October 2006

Homebred 2002 stallion, Akos (by Ariadus, out of Minden, a performance tested Premium Holsteiner mare by Lemgo) was re-acquired by Prairie Pines a week before the Holsteiner approvals. At the approvals, even though he was not quite in show shape, he performed with power and style, and got approved. He has been in full dressage and jumping training since and he will debut in the show ring on the Florida circuit this winter.

 

The Central Florida show in Tampa, Florida was a great success for our horses. Lotus T has won and placed very high in the First Year Green Working Hunter classes.
His 4 YO son, Coverboy was Reserve Champion in the Level 4 division, placing 5th in the first two classes with double-clear rounds and winning the Speed Class. On Sunday, he was loned to a 16 YO junior rider, Kate Roddey who had never ridden him before and they took 5th in the USET Talent Search class with precise, harmonious ride in the flat phase and a bold, forward ride in the jumper phase.
Lasting Impression daughter, 4 YO Cindy performed beautifully in the Level 1 and 2 classes, earning blue ribbons along the way.

 

Prairie Pines homebreds dominated the Holsteiner Approvals at Pennock Point Farm, Ocala, FL. Recently re-acquired 4 YO stallion, Akos (Ariadus, out of a performance tested Premium Lemgo daughter, full sister to Lotus T) was approved as a breeding stallion.
Cornelius, a 2 YO Camiros son did the stallion Pre-Test and received high scores, including 8's for his free jumping.
