Cheval de bois Marie Antionette

(June 2009) We sold Wonder's dam, Cheval de bois Marie Antionette, to Canada this spring. Marie was bred back to Wicked Courtjester before being exported so her new owner, Anita, could look forward to a full sibling of Wonder next spring. At Marie's first show with a student of Anita's, she ended up reserve champion of her division with a 2nd and a 3rd in training level 1 and 2 respectively - good pony!

(February 2009) The first foal crop of Firfod Jetset (Clinton's sire) is now old enough to be presented to inspections. Two 3 year old stallion colts were presented at the Danish stallion election (Lundemarksgaard Hokus Pokus and Gay Count Zidan), not only were both accepted with provisional licenses, but were first and second respectively! This means, that of 4 sons presented as stallion prospects, 100% were accepted [Strandgardens Thor (Germany) and Riddersholm Clinton (USA) were the other 2].
