Travola was presented at the KWPN-NA keuring on September 7, 2008 and received some of the top scores for the day.  She received an amazing 80 points for Conformation (15 out of 19 conformation evaluations were within the "ideal" range of the Linear Scoring), 65 points for Walk, 70 points for Canter, and 75 points for Trot with obvious marks for her powerful trot impulsion.  She was exempt from free jumping as she already had obtained her Sport predicate based on her past competition record.  Travola was awarded First Premium and is eligible to receive her Star and subsequently Keur and Prok predicates.  She recently completed the required x-ray component to receive her Star Prok.  She will be presented in future years for the Keur class as well (hopefully alongside her Chin Chin foal).  Photos have been added to Travola's Photo Page and a video of her huge trot will soon be available.

Our imported Swedish Warmblood buckskin group of Catapult,  Clair de Lune, and Jamaica were presented to the Swedish Warmblood Association on October 7, 2008.  The girls were presented for broodmare evaluation and Catapult for a pre-breeding evaluation (he is only 2 years of age and is not eligible for stallion presentation for another year).  Both Clair de Lune and Jamaica scored extremely well and were awarded a Premium B designation - the highest predicate a non-diploma broodmare can receive at an inspection.  Clair de Lune had been inspected as a 2-year old and so was not given any scores but had outstanding comments including a personal comment from the judges, "Exceptional condition for having 7 foals!"  The judges asked me to please bring the mares back in the future with some dressage-bred foals due to the girls' outstanding pedigrees.  New photos of Clair de Lune and Jamaica are available on their respective photo pages.

Catapult was presented to a pre-breeding inspection to get a better idea of whether or not he would be considered a stallion prospect.  Catapult received outstanding scores with 3 scores of "8" for "Head, Neck, Body", "Walk", and "Trot".  He scored 45 points earning him a Class I designation, the highest designation a horse under 3-years of age can receive.  We will be bringing him back to the stallion inspection as a 4-year old.  New photos of Catapult are now available on his photo page.
