Our condolences go out to Cathy Pollack on the loss of her best friend, Jax, recently. He was loved by her his whole life. He was one of the best we raised, a Mandy son.

Somewhere . . . in time's own space, there must be some sweet, pastured place
Where creeks sing on - and tall trees grow, some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen, I know great horses live again.

It is with a heavy heart that we lay to rest today one of the best horses to grace us with his presence. Just a couple days ago, N’Vincible WBF (Vince) was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer on his jaw and it is inoperable. We can’t stop crying. He is only 24. He should have had many more years with us. The sun may be shining here at the farm, but it’s the darkest of days. We will all miss you💔

We took care of Vince over the last 9 years for his owner, Barb Dickison. She raised, trained and loved him all his life.

if the day should come when i'm in pain
and you know i won't be well again
promise me you'll do what must be done
if this is the battle which can't be won

it'll break your heart, but please be kind
don't let your grieving sway your mind
for this is when you'll let me see
just how much you do love me

together we've had many happy years
the future now can hold no fears
please don't let me suffer
and when that day comes, please let me go

for my usual vet please will you send?
but stay with me until the end
hold me steady, speak to me
til my once bright eyes no longer see

in time i hope you'll come to see
it's the last kindness you'll do for me
one more time please stroke my mane
and know that i'll have no more pain

and don;t be sad that it was you
who decided that this was what to do
we've been such buddies through the years
don't let me be the cause of tears

you'll always see me graze now
with the sun upon my back
painful limbs won't tire me now
however long the hack

i live now in your heart and mind
a lovely place to stay
and what you have in memories
no one can take away

On this day of Thanksgiving, I give heartfelt thanks that I can be a small part of making lives better for the horses that I love and their families. It is always a gamble breeding and purchasing horses to sell, but I have been luckier than many in finding them exceptional lifelong homes and for that I thank you all for sharing your stories.

Our Cedar Lane Farm horse of the week is Axel Foley KCH, by Ambassadeur of Canada GF and out of Lotta Gold MMH by none other than founding sire Alpen Konig. Lotta Gold was out of the incredible mare La Gold, who I had the privilege of seeing years ago. Some of them just make an impression that last forever. I have purchased everything I could related to that mare line. Axel was born at an Amish farm in Ohio, which I find amusing since he is named after the character in Beverly Hills Cop played by Eddie Murphy. I purchased him to train and sell, he wasn’t on our farm long before he started getting attention due to his cute face. Sidney Kerr and her mom came out to look at him and chose him for their family and renamed him Edelweiss, shortened to Edel. He is now 20 years old and here is his story sent in by his person, Sidney:

I feel like a lot of these write ups that I read are about how the rider knew at the first meeting of the horse that they were special. Maybe for some people that’s the case, but it definitely wasn’t that kind of start for us. The start for us was in 2006, when he was a very green baby, and I was a very dumb, young teenager who didn’t want to ride a green baby. He wasn’t originally even for me, he was for my mom. She rode him until she fell off the first time, and then she was done riding.

I think Edel spent the first 3 years that we had him on trail, out in a group or by himself, and didn’t see the inside of a ring until he was maybe 7. My horse Joe at the time was unfortunately a very unsound fellow. Before Joe was completely retired, I would ride Edel when he wasn’t sound. I had some horse friends who were on a western drill team when I was a senior in high school, so I joined them. Parades, performances at the Kentucky Horse Park, and more, we did it and had a blast. The reason I left drill was being told that Edel was “too flashy, too small, and the wrong breed.” (Don’t worry, the lady who told me that, we kicked her butt a few years later in the open pen in every single class she entered.)

So we did other things. From April to November I was at Faustman Ranch in Dayton two or three weekends a month horse showing for years. We did gymkhana, the open shows, and every clinic I could sign us up for. We learned how to ranch rope and went and roped cows that were as big as he is. By the time I moved away, I had a mountain of ribbons, medals, 8 belt buckles, and two jackets.

