How Cute is That?

STEPHENVILLE, TX - How hard do you think it will be to start this one under saddle? Trista Fahle is VERY happy with her Gatsby weanling Gizmo. Gizmo is a 2008 ISR Premium foal. Here is a bit of what Trista has to say...

"Gizmo... is getting HUGE!!! Everyone around here sees him and doesn't believe me when I tell them he is only 8 months old. He is still an absolute sweetheart and will let you do anything with him and is always in everyone's business. His new best friend is my mother-in-law's donkey, which he towers over. Gizmo gets to go play out with everyone during the day but goes back up in his stall and run at night so he can eat his alfalfa. God forbid you should be late letting him out in the morning, the donkey gets very upset and waits by his gate. They play incessantly. I think it's the most exercise that donkey has had since we got him ;) Anyways, just wanted to send a few pics and let you all know that I love that 'little' horse so much and he is doing great."

Another Gatsby Foal is Headed for the Show Ring in '09

UTAH - Betsy Gilstrap's four year old Gala is going great guns and headed for the show circuit in Utah. Betsy sent along the above photo and these comments recently...

"Gala is so broke on the flat it’s amazing. Auto lead changes and everything. Natural balance. He is the nicest horse I have ever had, and trust me I’ve had many! His temperament is amazing, and I can’t believe that I’ve had him since he was 4 months old and done all his training myself. I am an amateur and only work him 3 times a week. The rest of the time he is hanging out in a 5 acre field (with run in stalls) with 3 other horses. I am so excited to show him!!!!!! The still jumping is very good form. Just not the most professional shot. He’s a great mover, yes! I love him and will never sell him I’m sure!"

Good luck to Gala and Betsy at the shows this Spring!

Looking for a Gatsby foal RIGHT NOW? Check out our in-utero deal...

Need a Gatsby baby and need it fast? Well, we can hook you up! We have the mare, Markee (actually she is a breed-lease) that is in foal due this spring. Markee (pictured above) is approved Belgian Warmblood (BWP). She had a gorgeous colt by Gatsby last season so we know what she will produce. Last year's colt (pictured above) is a beautiful BWP colt that is destined for the hunter/jumper ring. His name is Intuition but is called "Newt" around the barn. His owner (Becky Sancewich of Oregon City, OR) is in LOVE with him! Not only will he be a big fella, but he has a sweet Gatsby personality to match. He is leggy with a beautiful neck and topline, substantial bone, and he is a beautiful mover. He is definitely the total package! We have every reason to believe that Markee's next foal will live up to the same expectations!

Of course, Gatsby's pedigree is on our website (http://www.foxdalefarm.us/). Markee is by the Dutch Stallion Marand (Concorde x Lector). Concorde is by that famous Hanoverian, Voltaire who is by another classic stallion Furioso II (Selle Francias). In true Belgian Warmblood fashion, this resulting foal will have some of the most famous European Jumper blood in the world, (G-line Hanoverian, KWPN, Selle Francias) with just a dash of North American Thoroughbred (Seattle Slew) pretty darn famous in his own right!

We currently have this in-utero foal for sale on http://www.warmbloods-for-sale.com/ for $6500.00. Through our website and blogspot we are offering a private special with a 10% discount or $5850. We believe that this is a smokin' good deal for what is sure to be an awesome Gatsby foal.
