Meet our newest addition!Diamondhead x Blair (Beltano x Warranty-Success) filly was born June 18. She is perfect in every way and will make someone a dream come true dressage prospect. PM if interested! You can also see her at Oakwood Farm Mare & Foal inspection August 1.

As usual, we had an absolutely incredible inspection this week! The judges were exceptional and so educational, and the horses were truly a top-notch group.

Champion MPT and champion Hanoverian mare was Wintersweet (Widmark x Flair/Fidertanz), bred by Meg Williams and owned by Dana Jensen. She is a lovely, athletic mare with a heart of gold, and we have been so honored to raise her!

Champion non-Hanoverian mare was Shaney Mahaney, a gorgeous Thoroughbred who also laid down a very respectable performance test. It was her first ever overnight trip, but you'd never have known!

Top c**t and Gold Medal foal DaBell Ringer (Danciano x Blair/Beltano), bred and owned by Cindy Kidd DVM, put on quite a show! We had front-row seats to his full anthology of athletic maneuvers, but eventually he settled enough to show his real stuff. He is a future superstar!

Top filly and Gold Medal foal Honorine KFX (Herzensdieb x Sole Fiore KFX/Scuderia), bred and owned by Kevin and Melinda Kelly, was an absolute stunner! She was charming and sweet to be around with showstopping movement.

Gold Medal foal Fashion Designer (Fabregas x Flair/Fidertanz), bred and owned by Meg Williams, showed us why Flair is a fan favorite broodmare!

Honorable mention: the lovely Wicked Lady (Widmark x Downtown Delight/Don Schufro) was more than a champion to us! She has been a dependable broodmare for the past three years, but a couple of weeks ago she took on a second job in order to complete the MPT she was unable to at three (due to a well-timed hoof abscess). Despite having a foal still at foot, she stepped up to the plate in a big way and earned her Premium title! She earned a 7 for walk, 7.5 for trot, 7.5 for canter, and an impressive 8 for rideability. She is a superb example of the value of a Widmark daughter in breeding as well as in sport.

Thank you to everyone who came and made it a great day! Thank you as well to BUCKEYE Nutrition for sponsoring this year's tour!

I am so happy with this c**t out of my Beltano mare (by Danciano). He s in my face every time I’m with him but I love the attitude! He backs in like a “beep beep” bulldozer for “butt” scratches! Totally cracks me up. He loves hugs! Watch his athleticism!!

Did somebody ask for tall, dark, and handsome?? Our friends over at Hickory Hill Hanoverian Farm, LLC were gracious enough to show off for a photo shoot this morning, and baby did not disappoint! He is a friendly, nice-moving prospect who will make someone very happy. Three very correct gaits, good bone, and a great personality make him a born winner, and he should be quite tall!

I had a very nice Mother’s Day this year! I bred Blair (Beltano x Warranty-Success) to Danciano and couldn’t be more happy with this baby! He is a black and “blingy” c**t born Friday before Mother’s Day .
Thanks to Meg Williams at Oakwood Farm for a successful breeding! Blair is back at Oakwood to repeat the breeding to Danciano. Can’t wait to see how this little one turns out:) So far I’m loving it 🥰

06/14/2022

Thanks Meg Williams, Cassie Goyer (best photographer ever) and folks at Oakwood Farm! It’s time to breed Blair again so off we went to Oakwood. Danciano is our “man” again as I had a second dose of semen from last year! I do believe it was a great match!

Thanks to Meg and her expertise getting Blair in foal with frozen! Can’t wait to get them both back home to snuggle with baby though 🥰

I had the most perfect weekend!! My sister from Oklahoma, my youngest son, Alex, and my hubby Larry were all at the Kentucky Dressage Festival to support me through the 3 days of competition.

Thanks Alex and Larry for working so hard to pamper me all weekend:)

It has been 3 years since I have seen my baby sister (4 years younger), and my heart was just filled with pure joy when she decided to make the trip!! Parkinson’s has unfairly chosen to take away much of my sister’s s***k (not that she doesn’t try) so to get my time with her has been a HUGE blessing to me! She loves horses as much as I do so it was the perfect venue for both of us to hang out.

Lira was a superstar again!! On day one and two she won both her classes. On day three we competed in the Regional Finals and came home with 8th place ribbon! The Rolex Arena was a blast to compete in.

08/23/2021

Lira and Diamond came through again over the weekend at Hoosier Horse Park in Indianapolis to qualify in their divisions for Regionals! Thanks Oakwood Farms ! I’m so glad the girls hang in there to travel so far each week to learn new goals! We all 3 love our journey!!

(This isn't even all of them!)

Everybody was amazing at the Hoosier Horse Park this weekend!

07/31/2021

Thanks to Equus Now! for the Kincaid Padded Dressage Bridle! I lucked out and won the drawing for one of the prizes this week. Lira loved being a bridle model today. I think she loves the goodies I bring home from Equus as much as I do!

Had a great weekend with friends from Oakwood Farm at the Majestic Farm Dressage show. Thanks to Meg Williams, friend, coach and most knowledgeable horsewoman I know! Many thanks to Lisa Baker for screaming out my tests so I could help my “girls” through their patterns. And thanks to Larry for his support and Ellyn, Linda and everyone who jumped in to help me get ready for my classes! Lira and Diamond were both Rock Stars in their tests! It was Diamond’s first time out and after starting her this spring she is all I could hope for.

I have to share some photos of the girls. I took Blair and "Whinnybell" to Oakwood Farm to breed Mommy Blair on Thursday and get some lesson time on Diamond. Meg, Cassie and Lisa took these great photos of my girls! Thank you for making my day:) I always feel like I have come home when I go to Oakwood. And I love my Widmark babies so much! Mom Blair may be a broodmare but she still has some moves with that uphill canter🥰.

My Grandma Cindy put 3 big piles of shavings in the stall. I had so much fun playing “man on the mountain!! It was also juuust right for a 💤 😴 nap.”

05/02/2021

If I twirl my tail really hard it winds me up! Yippeeeee!

05/02/2021

I love dancing!!!

Lira just wants to check out her new little cousin, but Blair doesn’t think it’s a good idea...

05/02/2021

“Ok, I have this!”
Mommy Blair is very protective and always gets between the threat and moves baby away (Lira is next door).

05/02/2021

First morning to see the great outdoors. “Wow, I have to check this out!”

05/02/2021

Popping up is the easy part; it’s the getting back down that’s hard🥺

05/02/2021

Wouldn’t it be great if humans could pop up and run around right after birth?

05/02/2021

Baby Blair was born May 26th at 10:55 pm. She is like most Widmark Hanoverians with a great personality already. The miracle of life never ceases to amaze me. Caution, this video is a live birth for those who don’t like that sort of thing:)

I had to share the "New Vocations" newsletter with you all! Larry adopted a horse last year and he calls him "Waki" as that was his nickname on the racetrack. He has fallen head over heals for him and I am ecstatic that he loves his horse as much as I do mine! Read page 3, "Wakizashi Hanover" and see Larry aboard his new best friend!! Waki is a sweetheart and apparently loves Larry too. He waits and watches for him, looking up the hill and becomes so excited and nickers when he sees Larry top the hill. So cute.
