Jennifer says her filly was born at 9:30 in the morning in front of 6 little kids. She said, "My son decided it was the grossest thing he had ever seen (he is 9)". She is a very brown chestnut -- like a dark cherry wood -- but my bet is she will shed her baby fuzz and be grey. Her muzzle and legs are very grey. She has about 10 white hairs in the middle of her forehead, and two white bands on both hind feet. She is VERY large, and very very feminine I have been waiting for a girl!

socks and a big blaze. Babe is our Belgium draft horse who has produced two
exceptional dressage horses with Ideal. Illusion continues to rack up Blue
Ribbons up at North West dressage shows. We have seen video of Ingrid, his

permission to include Ingrid in Ideal's marketing video or use pictures taken after she
purchased her. (Fortunately for us, no other buyers have such restrictions.)
Babe's baby got her name when Dr. Jone Sampson, a Baby Doctor and one of
Darrel's dressage students, took one look at her and cried .... "what By the way, Innocence is available for purchase by someone (hopefully) who will be willing to share pictures of her progress. (On the right here she is at two days.)

who has a blaze which mirrors her mom's. The mare is
Freisa and she had several NWSHA Champions out of a wide
variety of stallions before we purchased her for our

A filly for Deborah Borra out of Fiora a Swedish Mare by Karneval (Trak)
out of Fjäril by Tiger. Deborah of Centerport, New York, reports this is
a very big foal which the mare decided to foal standing up with Deborah
trying to play catcher. Both owner and mare hit the stall floor with the foal in
Deb's lap. Actually, the standing delivery resulted from the filly
was presenting incorrectly which required Deborah having to turn the foal.
(That's why it's important to be present for those times nature needs an
assist.) Otherwise, the Vet said she would not have made it. As it was, the filly
survived and nursed on her own in 40 minutes. Deb has named this one
Inamorata .... 'my little love'.

thoroughbred show mare "Show Me The Money", produced two
