We got a stellar update of everyone’s favorite Night Train MF (Emerald Van’t Ruytershof X Burggraaf). His owner/rider has done a great job developing him!
“He was so so successful. Only last week he was fourth in the HJAM Adult Medal Final, and he scored 82 and 83 in the child/adult hunter classic to earn 2nd out of over 20 people. He won his flat class the first week, won a few over fences, and ribboned in almost every single class. He was also reserve champion in the 3’ greens!” - Bella Harold
🦄 Unrivaled MF 🦄
Grand Slam VDL X Balou du Rouet
2024 Colt registered KWPN-NA
Unrivaled is a big uphill mover with active hocks perfect for pushing off the ground over a big jump!
Grand Slam VDL, a son of Cardento, competed 1.60m, and was just listed by hippomundo as the up and coming stallion second in the rankings for international offspring under 9yo.
Balou du Rouet is famous for his abundance of top quality offspring from international Show Jumpers to derby hunters and eventers.

These two may have to come as a packaged deal, they are virtually inseparable!

Narnian MF (Diamant de Semilly X Emilion) went home with top 3 ribbons with owner/rider Dr. Lauren Zapitelli. He looks so fun to ride these days!
The highly anticipated reel of Rivendell MF from the weekend’s YHS! River won the 3yo Jump Chute and was second at Liberty. I’m still obsessed with this mare.

Yearling Swagger MF went home to his owner Joanna Hagen over the weekend. I got this video update of the little man attached at the hip to his maternal half brother 9yo Jenuine Legacy MF in a herd full of new horses 🥰.
Latido (Zirocco Blue X Alphabet Soup xx) has been having a good winter season so far! Here he is with a young Jr rider in the Non-Pro Derby where they finished 2nd. Savannah is borrowing him for some shows and they make a great pair. It’s even more fun since Savannah was one of the pony kids in the “my” barn family while Kylin was still in St. Louis.
Symbolist (Daaher X Alphabet Soup) won another race! That’s two wins and a second in his last three starts.

It’s a girl! Grand Slam X Alphabet Soup born at 7:45pm. She stood up completely unassisted in 15min, nursed in 30, and is racing around the stall stressing her mom out at an hour and a half.
What a fun weekend at the Young Horse Show Series (YHS) in Sedalia! We had double the entries of last year which was great to see!
A huge thanks to the volunteers and ring crew without which we couldn’t have a show.
It was great to see so much quality in the young stock this year and how well behaved they all were. Good handling sets them up for success even more than ability.
We are extremely proud of our yearling Rivendell MF (Coronet Obolensky X Burggraaf) who knocked it out of the park earning a score of 8.8 to top the field of 14 yearlings.
Rubaiyat MF (Emerald van’t Ruytershof X Alphabet Soup xx) was also outstanding finishing in second with a score of 8.68
Big day for Sonic working towards heading for the racetrack. He learned to long line, which I’m terrible at. The fact he could make heads or tails of what I was asking is impressive itself. Also, swung a leg over. #payntbyletters Paynter X Alphabet Soup
Moved the younger horses to the back so they have plenty of room to run up and down the hills. #developingstrongbones
