Cycle of Life, Part 2 at Emerald Hills
Speaking of Major Precision...this is his 2020 foal out of Jaleesah Aljassimya! We're still observing her personality to find the right name, but we all sure enjoyed watching her and mom enjoy some time out of the mare hotel! It's beautiful here in Cali - 82 degrees, hills still green and a slight breeze coming to cool down the day!
Playing with Alex on New Years Day!
๐ช๐ฒ๐น๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ต! We started the New Year by visiting the Azevedo Ranch and playing with our handsome stud, Aur Mystic Alexander! Ed loved that Alex was in his usual playful mood and quite happy to see his favorite human!

MonoLissa
The things that are possible when we pass through those imaginary boundaries! This is what EH MonoLissa learned today as she was liberated from the mare pen! She is by Major Precision out of MTR Sophie and a Monogramm granddaughter. LOOK at her dance! About two minutes in is another favorite from our 2018 Foal Crop - EH Lillia (by Major Precision out of MWF Illuminacja).
Echo Afire leading the pack!
Our yearlings were full of spirit this afternoon when the springtime wind kicked up! Echo Afire (by Major Precision out of MWF Illuminacja) seemed to be leading the pack in their antics. She reminds us so much of her Sire in movement, markings and charisma! Also pictured are A Love Affair (grey), Enya (bay) and Majors Testarossa (2016 chestnut filly). When the camera cuts left, you see Aul Vanity (our Crabbet Stud who started Emerald Hills Arabians way back in the day) and Sparkling Jim, also a yearling, who realized he is all-male and had to be seperated from his little band of hooligans about a week ago!
Testarossa Turned Out!
Major Testarossa's movement goes well with EDM, so keep your volume low if you don't like that kind of music! BUT...if you like the sound, visual AND feeling of 'fast' - Enjoy this filly's spring turnout! ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฌ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ 2017 ๐ง๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ ๐ค๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ - ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต๐ด ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ!
Addendum...Nevermind! Facebook muted my soundtrack - ha!
EH Lilia Afire
Born April 10 - Meet our precious ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ! Already representing some of her sire and mare's greatest traits - flash, grace, arching neck, and the sweetest and most engaging personality! We look forward to seeing this beauty grow! In this short video, she wants to learn more about a carrot that her mare just nibbled. Breeding is Major Precision out of MWF Iluminacja - superb pedigree!
A Warm Spring Welcome to EH Smoke & Fire!
We welcome EH Smoke & Fire! He's a truly spectacular colt with the greatest aspects of both his sire (Major Precision) and dame (CP Calligraphy by Monogramm). Every look he gives comes with sheer poise! Beautiful form, flashy markings, long candy cane neck and personality by the scores!! What a great way to bring in the 2018 foaling season!
Sparkling Gem aka "Jimmy"
All the babes are finally together in the new foal pen! Easy to tell since they are all different. Echo is black, Enya is Bay and Lovie is rose gray. But today, we want to introduce you to our little chestnut! Meet EH Sparkling Gem ("Jimmy")โฆhe is our June colt out of ANJ Sparkling Silver by Aur Mystic Alexander! So much promise in this spry babe! Plenty of float, tail held high on solid hind end and flashy as can be!
Jake meets the Foal Crop
We had the immense pleasure of finally meeting our long-time friend's grandson, Jake, this past week! Jake was diagnosed with juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma at the age of 16 months. He has endured much in his 14 years but you would never know this by his demeanor! Jake 4-wheeled out on his own to meet the moms/babes, fed them and then proceeded to charm us with his wit during a mid-day picnic! Read more about Jake and his favorite sport TOPSoccer in this article: http://www.mercurynews.com/2011/09/22/topsoccer-in-san-jose-creates-opportunities-for-disabled-youngsters-to-play-soccer/
And we were very pleased that the spirit of the Arabian was alive and well during this encounter. Each mare - Rose, Lili, Sierra and each of their foals - Lovie, Echo and Enya were so incredible sweet and gentle with Jake! It brings tears to my eyes as I type this that the incredible nature of this fiery-natured equine can be so soft when the time calls for it!
VERY EXCITED!! Not only were we blessed with LOVELY foals this year, we also finally completed our Mare/Foal Pen!! This weekend we were able to have a grand opening (of the gate) and let the moms and babes in for the first time. The equine stars in this video are: Aur Mystic Sierra with Major Infatuation (both chestnuts), JKF Tempting Rose with EH A Love Affair (gray foal) and MWF Illuminacja with EH Echo Afire (black foal)! All foals were sired by Major Precision and we are SO much looking forward to how they progress!
My goodness, LOOK at EH Echo Afire (by Major Precision out of MWF Iluminacja, "Lily") effortlessly doing what Arabs do best - sincerely pleasing to our eyes! Cannot wait to see what exciting days are ahead for this little filly!!!
Moonshine
FOR SALE - Last time you saw Moonshine he was rearing, running and feeling great after his morning meal! Moonshine is now offered up for sale as a 2015 gelding. He should mature to 15.0-15.1 and is a National Champion-caliber colt. He is sired by Aul Vanity (by multi-champion Aul Magic) and is out of JKF Tempting Rose. You may know that Rose is an A. Temptation daughter and out of Primroza Afire (who goes back to Afire Bey V).
Aside from a great pedigree, he has the movement as well - top and bottom - and a great temperament!
The video was filmed 4/1 shortly after the California rains had Moonshine stalled up for weeks. He was happy to get out with all his fans watching!
Call Ed at 408-781-2928 for pricing.
Major Moves!
Major Precision shows off his stuff! Thanks to Todd and Darlene Azevedo (and Mike!) for keeping Major well groomed and sleek regardless of the muddy and wet California weather.
Here Comes Major
Here Comes Major! And we'll have 4 of his foals hit ground at our ranch in late Spring! Thank you Todd Azevedo for handling Major today!
Introducing EH Magic Aulrab
Introducing this foxy colt - EH Magic Aulrab. He is a 2014 Chestnut Gelding, AHA #666654 and currently on our sales list. As stated on our website, he is personable with big movement and aims to please at any discipline. He has good manners, and stands well for the vet and farrier. He has been started with ground work and is ready to go in any direction. That direction is up to you!
Moonshine's Anticipation
Meet EH Silver Moonshine, our year-old colt! He is sired by Aul Vanity out of JKF Tempting Rose. Rose is one of our outcross mares who was sired by A Temptation and out of Primroza Afire, very fine lineage in that breeding!
While Moonshine is usually a rather laid-back and patient colt, he chose this particular morning to display his movement while anticipating his flake.
