Dear Small Breeder…. I see you!

I see you pouring your heart and soul into those mares praying for a good heartbeat check.

I see you, missing family gatherings because a mare needs bred. Or one is about to foal.

I see you, sleepless nights hoping nothing goes wrong at foaling time.

I see you, crying because you lost a foal, mare or both.

I see you standing over that prize yearling, that just broke its leg.

I see you, struggling wondering which incentives to pay into. Because everyone wants them all paid into every incentive possible.

I see you, as you are saying goodbye to the old mare that started it all… wondering if you should keep going.

I see you, struggling on which mare to breed to which stallion to hopefully make someone’s super star!

I see you, smiling because it all went right this time!

I see you, smiling because someone called to tell you how much they love that foal you raised. And it is their heart horse!

Keeping going small breeder! Because without you, there are a lot of people missing out on that once in a life time horse.

It’s not to late to secure your 2024
Stonebrook Finno breeding.

This legendary black stallion now deceased offers a wealth of performance breeding and a magnificent temperament.
His progeny have his incredible cool, trainable mind, as well as cow sense and athletic ability.
We have found them to be horses for the whole family, competing consistently at a high level.

Attached are photos of a young gelding bred by Renee Thompson in TX USA
Jay Z- is a full ASH gelding by Stonebrook Finno x Steal A Star (Stella) . Jay wasn’t for sale as he was one of Renee’s dream breedings and definitely wasn’t bred as a “kid” horse
Then a young rider named Lilly rode him and they just clicked.
Renee agreed to sell JAY Z
And now Jay Z has his girl ❤️ and Lilly has her partner look for them this weekend on the polocrosse field and many more to come!! Congrats to all involved !

Always a difficult day when we have to say goodbye to a horse that has touched our lives.

Yahoo Igloo (IGGY) was our homebred mare that touched many lives while on our farm. We only had her for a short time as most of her life was spent with her loving owner Kimberly Darling. Kimberly was the perfect fit for IGGY exploring and enjoying various equestrian activities together. Learning and enjoying together

Thank you Kimberly for your great love and understanding to allow a peaceful exit with dignity when IGGY was no longer thriving. Thank you for enjoying IGGY and loving her through it all. IGGY had an impact on all those that met her ❤️

Just enjoyed my last ride in the saddle for 2022 and taking time to reflect on my favourite moments during the 2022 ARCHA Show Season. There were so many.
In the past I used to dread show days with worry and adrenaline raging.
Now I look forward to it. Trusting myself more and enjoying the opportunities.

“Horses are so expensive.”
I agree, they cost me a lot everyday.
Horses cost you your selfishness.
Having horses means everyday you are alive you must consider someone’s needs before your own, multiple times a day. Even when you’re away from them arrangements must be made, this builds character and gives us self worth.
Horses cost you your ego.
Right when you think you have it figured out, you will undoubtedly be presented with a humbling experience either in the arena or out. They will force you to reach out for help when your expertise is maxed out. If you are wise, you will realize life is like this too. Maybe we should reach out for help more frequently and we would get further.
Horses cost you your laziness.
You will never progress with an equine partner by leaving it turned out, just as you will never progress by staying checked out. Do the work and you will get somewhere.
Horses cost you your heart.
They never fail to find a way to touch us deep within even (and especially) when we are feeling cold to the ways of the world. There’s something special about getting to interact with a being that becomes softer when we soften. We should learn to respond to one another similarly.
Yes, horses are so expensive. But everything they’ve ever cost me has also made me

Enjoying the Monday to Friday work for the weekend event . YAHOO CASINO ROYALLE good finish in today’s work coming through turnarounds quicker. Always impressed at this mares willingness to learn.

Moments of lightness
It’s a quest for some of us riders it requires some struggle some patience and some relearning.
And it’s worth it
Life and learning can be hard it’s not all success and bliss, but when learning happens damn it feels good.
