The beautiful 2006 colt Zander by Aul Magic ox, out of Zierlichkut by Schoenfeld was added to the Sales List. This colt is a good stallion prospect with strong conformation and big, supple gaits. Video is available here! Video of Zane, his full brother from 2007 can be found here!

Our last foal of 2008 is here!

April 28, 2008: Our third and last foal was born! Cara Bella had a stunning chestnut filly by the German Trakehner stallion Tolstoi! This filly is truly exceptional and looks to be one of the best we've had! This exciting prospect is a full sister to the 2007 colt, Colstoi.

Another chestnut filly!

April 17, 2008: Reika delivered a large chestnut filly by the Elite stallion Lehndorff's! This filly is a full sister to Reika's filly from last year, Reflexion. We expect the same great movement from this chestnut beauty in a more elegant, typey package!

Our first foal of 2008 is here!

Kildare is now being started under saddle and will be back home next month for further dressage training!

Kailee and Horatio will attend their second schooling show at the beginning of March and their first recognized show at the end of the month.

A huge congratulations and thank you!

February 10, 2008: Thank you Kailee for doing such a great job with our horses! Congrats on a great showing with Horatio, I know it will be the first of many! Kailee and Horatio earned a 1st and 2nd place at their first dressage schooling show. Later this year the pair will be showing at recognized shows.

A busy start to the new year!

January 2008: The start of the new year was a very busy one around Sovereign Farm! Calais went to her new home in CO! Roberta reports that she is being a very good girl in her new home. I just wish I could be there for the first time Calais sees a white world of fresh snow!

Horatio, Madira and Pagan continue to do well under saddle with Kailee. Horatio is scheduled to go to his first under saddle schooling show the second weekend in February. Madira will make her debut later this spring!

We are continuing improvements around the farm, slowly but surely! Last summer we finally had pasture for the mares and foals. Ten acres of grass are currently fenced with plans for more before this summer. A new block entrance to the farm is nearly finished. We are only waiting for our farm sign to finish that project! Anyone wanting to visit the farm, please email or call me... we love to have visitors!!

Good luck!

December 2007: Good luck to Judy and her new filly Kenya! Kenya will be traveling to her new home within a few months. Congrats Judy!

A hearty welcome!

We would like to welcome local dressage trainer Kailee Surplus to Sovereign Farm. She began working with several horses here at the beginning of August and we are already very pleased with both her handling and riding of the young ones! She will be working with Horatio, Madira, Bombay and Rhapsodiva. New photos will be posted as they become available! Check out Horatio's second ride with Kailee!

Horatio started under saddle!

At the beginning of July Horatio was started under saddle by Brad Dirla! Madira and Bombay came home and are starting with a local dressage trainer in mid-July. Both Madira and Bombay did well for their initial under saddle training and are quietly walk/trot/canter... perfect for the next phase of their training!

Madira and Bombay off to school!

On June 1st, both Madira and Bombay start under saddle with local trainer Brad Dirla. Brad has started a number of our young horses and does a superb job! Check their pages mid-June for new photos and updates!