We spent a season on the Dayton Local Show Circuit having a great time in the baby greens. We spent a year doing mounted games, competing playing mug shuffle, sword rings, and more, ending in reserve for our division. I borrowed a cart one summer, hooked him up, and drove him around. Prior to that, he would have only been driven before my family bought him. We went on hunter paces galloping first flight through the woods and over massive trees.

I went to the University of Findlay where I used him on the Ranch Horse team at the shows. He easily kept up with the quarter horses, and even beat them in ranch trail and boxing. My senior year, I tried out for the eventing team with him and evented at several USEA shows. I graduated and we were set to compete at Chattahoochee Hills, for Intercollegiate Eventing Championships. A week before we would leave, he got injured in the field, right in front of me. He had shredded his superficial digital flexor tendon. Prognosis was “maybe trail sound, if we’re lucky.” It took 2 years, hundreds of hours on my part, more dollars than I want to think about, and a darn good vet, farrier, and trainer who worked as a team to get him sound.

We have been riding with USDF silver medalist Katherine Byrd since 2020 who is out-of-this-world knowledgeable. She helped me get him from just trot work to real work in rehab. In 2021, we started horse showing again. We didn’t just horse show though, we cleaned house.

He now gets used a few times a week as a lesson pony for the walk trot kids. He is good 90% of the time for the littles. Normally someone has to motivate him from the ground to trot for the kids whose legs don’t even go past the saddle pad. Occasionally though, he decides it’s a great day to go, and instead of cantering the long side and then trotting the short, it’s all canter. However, the kids all still keep picking him to ride when given the choice. Clearly, they have good taste.

At the time of writing this, November 2023, we have 307 ribbons. 107 of them are first places. 206 are top 3. He received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from American Haflinger Registry in 2019 for our show career. We have thousands of hours in the show pen, and at this point probably close to ten thousand hours of ride time together. He is a testament to his breeding, and absolutely made me a Haflinger owner for the rest of my life. As much as people think about the conformation and size of the horse being what will allow them to achieve their dreams, I think it’s more about what’s between those two little golden ears, and what’s sitting in that barrel of a chest.

Our Cedar Lane Farm Horse of the Week is the last foal born of our original breeding program years ago. He is named A Gold Rush of Cedar Lane and is one of the few offspring of the talented FEI dressage stallion we raised, Adrenaline Rush SBF. Gold Rush is out of the exceptional producing mare, Almendra (Mandy in the barn). He was born April 18, 2009. He was an outstanding youngster and I felt destined to go out and share the talent and personality he possessed with the world. That fall I met a woman interested in Haflingers at a show in Wilmington OH. She fell in love with Adrenaline Rush and I told her about the c**t at home. She was from Oklahoma! Well, I suggested if she wanted him that she should buy him a friend from a neighbor to keep him company on the way home. So that is how two weanling c**ts headed west. I lost touch with Rush, but this year I was contacted by his new owner, Stacey Prock, for which I was grateful to hear about him.

Here is her guest post about my golden c**t:

I purchased Rush on Feb 14th of this year. He had been sitting in a pasture for a few years when he was suggested as a new partner for me.

In the short time I've had him, we have had many adventures, from jumping, obstacle challenges, trail rides, and dressage shows.

In September, Rush helped me get my 1st score towards my bronze. We also qualified in May to attend the western dressage world show. We placed 7th out of 42 in a very competitive class.
We are currently ranked 10th for USEF national points for Western Dressage.

Rush has taught me so much in such a short time, not only in dressage but also in jumping. I've never had an interest in jumping, but Rush is so much fun and so honest with his jumps that I really enjoy jumping now.

I've never owned a halflinger prior to Rush. He is fancy and full of spirit. He works hard and enjoys so many things. Even on his worst days, I can laugh at his shenanigans.
My hope is to earn my Bronze on him, play around with jumping, and explore as many trails as we can find.

Thank you Stacey for giving Rush a chance to be your friend and partner. I appreciate it more than you know.

Cedar Lane Farm Horse of the week is Leo! He is a 7 year old gelding registered Alpha BYWY by Alpha TOF and out of Mia Bella BBR by N’Vincible WBF. He is owned and loved by Tina Pence at TK Ranch.

