This Big Sweet Boy is Headed to Texas for Karen:)
What a sweetheart. He took a bath just fine. Overall, he is absolutely the sweetest, most wonderful horse anyone could ever ask for. He has impeccable manners and is very personable. Everyone at the barn pets him, which he eats up, and he has figured out that a kiss equals a cookie. Half the people at the barn had green cheeks yesterday. I had to tell people to stop, for fear he would get a tummy ache.
Thank you for the opportunity to own this wonderful horse, which my horse hating husband actually called "magnificent." I took him out for his first trail ride and he did wonderful. He is very curious and gives new things the "hairy eyeball," but that is about it. He hasn't spooked from anything, just double-takes. I am very pleased.

Update...
Bas is adapting well. I am starting a new job as the State Court Coordinator in the county where we are building our new house and where Bas is. He has been a complete angel, aside from hating the fly spray and longing a little closer to the barn every circle. He is a hoot. When you do something to him that he doesn't like, he gets this look like he is much too dignified to put up with this kind of treatment, and is only allowing you because he is way better than we common people. My daughter cracked up when I was giving him a bath. She told me that he looked like one of the old Dutch master paintings of royalty looking down their nose at everyone. I can't remember if I told you, but one of the times I was out riding him we were on a causeway between a small lake and the valley below. The guy that owns the development commutes via helicopter. He flew over so close I could see his eyes and Bas didn't miss a lick. It didn't bother him at all. I, on the other hand was freaking out just waiting to see where Bas would go if he decided he didn't like it.
Score one for Bas.
I'll keep you up to date on Bas, or "the prince" as he likes to think.

Thank you so much for helping me pick such a wonderful horse. This boy has the patience of a saint (yes I know he is a saint). He is quickly teaching me everything I need to know and has done it all with such love. Every "horse" person I know keeps telling me that he doesn't act like a horse. He allows me to crawl around under him grooming his feathers, he lays down in the pasture with me and rests his head on my lap, and has to play with absolutely everything. I quickly learned that he needed a companion soon after he came to my home from the stable I had him at for a few months. On day three he had the gates all figured out and let himself out for a walk to the back door. His gates are now padlocked. Everyone who has met him is so impressed with his personality and of course his looks. I think I've got the best one you ever had. I never dreamed that such an incredible animal could be so affectionate. He is an absolute joy.
Thank you again

I wanted to send you a couple new pictures of Benno. Everything is still going great with him and I will never be able to thank you enough for such a wonderful baby. My 2 yr old stallion is constantly at Bennos’ side and they like to be touching each other. It amazes me to watch them run together because they are always in step and so well choreographed. Benno has such presence as well as a tremendous amount of patience and is really teaching the baby how to be an easy going, non-spooky, safe horse. I know that Benno will teach me much more in this life than I will ever teach him. He is truly magnificent in every way. Hope you enjoy the pictures they are “perfect angels” .

Congrats to Teresa in Texas!
Bauke made the California/Texas trip with no trouble--he came off the transport looking like he'd just been bathed, compared to the sweaty, tense Thoroughbreds he was shipped with. We've taken him on a four mile ride through the park, complete with rollerbladers, bikers, baby strollers, etc. NOTHING fazes this guy--when something catches his eye, he MARCHES over to take a closer look (could be food, you know). It's like he's watching TV, interested in but not INFLUENCED by the goings-on...

In comparison, he is feather-light to the aids--doesn't take a lot of leg to move out, and halts on a dime. I've never found this combination of boldness and obedience in any other breed.

I told you on the phone that we would be the pickiest people you'd ever deal with, and boy, did you deliver. If I'd sent you a recipe for a safe, competitive dressage horse, it certainly wouldn't have included all this "ICING"!

This Lovely Pregnant Ster Mare is headed to San Diego for Bob Nagell, DVM!!!!
Hi Janna,

I wanted to let you know that Whitney arrived safe and sound. Stan said she was perfect and calm the whole trip. Stan (your hauler) is very good, and personable also. I was surprised at how tall she is, her head amost reaches the top of the shade covering of the pen we put her into. She is as far south in California as she could be, about 1 mile from the border, in the Tijuana River Valley. The climate is nice due to the ocean breezes, there are many miles of trails, and we can take her to walk on the beach directly from the farm.

