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."

Earlier we reported ...

Some Mighty Fine Jumping by ISHY and Karyn Albrecht 

More 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.

Karyn & Ishy

UP- "What a great story. Notice we have a link above to an ISKY picture page."


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,

Ryann Blair

"You're so welcome."


Ideal Foals of 2009!


At about 24 hours August Colt by Ideal

A colt by Ideal out of Obsidian by Belucci owned by Susan MacInnes of Half Moon Bay, California, was born on August 22, 2009, while Susan was at an  ISR/Oldenburg inspection in California with her other colt by Ideal who was scored a Champion Premium Colt.  Susan also plans to take this colt to an inspection in about 3 weeks.

   
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.
