A horse crazy little girl and a sweet little Arabian who needs a job ... the perfect match!

The Damrauer family was looking for the right horse for 7 year old Emma to love on, to learn to ride and to show, and my La Fame Fatale (Mosqueof Fame x Gallatea by Ariston), aka Teena was ideal. Although Teena had no formal training, she was easy, eager to please and was "kid safe" from her experience at Pony Camp, where she adapted easily to the many "little hands."

In April Teena shipped off to PA to meet her new family and from the outset it was a match made in heaven. Teena settled in, easily took to being back under saddle and blossomed with the loving care from the Damrauers. She has transitioned to the show ring like a pro, and Emma and Teena capped off their first show season with blues and three Championships at the Bottom Dollar Show in PA. Emma and Teena .... the perfect partnership!

Mirage V+++// ended an abbreviated show season on a high note at the Region 3 Sport Horse Championships. For the third straight year, he was Champion Sport Horse Under Saddle in a large class. He was also named Champion Prix St George Dressage horse in one of the most competitive classes that i have seen ... this win was indeed special. And he was Top 5 Sport Horse Stallions in Hand, ranked third in a deep class. Mirage continues to thrive in the show world, sound and happy and enjoying meeting his many fans.

And we are thrilled to announce the accomplishments of Mirage V+++// kids, in their first show season! Congratulations to Megan Frantz of PA and her 2 year old gelding Maska C (Mirage V x Evening Star) on a fabulous start to what promises to be a bright future. In his first show, NC PAHA, he was Reserve Champion Arabian Gelding in Hand. At Shenandoah he garnered two Championships in Gelding Sport Horse in Hand, and receiving the second highest score of 110 goes. He went Top 5 Sport Horse in Hand at Region 15 and will show at the Sport Horse Nationals in KY ... watch for this boy, beautifully handled by Megan Frantz!

Also making a great start is Muraco C (Mirage V x Barbary Ann). This darling gelding was Region 3 - Reserve Champion Sport Horse Under Saddle Jr Horse in his first time out, after qualifying at the pre-show. Just like his Daddy, this boy loved the show experience. Congratulations to "Raco" and Tamara Cook!

Making her debut at the East Coast Championships in August with David Conner is the beautiful 2 year old black filly Anna Miraiah C (Mirage V x Windsong Bey) Owned by Lynn Tucker of NJ, this filly is showing great promise in both Main Ring and Sport Horse ... watch for her now and at at the 2011 Sport Horse Nationals.

Last but not least, we are thrilled to announce the arrival of fabulous Mirage V+++// foals! Congratulations to all! Pictured below is the stunning Amiraj (Mirage V x Rajima Black) Proudly bred and owned by Sue Eves of PA, this July filly is awesome and no doubt will make her mark in the Arabian world.

We are pleased that Mirage V+++// has a full book for 2011 and we invite inquiries for 2012.

Mirage V++// Wins Region 3 Third Level Dressage Championship!

Due to schedule concerns, Mirage was shown in one class only. We trailered in shortly before his ride time and after a brief warm-up he entered the dressage court and had a lovely ride with trainer Jennifer Tobie.

As usual Mirage showed with style and heart and the judge commented that he was "stunning" and "moves beautifully."

WOW!
The much anticipated arrival of the first Mirage V++// / Warmblood cross was everything we hoped for plus! PANDORA C is big and beautiful and a perfect combination of Arabian type and Warmblood power. This filly is a show-stopper!

We extend hearty CONGRATULATIONS to Erica and Cindy Morgan of CA on the purchase of this phenomenal filly. Pandora C and Erica will light up the Sport Horse world.
