Equus Magnificus.

Because I didn't want a name to limit my growth . Because I wanted a name to simply recognize the magnificence of the equine athlete, all breeds and disciplines included.

This year, I helped my 18th foal to come this world. Of those 18, I bred 16.

Of those 16, I produced:
🩷 1 Verband Premium and Reserve Champion MPT GOV mare
🩷 1 MPT/MMB Hanoverian mare
🩵 1 Devon hunter breeding winner
🩵 1 super hunter prospect (who almost won the Lieutenant's Cup at the Royal in 2023!)
🩷 1 Hanoverian mare on her way to her MPT in 2024
🩷 1 Gold Medal, Champion dressage foal, Top Ten and MPT Reserve Champion Hanoverian mare
🩷 1 Gold Medal, Reserve Champion and Top Ten filly

I've lost track of some of the others, while some are just happily living their lives as treasured members of their owners' family. Others are still young and developing. I've lost 3. I'm keeping 3.

The wonder of dreaming of those horses, helping them to their feet for the first time, watching them grow and move on to shine under saddle is still as fresh as it was 20 years ago. But still, all that wonder can't make up for the heartache and the countless hours of work. And I'm still only human. I'm tired.

It's time for me to move on to other projects for the foreseeable future, including La fabrique à licornes, through which I hope to share the wonder and help others create their own perfect unicorn! 🦄

Therefore, I'll be listing some pretty spectacular horses as I embark on this next phase of my life, keep your eyes peeled for these truly unique offers! 😍

All this mild weather has me thinking we're back in the fall! 🍁🍂 So I thought I'd pull out this picture and play around with an app. What do you think?

Looking to downsize for the winter so I can bring everyone in at the same time when it'll be horribly cold. 🥶 Special consideration offered for the first two sold before Dec. 1st. 😁

Summer's moving along fast, so fast I haven't had the time to post more pictures about this boy! Héraclès E. M. showing off he's got the moves. 🤩

This classy young c**t is still looking for his special person. 💗

Everybody's crush also shined in front of Laurie Neron Photographe's lens. Surprisingly, he's still looking for his future rider. If bling is your thing... ;-) ;-) Saturne E. M. by Sir Gregory out of Hélène E. M. (v. Harvard).

Sneak peak!

We had our yearly photoshoot with the uber talented Neron Photographe and we thought we should do some quick videos of the yearlings. As I was editing the product of our efforts, I just glanced and saw this still shot. And I love it. It's nothing high quality or anything, but that hind leg though...! My giraffe/lama/camel look-alike showing what he's been bred to do. 💗

And I'm also realizing I have failed miserably thus far at this whole "posting more on social media" thing. Oh well. Haha! I'll keep trying!

03/02/2022

When I posted my new logo and announced some changes a little while ago, a kind person wondered what was going wrong as it looked like I was doing good. Good question.

I don’t share much publicly. While I’m a confident speaker in person, for some reason, I’m petrified of really expressing myself online.

And that was one of the first elements to put a damper on 2021: realizing that I was stuck unless I overcame that fear. Not having an online presence is fatal to any business nowadays. But what do I fear? It’s ridiculous, I can just delete and block the nasties. But honestly, who needs that negativity? Isn’t life stressful enough with work, kids, taxes?

Plus, I want to focus on my horses, my career and my kids. I have no interest in posting a gazillion pictures of my lunch or myself. I don’t want to rob precious time from my real life sharing every little detail online.

But, it’s pointless to try and resist change. Maybe I’ll even like it? 😲 So, here’s to my start on this journey to be a bit more “modern” and active on social media. Wish me luck!

Pictured is Chocolatine. She was the sweetest little pony mare and helped my daughter learn to ride a bit. She's no longer with us, she passed in 2021 at the age of 25. 💜

Freyja's papa. I just love him and see so much of him in her. You can't deny the resemblance. 💜

New Year, New Logo, New Direction

2021 wasn’t fun. It was a year of challenges at every level for everything. It was a year to think: what the heck am I doing wrong and what do I need to do to get back on track?

Well, I pouted. I brooded. Then, I gave up fighting and started listening to my gut. Started opening my eyes and seeing things as they were, not as I wished they were. And that’s when I started thinking, when I decided change was in order. Big change.

I will be sharing more details as we move forward towards spring, but let me start with this new logo. Completely reimagined by Christina Conway. It breathes harmony and beauty. I needed this.

Thank you Christina. 💜

2022 is going to be amazing. There. I said it. 🤩

I'm extraordinarily excited to announce that Freya E. M. (Fidertanz/Wolkentanz II) will not only be started and prepped for her MPT in the fall, but she will also be bred to Diesel CF, Damsey FRH's full brother, and a truly special stallion in his own right. 🥳

He is also available through the Canadian Hanoverian Society 's stallion auction! Don't miss it! https://www.facebook.com/Canadian-Hanoverian-Society-249718728394069
