2009- Minglewood had five new foals this year, all born in April ! (Please see '2009 Foals" for info and photos). All of the foals are healthy and everything we had hoped for. Four of the foals will be for sale at weaning (see 'Sale Horses'). Ting, Comet Rose and Calinda are all safely in foal for 2010.
8/20/09- Congratulations to Denny Emerson on the purchase of Valonia (Contester/Ariadus/Marlon). Valonia will be ridden by Lila Gendal. We are excited about our first venture into the world of 3-day eventing, and look forward to following Valonia's career !
8/22/09- Weaning time for the foals. Rollando is exhibiting incredible jumping ability as he has jumped over his stall wall (4'6") three times ! It took an extra two boards (12") to convince him to stay in. I know what his career will be !
9/9-9/10/09- Calixto went to his first breed show at HITS in Saugerties. He was very brave and extremely well behaved. He received scores in the 70s and improved in each class he competed in. We were very happy with him! You can see photos on his sale page.
10/1/09- AHHA inspection at the beautiful Winley Farm in Millbrook. Rollando stayed home due to a small laceration in a difficult location. The other four weanlings went and did well, though they lacked confidence going into the huge indoor arena alone. Three year old Wandah was inspected and made the premium mare book with scores of: 7,7,6,6,6,7,8 for a total of 47. Wandah was Site Champion! She also free jumped and in spite of only two practice sessions got good scores of 7 (technique), 7 (willingness) and 8 (scope).
4/15/10- Ting foaled a lovely filly by Chevalier !
