Ellen Guthrie and her Ideal named Jack (Ideal
Life)
In the
Beginner Novice Rider Amateur Division Ellen Guthrie (See related story
and photo below) on Ideal Life won
the Division with a score of 26.5.!
The
Dressage score was 26.5 with a double clear in both Cross Country and
Stadium Jumping.
There were
29 entries from riders all over the country.
Ellen sent us this great e-mail:
Hi,
Yes, It was an amazing week... .. He is
such an incredible guy...I was either crying or smiling with joy......
I wish I had had an Ultimate Piaffe flag or saddle pad or
something to wave and wear.!!!! But I told his story over and over to
both the Chronicle of the Horse interview, the US eventing mag and the
video which is on the www.useventing.com
website. (home page, left side,
3rd or 4th interview).
I get sooooo many compliments on him
when I am just hacking about also.. He was quite funny prior to our SJ
round.. I had braided him, groomed his tail etc,,, Then I ran back to
my trailer to get dressed, one last talk with my trainer and when I
returned to his stall to tack up he was flat out snoring sound asleep,
.. then when I get him "up", he sits like a dog for about 1
min... He used to do this all the time as a 2 yr old.. I start
laughing so hard.. So needless to say he wasn't at all stressed out
about being in 1st prior to SJ... LOL
Thank you again for bringing Ideal into
my life...
Ellen
UP: "You are welcome and
thanks for the neat story and kind words."

and Ideal Life were able to win the highest score for senior rider of the
entire show winning the Award!

Ishy Photos
Karen Writes:
Here are some highlight jumps of the
year for In The Money BCF. We had limited outings, but Ishy was
champion and even double-champion almost every time out, consistently at
1.20m, 1.25m, even up to 1.30m. Fingers crossed for our Grand Prix
Debut in 2010 ~ will let you know. He REALLY garnered a TON of
attention and admiration the last two weeks of August in Wilsonville
with his amazing jumping efforts.

Incahoots has new owner

Lessa on Incahoots
Ryann Blair of Oregon
reports she purchased Incahoots (aka Murphy) this Spring. She says,
"I absolutely love this guy and he’s doing so well! I really
enjoyed attending your Inspection last weekend and thought I would shoot
over a few recent pictures of my Ideal baby.
P.S. my pasture fence is 5 feet and 2 inches tall and he trotted that oxer
with ease, he loves to jump!
Thank you,

Ideal Foals of 2009!

by Susan MacInnes of Half Moon Bay, California, was born on
August 22, 2009, while Susan was at an ISR/Oldenburg inspection

Ideal's Promise
Ideal's Promise a filly by Ideal out of Belle Pluchette was born on April 26,
2009. This beautiful filly was bred by Margaret Scarf of White Hall, Maryland who tells us she has straight legs, an uphill canter
and a beautiful face with large dark eyes. "What you don't see is just how smart she is. She is also very friendly and walks
up to people to be petted. Finally, her high set, round neck in
beautiful proportion connects to her lovely head with a clean throat and
near perfect horizontal poll. These strengths, as well as all the
others, are the "Promise" of a future as a top performance
horse.
Embryo Transfer in Canada
  
On
May 27 a Chestnut filly bred by Gilles Brouillette using embryo
transfer was born in Quebec, Canada. The lovely filly by
Ideal is out of the Oldenburg mare Chanel de Bromont by Zymbal out
of Edle Dame by Pik Bube II. The large, active filly, pictured at just a
few days old, is very uphill and correct. The mare in the photo is
the carrying mare. With just one glance, the filly's beautiful balance of strength and grace is
instantly appreciated. Her rock solid foundation both of substance
and pedigree is accented by her desirable modern characteristics.
Congratulations
to Mr. Brouillette for realizing his vision and a heart felt thank you
to the European breeders who's dedication and passion over many decades
provide modern breeders the resources to keep quality...like this
filly....thriving.
