Arabella (Rio x Bella) was weaned today! Big girl! She looks like she might be 2 inches from being the same size as her mom. Bella is only 13.1HH. A small gal, but she produces very nice babies.

Victoria (Cesaré x Arista) doing really well in her saddle training!

Lucrezia is home! Red dun mare from my breeding program. She is by Cesaré and out of Lady Diana. Sweet as pie and enjoys people and learning.

Fun with Rio yesterday.

Lucrezia being worked today by a trainer. She enjoyed her work and seemed to really enjoy being worked under saddle. This was Lucrezia's first time! A very sweet mare is what her trainer said of her. Very smart and wants to engage with you. Lucrezia is by Cesaré and out of Lady Diana. She is going to be a spectacular mare.

My boy Diaz was sticked at 13.3HH. Again, the trainer with him is 6'1".

Arabella is by Rio and out of Bella showing off her large size that she inherited from her sire.

Moving onto Bella. She sticked at 13.1HH. She is the size I thought she was. :) Again, the trainer with her is 6'1".

Got the official height for Rio. His presence makes him look bigger than he is. He is 14.2HH. The gal holding him is 6'1" in her boots. She is a trainer I've used to help me with Rio and some of my other horses. While he is 2" off of 15HH, he is still an excellent sized stallion with a lot of presence, which gives the idea that he is bigger than he is.

She just turned 6 months old. I think she has gotten quite a bit of size from her 15HH sire. Lol Thank you, Rio!

I love stripes. Lol Arabella (Rio x Bella) this morning.

08/27/2024

Valentina (Dragon x Bella) looking fluffy this morning. Lol She is little, but still bigger than her mom. I think she is 14HH. Bella is a shrimp at 13.1HH.

Bella and Arabella. Looking good! I've been able to keep Bella fat and plump during her time nursing Arabella, which has been relieving. Arabella is a *big* girl! Bella is only about 13.1HH, but Arabella's sire Rio is 15HH. That's why she is so big at only 5 months old. She will be 6 months old later this month. I'm hoping that Arabella gets to at least 14.2HH. She will be weaned soon.

Lucrezia today at the trainer's barn. She has calmed down considerably.
