Persephone is one of those fillies that is beautiful even dirty. 😍

To say we are happy with this girl and her outstanding temperament is an understatement. Smart and loving, she is the first horse to the gate and follows you around the paddock. Nothing is more important to this girl than people and attention and she works hard to give you the right answer when given an ask.

We are not expecting any foals this year, and Mikimoto will also be left open an additional year while she is getting some under saddle training, but we are already looking forward to what she gifts us next time.

Happy Holidays!

It's been a busy summer and we have not posted many photos of the babies this year but here are a couple of Persephone!

Persephone is a very sweet blue roan filly that is such a pleasure to be around. She loves scratches more than any horse we have laid eyes on, and will work hard to learn what you are teaching her if there is some loving in it for her! ♡

Khal has been learning some ropes and as we work with him we fall for him more and more. Khal is a really smart and thoughtful guy. During our lessons, which he always picks up on quickly, he takes the time to think about things and work them out without getting overly upset.
Along side that he is very independent (which mom is not happy about) and eager to explore the world. The braveness and certainty we see in him makes him very engaging to watch, and we can easily see a future where this c**t is shown and loves every minute of it.

Khal is photographed here at 6 days

Beautiful Persephone at 3 days old 💜

This filly has stolen our hearts with her sweet temperament and loving personality. SD Mikimoto has knocked it out the park again with this one, and SRS Poseidon's babies are notoriously wonderful in temperament.

Another shot of Khal at 6 days old 🥰

This handsome guy is looking great at a month old now and we cant wait to do some updated pictures later this summer.

Khal is playful and eager to take on each day and make it his own. He is one of those c**ts you can sit and watch for hours.

We call this one Persephone around the barn.. and she is sweet as sweet can be. These photos were taken when she was only 3 days old and still finding her legs and filling out, but already we were smitten. This blue roan filly checks all the boxes for us and is another perfect example of the temperament on a well bred gypsy.
We can't wait to see her fill out as she grows! 💜

Khal at 6 days old showing the world what great things are made of. This little firecracker is going to turn out to be a thick handsome guy with all kinds of presence. We can't wait to see him dominate in the show ring. 🤩

Our foals are all brought up being handled multiple times a day and will go to their new families well halter broke, bathing, tying, and used to being kept inside or out. We spend lots of time getting them used to the things that they might encounter in life; whether they head out to the trails or into the show ring. Above all else we value manners and instill good habits from the start.

Happy Monday - Do like Khal and take on the week head first and fancy free!

This blue eyed boy is always up for an adventure, games, play, or snuggles. Don't even think of trying to pass his paddock without stopping in for a visit or he will let you know all about it. Whenever we are down or just need a pick-me-up, all we need do is go kick the ball around for him and its hard not to cheer up at his antics.

Khal sure loves the camera and was all for showing off when the photographer came. This handsome guy is now nearly 3 weeks old, but these photos were taken at only 6 days after his birth!

Khal is an attractive black c**t with nothing to prove, and he knows it. With lineage to back him up and already as thick as this, its no wonder. His dam is our SD Painted Princess who has wonderful bone and feather, and he is sired by the outstanding SD Empire of River Lane Ranch . Top it off with a signature blue eye (just like his parents) plus a bonus partial blue eye for good measure, and you have one heck of a package.

Khal will be looking for new pastures once weaned.

Peekaboo from Baby Persephone who loves a good cuddle, scratch, or anything that involves people. ♡

When you breed for important traits like temperament, this is what you get. SRS Poseidon routinely passes on his kind easy going demeanor; Our SD Mikimoto is chill as a horse can be and nothing phases her, while still managing to be soft and sweet. Miki's prior foal came out a carbon copy of her temperament and this one is much the same.

Khal is as ready for the weekend fun as can be!
Here's hoping everyone's weekend has a little free time to enjoy oneself, just like Khal.

Khal is quite the character. Comical, fun loving, and friendly. Khal is always first to the gate and often with a whinny to let you know he is on his way. This handsome guy is honestly more dog than horse and its hard not to fall head over heels for him.

We have a very special announcement to make!

Just before mother's day ended Princess gifted us with a beautiful black c**t. Momma and baby are doing great.

Let us introduce to you:

We call him Khal.

Khal is checking all the boxes for us and we are over the moon. Sweet and friendly with just the right amount of spice, this little guy is taking on the world like a king. His blue eye, on the matching side to his mom's, is just icing on the cake.
Keep an eye out for more of this handsome dude to come! 😍

SD Painted Princess aka Peach looking pretty as usual while she waits for her bath.

Meanwhile, we are eagerly awaiting her baby to arrive. This year Princess will be having an SD Empire foal and we are just thrilled!

03/05/2023

While we wait for our girls to foal, we are reminded to appreciate everything we have around us.

DAA Alabaster at Midnight is really growing up to be a big and handsome guy. This c**t is solid as a brick house with a mind on him that is much the same. He takes everything in stride, and is so laid back that he makes handling a breeze.
Did we mention his abundance of feather? 🤩

This year SD Mikimoto, Alabaster's Dam, is bred to SRS Poseidon and we know they will have cooked up something special for us.

27/04/2023

These lovely ladies are in the maternity paddock during this wet weather, while we impatiently await their special deliveries.

This weekend the farm will be busy with much needed spring spring baths for these two!

SD Mikimoto (bay sabino) is due May 15th, while SD Painted Princess (Black Tobiano) is due May 19th. Stay tuned for some very exciting announcements when those special babies arrive!

SD Painted Princess

We are anxiously awaiting spring over here.. not only because we have some exciting foals on the way- but because spring is bath season and the herd could certainly use a couple! 🌻

Who doesn't love a good nap in the middle of the day? 💤

This handsome guy is all about the naps and the cuddles. He makes getting the yard chores done pretty difficult. 😍

Winter may not be our favourite season, but yet, there is certainly something magical about it..

SD Painted Princess

03/02/2023

Tomorrow is Friday, the weekend is near, and we have babies on the brain!

SD Painted Princess is in foal to the one and only SD Empire (of River Lane Ranch ) and we could not be more thrilled! Both of these horses are truly magnificent examples of the gypsy breed and we can't wait to see what magic they have cooking for us.

This foal will be black, or black tobiano, and we expect an estimated mature height of around 14hh.

We will have to wait a while yet, as Princess is not due till mid May - but we are sure it will be well worth the wait.

We have a couple names on the wait list for this one, but if you would like to be added and contacted when the foal arrives just shoot us a message.
