Meet Our Horses:

These friendly equestrians are the reason we do what we do.  Below are just a few of the horses and ponies we have.  Check back often as we continue to add more!

Bubbles In A Bottle, "Bubbles" (below) is a eleven year old, top of the line small Welsh cross pony mare.  She is owned by Leanne and is one of the best producing broodmares on the farm.  She has had four foals to date.  Her first two by Triple Hill, and her third and fourth offspring by Fox Cry Rose Cummerbund.  Bubbles has passed her fabulous temperament, willing attitude and friendly personality on to all her children.  They have all been wonderful to work with, quiet and very easy to train.  Which has been proven in her first two offspring as they have been started under saddle.  After taking the last year off Bubbles has been brought 'back to work' and is helping to teach beginner riders at Flying Change PHP.

Triple Treat, "Coco" is a lovely 2005 crossbred pony out of our beloved broodmare "Bubbles" and by "Triple Hill" a leading pony sire in the US.  Coco has been started under saddle in the spring of 2008, by Brandon Hill and is turning into a wonderful boy.  He has a wonderful quiet personality and a very willing attitude.  He competed in his first hunter show and took everything in stride and brought home several ribbons.  Coco is becoming a quick favorite with the children and we look for him to do great things in the future!

Benlea Perl,  "Perl" (below) is a middle age section B Welsh mare who is by Liseter Carnelian (who is USEF ranked sire of large pony hunter "Newsworthy")  that is here on loan from Capstones Farm for the 2008 breeding season. She comes from the farm that produce the small pony hunter champion " Pony Dot Com".   We are so excited to see what this lovely mare and Teddy will produce in 2009!  Several of Perl's past foals have gone on to be champion hunter ponies.  Her 2007 gray colt "Capstones At Last" by Benlea Cotillion a medium welsh hunter sire has also joined Perl.  Look for him to join our show string in 2008.   Thank you Capstone Farm and Diana for this wonderful opportunity!

Cinnamon (below) is a young Appaloosa cross mare. Rescued from an neglectful home.  She is the sweetest girl ever and the children absolutely love her!  She has a special way with the timid smaller riders but is also a lot of fun for the more advance students that like to jump or do cross country!  Watch for more pictures of her in the future as she matures and fills out!

 

Windy Rocks B-day Baby, Whinny (below) is a thirteen year old POA mare on loan from Kathy Waltemire.  She is a been there done that pony.  Whinny has done everything from Hunters to Western Pleasure to Driving.  She has taught many many children over the years become the riders they are today.  She is currently taking some time off and is expecting her second foal in May 2008 by Welsh stallion Janas Kernal Of Independence. 

T.M. Doc Doodles, "Doc Doodles" (below), has been a welcome addition to our list of horses after we had to return Doodah to her owner to perform her broodmare responsibilities.   He has been with us for about a year and a half and will not be going anywhere.  Doodles is one of those multi-taskers with his quiet and patient temperament and on a weekly basis his job includes helping with lead liners, trail rides, western pleasure, pony rides here and there, babysitter for the foals and his favorite jumping. He has also help so many riders get their first ribbons in the show ring and has even competed in cross country and jumper classes!  So if you ever come to the farm to visit please be sure to bring Doodles a carrot or a peppermint (those are his favorite!)  He has been a wonderful blessing and  we are blessed to have him join our family and friends.  I think he will be starting up his own fan club...check back later for details!
 

Kirby (below), is a 12 year old Standard bred gelding.  He came to us in the fall of 2007 from an old friend of mine.  Although I am not a fan of the breed, Kirby is so sweet and quiet that I couldn't pass him up.  He is quickly becoming a top favorite with the children at the barn and even the adults!  He like Doodles is a multi-tasker, he loves to trail ride, jump, go cross country and be fussed with.  He went to his first show in November and was a wonderful boy! 

Fox Cry Gadabout "Lena" (below) is owned by Leanne. She is a registered Section B Welsh filly with wonderful bloodlines.  She was purchased from our dear friend Adele Bailey.  Lena has started her show career with a bang.  First time out she was reserve young filly at Bel Air Welsh Classic.  She has always been first or second in her class.  She has also been reserve champion or champion at Penn Marydel, MD Pony Breeders, Howard County Fair and Maryland State Fair. Lena was MPB 2006 2 year old High Point  Champion!!  She was 2007 MD state Reserve champion mare on both Welsh day and Hunter breeding. She is one in a million!  She is the princess of the barn and certainly plays the part. She has been started lightly under saddle in the fall of 2006.  Lena has gotten her first Reserve Champion at her 2nd under saddle show in August 2008!  Many thanks to her rider Sam Eichhorn.

Davric Matilda "Tilly" (below) is a 10 year old registered Section A welsh mountain mare owned by Leanne.  We are very excited to add her to our broodmares.  She has been a broodmare most of her life and has also be shown a few times.  She was Champion at Penn Marydel as a two year old, along with some other wins in her short career.  She is a very pretty roan who also produced a lovely chestnut filly  FC Gingerbread Baby in April by  Brookside Megastar, a 1998 Canadian Champion.   Tilly gave birth to a lovely roan colt by Fox Cry Rose Cummerbund, she is back in foal to him for a 2009 foal.  We would like to thank Straubairy Acres for allowing us to purchase her!  Look for her babies in the future!

Noble Blessing "Twix"  (below) is a 4 year old small blood bay Thoroughbred mare by the stallion Close Up.  She was rescued from New Jersey with two other TB mares.  When she first came she was very thin, covered in rain rot and hadn't had much handling.  She has since blossomed is a very sweet mare who loves attention.  She has been started under saddle and  bred to Fox Cry Rose Cummerbund.  *Update* Twix gave birth to a lovely half Welsh colt in June.  He is everything we've been waiting for and more and Twix is a fabulous first time mother!

"Foxy" (below) is a 5 year old dark bay Thoroughbred mare that came to us from a farm that was finding homes for their lesson horses.  I went to see her and when the woman told me she was used for beginner lessons. I rolled my eyes, not too many young horses work for beginners, and especially TB mares!  She has by far exceed my expectations.  She is the SWEETEST mare I have ever met and has quickly found a spot in my heart.  She has to make sure whenever anyone is in the field that she comes over to visit with them.  My only complaint is her size, she is HUGE.  Currently stands 16.2 and a 1/2 and is built like a tank!  Not only sweet but she is a darling to ride and she takes everything is stride!  She is a must see when you visit the farm.  She will be bred to Rhythm & Blues a Dutch Warmblood stallion owned by Heritage Manor Farm in 2008.  We had the pleasure of getting to know R&B while he stayed at Flying Change PHP for a couple of months over the summer, before heading to Canada.   Third picture is of R&B and Leanne.
