Mr. Chips
5.1.1997-11.28.2023

On a beautiful fall day last week, we said goodbye to our beloved Mr. Chips. Originally purchased as a 5 year old to be Ron's driving horse, he became so much more. On his first day as a Carlson, he bit Vanessa, leading her to remark something along the lines of "I don't think I'm going to like this one". She was so very wrong. Chips quickly became a family and farm favorite, stealing hearts with his kind eye, cheerful disposition, big personality and joy for life. There was not a stall door latch he couldn't open, a treat he wouldn't eat, or a sunny spot he wouldn't lie down and take a nap in. He will be missed.

We have several big birthdays to celebrate this month, including three of our super seniors.

Mr Chips turned 25 last Sunday, Wiebekin (ET) by Der Radetzky out of Weibke turned 28 yesterday, and Witta by Wolkenstein out of Scara T by Star Regent turns 26 this Sunday.

Mr. Chips was Ron's driving horse and is known for being able to open any snap or stall door, taking marathon naps and loving everyone.

ET did dressage, driving and was the best mother of all time to her many foals (Fourth Dimension and Fendi by Frohwind, Wiebekka- now Queen's Court, Wiebella, Wiebok and Wretro Grayed, all by Wradar), as well as several foals belonging to other mares.

Witta was owner Barbara's personal riding horse as well as dam of Allouette, Allouette II, Allouette III (all three by Arrian) and Landstrider (by Liberty Gold). She also has several grandchildren but her favorite is Alischka WF by Wradar out of Allouette II.

All three are happily retired and enjoying it to the fullest.

Join me in wishing a very happy 27th birthday (2 days late!) to our queen, the sweetest of horses, easiest of keepers and best of broodmares- Wiebekin.
More commonly known as ET, this beauty is by Der Radetzky out of EM Wiebke. She was the first embryo transfer for Woodridge Farm and our vet Dr Jim Shipman, and to the best of our knowledge, the first equine embryo transfer in the state of Oklahoma.
She excelled in dressage, jumping and carriage driving, but most importantly, she excelled as a broodmare. The most maternal creature we've ever known, ET raised 7 foals of her own and helped to raise all of the foals around her (plus a foal-sized adult pony that she adopted a few years ago).
Since retiring from breeding, ET spends her days in the field with her best friend Witta, cantering up for breakfast each day and always hopeful for a cookie and a cuddle from every human she meets.

While 2020 was a challenging year we do have some favorite memories to share and celebrate- attending Region 2 Championships and getting to see Wranger by Wradar and Picalilly by P*k L out of EM Roccoca shine in the show ring, Holly Luke earning her silver medal on Lust in the Wind by Frohwind, Dior WF by Deklan out of EM Lambada and Mimi Benton moving up to Fourth Level, and the continued success of Double Agent WF and Kay Kamish. Cheers to moving forward into 2021!

Neighbors beware!
Not the clearest photos but this pack of 4 dogs has come onto the farm three times now and attacked our goats and sheep. If anyone recognizes any of them (clearly wearing collars) please have their owners get in touch or at least let them know that their dogs are out killing goats and maiming sheep.
