Our pretty filly Birdie (Uberlottie M) has outgrown the "baby" halters and moved into the one she will wear for her keuring in September. Looking forward to seeing DeAnna Stueve Greulich and the wonderful folks at Norwegian Hill Farm for this fun and educational event.

Birdie is by Victor E (Indoctro - Nimmerdor) and out of our Lottie line mare Imalottie SPF ster PROK (Zavall - Goodtimes). Great to see those super bloodlines right before our eyes!

The beautiful and talented Ottumwa M, a favorite foal of Maefield Farm, is wowing them in California. Super smart and amazingly calm, five-year-old "Tumi" is a model of composure for stablemates twice her age.

Ottumwa's 2019 keuring photo with her beautiful dam, Zorphee keur, represents one of our treasured moments. Tumi was awarded Champion Jumper Foal in the US by KWPN - NA for her top score in foal keuring. She was and is something special!

Meals on wheels. Got restocked on hay this weekend. The brome grass is thick. A wet July has caused delays in putting up hay, but the growth conditions were good and it has good leaf content. We are fortunate to have so much good hay produced locally. We really appreciate our "hay guys."

Any similarities in these 2 photos? Top is Ottumwa M in Nov 2021.  Bottom is her full brother, Sandulf M, taken today.  ...

Any similarities in these 2 photos? Top is Ottumwa M in Nov 2021. Bottom is her full brother, Sandulf M, taken today. These 2 beauties are both Dulf vd Bisschop x Zorphee keur. Ottumwa ("Tumi") received Champion Jumper Foal at her keuring in 2019. Sandulf ("Sandy") missed his 2022 foal keuring due to Covid cancellation.

In addition to their beautiful conformation and superb jumping ability, both siblings are calm and willing students. The bottom photo shows Sandy's first wearing of a saddle from this morning.

Both Tumi and Sandy are owned by our favorite fellow-DVM repeat buyer in southern California. Maefield horses from sea to shining sea! Sandy remains with us in Missouri for now, enjoying his c**t playmates and getting an excellent start with our expert trainer, Hope Saldaña.

Baby's first rainstorm. After a very wet spring, it's been mostly dry here since Uberlottie M ("Birdie") was born on 30 May. So she's watching this evening's thunderstorm with interest. Our horses always station themselves on their porches facing out to the storm. Well, except for dam Imalottie SPF, who's hungry.

Uberlottie M is by Victor E (Indoctro - Nimmerdor), a 1.60 m jumper. Aside from his stellar pedigree, Victor E was chosen to add a bit more height and length to Birdie. Happy to report that it appears to have worked, at least the back length part.

First outing for 3 day old filly by Victor E (Indoctro) out of Imalottie SPF (Zavall VDL). The filly was a bit colicky and spent 2 nights at the https://www.facebook.com/MUEquineClinic. She's home now and full of s***k, just like her mom. Big thank you to Drs. Townsend and Gonzalez and their team for caring for our baby!

Spring photo updates for the Bear (Urselectra M)! What you don't see in these photos are her exceptional mind (very rational and intelligent) and her athleticism (updated videos coming soon).

Beautiful hunter Bonne Amie M is steadily adding to her ribbon collection. Bonnie is a 2018 Westfalen mare from the Maefield Farm breeding program. She inherited major hunter talent from both her sire, Balt'Amour, and her conformation hunter dam, La De Da. We remember Bonnie as a sweet and inquisitive youngster. So happy to see her succeeding in her career.

Desiderata M (Dicaprio-Wolkenstein II) takes a break from flatwork and dressage training to jump around the cross country course at Queeny Park. Thanks to Hope Saldaña and Marta Andersen Tobler who are building a solid foundation for this lovely mare. We are so proud of Sid! You could be proud of her too: https://warmblood-sales.com/horse/desiderata-m. Check Sid out in person next weekend at the April at the Arch dressage show at The National Equestrian Center.

2023 Colts Archie and Denny recently moved to the Maefield boy barn where they're settling in nicely with their supervisor, the young stallion Sandy. If you're considering a young horse, we offer a reasonable care and training package to prepare them for a future in sport. More information on these c**ts in the links below. PM us for information about our young horse care options.

Where's the tooth fairy? On a recent evening, our broodmare Imalottie SPF was drooling and making unusual jaw movements at grain time. She had no signs when eating hay 20 minutes earlier. So after her dinner (which she finished), we brought out the dental equipment, sedated her, and did an oral exam. We were expecting to find a foreign body, but not this one. It's a slab fracture of the last molar on upper right (tooth #111). The tooth fragment was in the cheek space. Note how the enamel folds project above the surface.

Imalottie recovered well and is chewing normally now. We will keep watch for any pain or swelling in the area in case the molar has a fracture that we couldn't see. So far, so good.

Update from CA: Gorgeous and talented Ottumwa M (Dulf van den Bisschop-Corland-Indoctro) shows her stuff in the chute. "Tumi" was the top-rated jumper foal in 2019 KWPN - NA keuring tour. Her full brother, Sandulf M, is a 2022 carbon copy of Tumi. He's growing up with his boy buddies at Maefield. He's just as personable and beautifully conformed as his sister. Sandulf will eventually join Tumi in CA.

The old horsehand's saying that "foals only grow when they are sleeping" may contain more truth than we knew. Turns out that growth hormone release does take place mostly at night during slow-wave sleep.

Our 2023 c**t is certainly doing his share of sleeping and growing. Transcendent M ("Denny") is a big boy who's getting bigger! He's also personable and beautifully conformed. See more info at https://warmblood-sales.com/horse/2023-jumper-c**t-imothep-x-imalottie-spf

Denny is the big guy lying in sternal recumbency in the center of the bed (top photo). His daytime look is more animated (bottom).

Who's more handsome--Archie or Archie?

We think our Archie is just as handsome, charming, and debonair as the late Cary Grant (originally named Archie Leach). Along with his gorgeous face, equine Archie (Arpeggio M) is athletic, personable, and has perfect hunter gaits. He's quite the spitting image of his sire, Apiro.

Check out the Maefield Archie--he can be your extraordinary leading man for 2024!
