallion Parade Demonstration.
There were several Desert Storm off spring that also showed and won at this show. I just goes to prove that Storms babies are wonderful horses that are willing to please their owners, in and out of the show ring.
Bobcats Wonderful Tonight, owned by Catherine LaBarre took several Blue Ribbons In Hand. Catherine has started this filly in harness and expects to do well with her next year.
Denlore’s Stormin Normin owned by Joanne Rose placed high in several saddle classes. Joan also trail rides Norman all over the Green Mountains and just proves that you can show a Morgan today and go out on the trails tomorrow.
We just recently took in a nineteen year old mare for riding and breeding. She is up there in age for breeding however she has some wonderful old blood that I would like to see crossed with Storm. Bo’s Precious Gem who is by Mad River Sailor was brought to the barn in August. She is a very nice mare that has good bone, nice conformation and type. If we can get her in foal, I would expect something very nice.
We received a very nice letter from Paula Rosen who has purchased a Morgan mare who is by Denlore’s Desert Storm. She reports that Promise Promises was ridden by her young daughter saddle seat and took several ribbons. She plans on training her to harness and driving her next summer. We want to that Paula for the nice letter and photos of her daughter riding Promise.
It’s nice to know that Denlore’s Desert Storm is producing foals that become good using horses, at show, for the family and on the trail. Storm lives up to the versatile Morgan
