Hi - This message is from Carol at Beaver Dam Farm, Nova Scotia
We had a great day yesterday. Sold three horses, and had an exquisite filly
born out of Maryke (daughter of Hjerter-Knaeght) and Gjest . . . of course.
We only have one stallion. The filly was born in the hour between 7 pm 8
pm. I'd been communing with her at 6:45, consoling her as I knew she was
very unhappy and uncomfortable. Then, Tracy, our stable manager, burst in
our door at 8:15 screaming that we'd had a filly, and the baby was on her
feet. --- She's a tall, sweet filly with a dished face, and already I can
see that she has nice markings. Her dorsal stripe down the mane is very,
very dark. And the mane is unusually long. We've named her BDF Phoebe.
It's our P year.
One of the horses sold yesterday is a gelding named BDF Jubilee Canada
(Gjest x Maryke), and he was sent here by his Maryland owner to be sold. He
arrived April 12th, and sold 21 days later. Jubie will be going to
boarding school with his new owner, 13 year old Anna. The other two horses
sold will be going to Newfoundland . . . of all places. Now that's truly .
. .THE END OF THE EARTH. You can't go any further. It's even got it's own
TIME ZONE -- a half an hour later than we are, and we're an hour later than
Maine. ---
I was feeling so good about these nice happenings, that I had a lovely,
dreamless sleep. However, this morning I got really stressed out as I
glanced at our current Sales List, and discovered that I only have ONE HORSE
LEFT TO SELL. This is not good as I have five trainers lined up for this
summer, and Driving Guests coming with the intention of buying horses.
So, if any of you out there have a horse (a good Fjordhorse) that you wish
to sell, I could help you. I'm particularly interested in taking on horses
with European backgrounds . . .but only because I'm more familiar with those
bloodllines. However, if it's a quality Fjord with no serious behavior or
conformational problems, I'd be happy to talk with you.
So, if any of you think I could help you out, please give me a call, or
email. We have a truck going down to the States within the month.
Transportation is not anywhere near as much as you'd think, and there's no
duty or quarantine either into Canada or out.
We've got lots of happy customers more than willing to talk with you, so if
you'd like references, let us know.
Oh, one more thing. It's really been some week. This past Wednesday,
Holly, our Solar daughter, had a wonderful colt. He's big, brave, and
friendly. Also, rather splendid looking. We named him BDF Polestar.
Best regards, Carol