Leo was born down south and sold as a young horse to a man in Louisiana for a driving and riding horse. He was sold as trained to drive but there were some holes in his education that caused issues when being worked. Eventually after some accidents, he unfortunately found his way to a kill pen down south. He was marketed as kid broke in the kill pen and a compassionate woman in Indiana decided to take a chance on him, not knowing his history. She put him in the field and didn’t have problems herself, but her kids couldn’t catch him and he had a stubborn streak.

She posted him for sale and I noticed his papers were some of my best horses I had had in my barn. He is a grandson of our now gelding Vince, who is a great beginner horse. He is also a grandson of the fabulous dressage mare, Merrick RVRW by Walzertakt out of Mystique TOF owned by Jenny Carol. I had to go see him. The last picture is my first visit. He had to be caught with a bucket of treats and was too smart for his own good. After doing some research, I learned about his past and had some reservations of course. However I convinced Tina to take a look and see if we could get him an education and see what his issues were that needed addressed.

They called him Leo as it seemed to fit. The funny thing was the man in Louisiana called him Creole, which is similar in sound. He wasn’t sure when he met us that he wanted much to do with our plan. He was pretty cozy in Indiana with a field full of friends and no work to do. But with some educated discussion, we finally got him loaded to bring home and learn to be a productive citizen.

Tina has done all his care and training. With patience and consistency along with good nutrition and care, she has, in a few months, turned him into a horse she can do a little trail riding with as well as some supervised lessons. He still has a lot to learn to build his confidence in new situations, but when he is comfortable, he loves to work and get attention.

This is a reminder to us all that we can have second chances at life if we just jump on that trailer and head down a new road. Leo has stolen our hearts and although we considered him a sale prospect, he may never leave our hands. Thank you to his initial rescuer and to Tina for giving him a chance at life.

Our Cedar Lane Farm horse of the week is a very special member of the family, Dually, a bay 1998 Quarter Horse mare registered Dual Peppy Pine. She is bred to be a cutting horse and is very quick to move, especially when she was younger. Dually was purchased in 2009 by my son, Hagan. We did a little light riding with her off and on, but her greatest gift to us was her excellent baby sitting skills for keeping younger horses company without being too strict. She was even borrowed by our friends if they had need of a good companion horse. Dually raised several young horses and was always kind. Dually has often been seen as our free range horse around the farm, she likes to wander around the yard visiting the other horses. She is our most dependable lawn mower! Dually has life pretty easy most of the time. We love her and she will be here forever.

Our Cedar Lane Farm horse of the week is Steel, a solid black Tennessee Walker who has blessed us with his presence for many years. He is owned and loved by Elizabeth Bain, who has become a great friend to us over our years of working together to provide the best home possible for Steel and his constant companion, Sheba. Steel has a loving personality and is always easy to handle. He loves learning new tricks and going on adventures. He has a super memory and loves routine. He will also take all the treats you can offer.

Here is his guest post written by Elizabeth:

Steel City was born in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania in 2003. His sire was Steel Connection, who was a World Grand Champion 15'2 and under stallion. Steel has been shown in gaited classes and received Reserve champion titles twice at the Royal K horse show. He has been shown both Saddleseat and Western pleasure. His true love is being on the trails, where he shows alot of heart and helped lead a group of trail riders to safety in a 63,000 acre park when we got lost. Steel loves routine, apples, grooming, and making friends with the ladies!

09/09/2023

Our Cedar Lane Farm Horse of the week is a really special guy: Mighty Mitch MRH who has some of the best older bloodlines in his pedigree. I first saw Mitch as a 2 year old at the auction. I didn’t look closely at him but liked his pedigree and bid. I didn’t end up bringing him home as someone bid higher. A couple weeks later I received a call from the man who had bought him. He said he didn’t match his other horse and asked if I was still interested. I never turned down a chance to look at ponies so I went to get a better look at Mitch. He was in a cross tie and the first thing I noticed was his crooked front leg from the knee down. BUT, he had the sweetest disposition and kind eye. And the man was not nice to him. So I ignored the conformation fault and fell in love with the pony. He came home that day and stayed for a couple years to mature. I had a nice gelding named Mike that matched him well in size and type, so I decided to send them for team driving training to try and sell a matched team. That is how Mitch ended up in California eventually finding the best home ever. I was so happy to have helped him in his journey and to keep in touch with his loving owner, Leiana Furlong, who adores him. Here is her guest post about Mitch:

All hail Mitch the Mighty of House MRH; The First of His Name, Lord of the Long Corral, Tosser of Hay Pillows, Devourer of Cookies, Flinger of Hay and Bestest Boi to his Favorite Human Hay Girl.

