This message is from: Vivian Creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello List,
We are home from Holland and England. The big front page news was and I'm sure still is the outbreak of Hoof&Mouth Disease in Great Britain. It was the leading news story in both countries. We arrived home to news of an earthquake in Washington. I'm so glad that everyone in that area is alright. Sounds like some of you were right in the middle of the action... My exciting news is I bought two mares and a stud colt while I was in Holland. Ofcourse my intentions had been to buy only one mare for myself but I couldn't help myself. My husband who accompanied me is a very good sport as he didn't bat an eye every time I added another horse to the shipment. The 8 yr old mare is a Blinken daughter and the 7 yr. old mare is a Tunar daughter whose grandmother on the mare's side is Holunder. I was able to see Tunar in the flesh and saw several yearling fillies by him that were quite nice. He is a very athletic stallion and a very friendly well mannered soul. The colt named "Ultimo",is an Inco son. Inco is a German stallion by Illiano who is grey. His grandmother on the mare's side is a Toddy daughter named Hanneke who is a very nice mare. If it can be arranged he and the mares will stay in Holland for the stallion show March 31st and then come to the US. Ultimo will come home after 3 days in quarentine and the mares will go to Cornell for 2 weeks of CEM testing. In the meantime I am going to be all over the place. I judge an arena trial in NH on Sunday and Monday head for Southern Pines NC to drop off my daughter. Then back again for Live Oak where I will be helping out while my daughter rides as groom in derssage and cones in Larry Poulin's carriage. They are forecasting a big storm on Monday so I am keeping my fingers crossed that we make it through on our way south. I couldn't read all the e-mails in my box when I got home. If anyone was trying to reach me and I did not respond I am home for two days and my new e-mail address for those of you who didn't realize it had changed is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I apologize if you thought I was just being rude by not responding.