I appreciate how everything fell into place so quickly, everything felt and feels right. She is a great horse.

Thanks again!

Congrats to Wendy in Maryland!

Hi Janna,
I went to check on Bear last night before bed. It was late so nobody was out at the barn and everything was quiet. I thought that it would make be a nice opportunity for some bonding time so I grabbed a stool and sat inside his stall just being still letting him come to me when he felt like it. Well, I fell asleep. When I woke up Bear was standing next to me fast asleep with his muzzle in my hair & drooling down the side of my head. I woke him up and for the first time since his arrival he showed more than just a curious interest in me. We spent probably 15 minutes cuddling and he stuck around for it. Also, for the first time he lowered his head to me so that I could give him a scratch around his ears. Prior to this, when I would reach up to rub on him he would raise his head out of my reach. I also spent a good deal of time grooming him and his mane and tail are so thick.....

Thanks a bunch,
Wendy in Maryland

Holy crap Janna!!!!! Words cannot possibly describe how awesome Palo is!!! He is incredible!! You can’t stop looking at him!! He is total eye candy!!!!! I am so glad that you & Frankie helped me decide in getting him….he’s gorgeous and such a sweet boy! He greets me every time I pull up to the pasture.
I took him for a short ride yesterday… with lots of snorts and looking at the new surroundings, we had a great first ride!!! A bunch of deer jumped out while I was on him and he just stopped and looked at them, not a worry at all.
I’ll keep you posted on our progress….going to try to ride him over the weekend while carrying a flag (at home) . I’m sure he’ll do great!
I’ll send you an updated pic after my first parade!!

Update...
Just wanted to say thank you. I am so absolutely happy with this guy. We are a great match. I absolutely love him. I can't blieve how lucky I am to have two of the nicest horses ever. I didn't think anyone could compare to Versace, but this guy is just as sweet and more schooled. He has taught me so much already. He has such a fantastic personality, a huge heart, and so much patience. He is perfect for me. Janna, you know how much I spoil my other BSF so, this guy hit the jackpot ... And so have I. Thank You Thank You !! He was a great pick for me !! You are the best.

Congrats to Kathy in Napa!!!
Hi Janna and Barend,

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that Basso is doing great. I just love him. I had my second lesson on him yesterday and he is just so awesome to work with. He seems to love it here and has made friends with all my other horses and ponies except for one who doesn't get along with anyone very much. I should have gotten a Friesian years ago instead of trying to work with such hot headed warm bloods.

Thanks for bringing over such beautiful "level-headed horses". He is just so wonderful to work with!
Thanks again,

Kathy

Our One of a Kind Ravello is Headed to KY for Saddlebred Enthusiast, Susan Swope. Look for Susan and Ravello in the winner's circle on the east coast!

Janna-

Healthy and gorgeous!

I'm selling all of my alpacas. Replacing them with Friesians! ;)

Ravello loves alpacas! He's doing GREAT, by the way. What a sweetheart.

Update...

What a good boy he is. Janna, you were right- you can hitch him by yourself! Such a sweetheart!

He is doing great. Happy and adjusted to life in the Bluegrass!

I love the way Ravello's ears point together. He is just so cute! You were right, by the way. He has relaxed quite a bit since he's gotten to know me. He was so laid back to begin with, that I didn't realize that he had his guard up for the first few days he was here.

I can't remember if I told you that Ravello is the first horse I have ever trusted enough to walk through a pasture full of alpacas. He is simply so gentle, and frankly so unafraid of them that I cannot imagine him ever kicking one. Such a nice boy. My Arabians, on the other hand, I would never dream of having that close to an alpaca, and have always gone to great lengths to assure they were never close enough to make contact. They are like loaded guns and you never know when they might go off and send a Paca flying through the air!

Chanel is Headed to Louisiana, Congrats to the Broussard Family!

Janna,

Thanks for all the assistance; you have been very patient with us and quick to return emails and calls. We are very impressed with the way you run your business. We had the same experience with your trainer (I think you call her Freddie) she was so very nice and helpful. In fact she sold us on the horse as much as the horse sold us on the horse. Hahaha… she was delightful and it is so very obvious she loves what she does. Regards,

Tammy in Louisiana