After Mitch came to California from Cedar Lane to be a professional carriage horse in the Bay Area, he made his way down to Santa Barbara for a brief stint at the local therapeutic riding academy. I had just lost my Big Red Heart Horse the year before, and was on the lookout for a horse that could become my new trail partner. Prior to meeting Mitch, I had only seen a Haflinger in a picture book, and I had no idea what to expect from this fluffy golden-colored creature with the white mane and tail. He definitely wasn’t the 18 hand black warmblood I had envisioned myself riding. But he was definitely amazingly cute! And that cuteness factor was what made me want to learn more about him. I went to try him out in February of 2008 and the rest … the rest is well, history. We’ve been together for 15 years as a team, very nearly share a birthday together every single year and while I would like to say that I have him very well trained as a trail horse that can mosey down the trail in a sidepull (not bad for a pony on a SeeFood Diet), the truth is — he has me very well trained to distribute cookies along the way. But we can’t ever call that a bribe (oh no, never ever!)

He might be a 1999 model , but to him, 24 is just a number and he isn’t slowing down any time soon. We do trail riding, have participated twice in the Virtual Tevis (100 miles in 100 days), have done the Wild West 5-mile Virtual Endurance Ride, rode in a schooling dressage show once and have so many more adventures ahead of us. He is my Soul Pony, my reason for getting up every morning because someone’s gotta feed him, and my best friend. I became a horsewoman, not just a rider, because of Mitch. He means the World to me. I love him.

Our Cedar Lane horse of the week is Denali, a beautiful big Quarter Horse who has been with our fabulous barn helper, Whitley, for 5 years now. He moved to our farm with her other horses last month and is settling in well. Here is her essay about this handsome fellow:

I didn’t think I was going to be able to buy him but my mom and grandparents surprised me with him right before my birthday! We have done 4 years of fair together and 1 year he even went to state! Our biggest accomplishment at fair was when we won a first place trophy in ranch pleasure, and in hunter under saddle, he also won first place for ranch showmanship and in the championship class he took reserve championship. At state fair he got 9th place in ranch horsemanship. Denali has also done contesting for our last year together. He and I learned how to team rope together as well! He’s always been my go - to horse. He really taught me everything I know and anything that I have ever been scared to try, he’s the one that gets me through it!! Denali also used to spend his weekends re-teaching mark how to ride, he has also take mark on a trail ride. Denali has always loved kids, whenever you put a kid on him he stands as still as he possibly can. He’s definitely one of a kind

Our horse of the week is a true gentleman, he has recently moved into our stable with his family and is a pleasure to have in the barn, introducing Rio!

Adara's Diamond Rio - 2001 Morgan gelding

Rio is truly a family horse. Loved by the Hope family, his owner, Jennifer Hope is all he has known his whole life. Born and raised on her family's Morgan farm in Brookville Ohio, it was love at first sight and the beginning of a forever partnership.
This little Morgan was the first equine Jen started from the beginning, and accomplished so much. From trail riding, driving, trick training, parades, cow sorting to a successful show career in hunt, saddleseat, western pleasure, western dressage, carriage, in-hand, amateur, youth, and leadline, he is Mr. Versatility as to what Morgans are know for.
He has been the best baby sitter and show partner when his kids, Kyra and Westley, started taking over their Mom's horse.
Now Rio is semi-retired but enjoys toting around his kids around the beautiful acres of Cedar Lane Farm.

Stop by sometime to visit this amazing show horse who has led a full and active life.
