Happy Owner Update




GEZEBELLA - Yvonne Welz sent us a couple photos of Gezebella (Belle), her 5-year-old mare by Gatsby. They are pictured together at a horse show where Belle achieved 67% for first level test 3. Congratulations on an excellent score! Yvonne reports that Belle is an elegant mover with three excellent gaits and a springy trot that is easy to sit. Belle is a beautiful mare and Yvonne plans to work her way up the levels in dressage. In 2007, Belle & Yvonne won 2nd Place for the USDF All-Breeds Award for RPSI, Training Level AA!!

Yvonne and her husband, James, co-own the company, The Horse’s Hoof, which is dedicated to the promotion and education of barefoot hoof care. For some very interesting and compelling information about the merits of proper barefoot hoof care, please visit their website:

What does a Gatsby foal look like when it grows up?


SHF BITBURG - You have probably all seen pictures of a really cute foal and thought,
“Wow, I wonder what he will grow up to look like?” Well, here you go! This is SHF Bitburg (2005 out of a TB/QH cross mare). Bitburg is owned by April Hamlin of Sleepy Hound Farm in Elkmont, AL. He was started this year by April and is currently being trained for the Eventing course with a little help from April’s German instructor. April comments, “Burg is, as usual, his spunky self, and is doing extremely well.” Watch for Bitburg at a schooling show this summer. The rider is April’s husband. Apparently his name is… “Husband” :^) What a nice conformation Bitburg has. And boy did this guy ever get his daddy's head! With horses like this, the South really might just rise again!

Classic Moonlight Son

Also known as "Eclipse" was shown at the NW Sporthorse in Hand Breeders Classic September 6, 2008 at the Tacoma Unit. Eclipse did very well! He was so well behaved and took everything in stride. The judge Hilda Gurney scored him "8" in over all conformation, very nice top line, correct legs, well turned out, very nice walk with good over-reach, big bold trot. We took 3rd in the "yearling colts" class and 2nd in the RHPSI Breed Class.

He is currently 15.2 hands and just as sweet as ever (:
