May 31, 2008 - We had a wonderful clinic on Saturday with the
fabulous Kim Keenan of Dressage Events (www.dressageevents.com).
Kim has a great way of communicating and presents with a very unintimidating
approach....not to mention a VERY impressive resume. We welcome Kim back to White Birch
Farm on June 21st. Auditors are welcome. Please contact me, Melonie, at meldrainey@msn.com if you would like to participate
in the clinic or simply audit.

14, 2007 - Stella arrived late last night safe and sound. Here are some pics of the first
day of adventures, meeting her pasture mate, Penny the pony. I wonder if Stella knows that
she has arrived upon horse heaven???" What a specimen of a horse, huh! Needless to
say, Carole is tickled pink!

| September 2007 - We
are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this beautiful mare out of Sterntanzer/Argintinus.
One more week and she will arrive from quarantine. |
Stella was born in July of 2002 and came in first at her Oldenburg inspection in Germany
out of 100 other foals. She started her jumping career in 2006 and continued through this
year. This beautiful mare has placed at every show (in Germany), usually in the top 3. She
has been competing as a jumper but has beautiful hunter movement....and we intend to see
how she moves out for dressage upon arrival! |
Stella is owned by my friend and neighbor, Carole Gallimore. If you find this mare of
interest, she is possibly for sale. Serious inquiries only, please. |

July 30, 2006 - Well, well, well, our little Etienne is growing up. His breeder, Monique
Matson (of www.meadowviewfarm.com ) came over for a visit so we thought we'd dust the
youngster off and run him around the arena a little bit, and are we ever impressed with
his progress!
