JUNE 2009
Gemstone gets Reserve Champion!
What
a pair! Kaitlyn Dalcourt guides Gemstone to bigger heights,
challenging her through twists and turns, up hills and down
banks, in the Child/Adult Jumpers at the June Ashland Silver
Show, placing them overall with a well deserved Reserve Champion
title.
Congrats Kait and Gem! Stellar Performance!
MAY 2009
Our
Oldenburg jumper mare, Gemstone, competed in her first jumper
show (Hopeful Jumpers) with Kaitlyn Dalcourt at the NNEP in
May, after three years off as a broodmare while recovering from
an injury. They completed the courses beautifully, but this
team is so efficient, they had speed penalties which put them
in 5th place.
Spectacular effort for her first time back out in so long!

APRIL 2009
MEET
ABBA!
Our Hanoverian mare, Licorne, blessed us on Easter day with
a beautiful baby girl by the Hanoverian Stallion Abke. This
good sized filly is extremely well put together and shows effortless
movement like she's dancing on a cloud. Her personality has
stolen the hearts of everyone who visits her. Look for her at
the local Breed Shows with handler Ronnie Davidson.

PARTY, PARTY, PARTY @ FOUR LEAF
FARMS!
We had our annual barn celebration on September
20, 2008, held in our arena. Everyone had a great time chatting,
eating, dancing and drinking. Thanks to the hot local band "Starfire"
who provided live entertainment for the evening. Thanks to Jenna's
dad for lending us his awesome BBQ (a vintage firetruck restored
as a BBQ on wheels). Most of all, thanks to all our boarders
who make Four Leaf Farms what it is today - you guys are awesome!

UPDATE ON THE 2008 BABES...
Joey and Rory are both doing fabulous as
you can see (Rory has gotten considerably darker).
They are the best of friends and are growing stong and steady.

SUMMER 2008 NEWS
Four Leaf Farms is proud to
present the latest additions from our broodmares Mollymawk
and Gameela.
In June our TB (Selle Francais approved) broodmare
Mollymawk gave us a big bay colt by the Selle Francais stallion
Ilian de Taute. This little man did not have an easy beginning
to his life. At three days old, mom and baby were shipped to
Ste-Hyacinthe Veterinary Hospital. Joey was suffering from a
bladder infection and had to have surgery. Despite this rough
start, both are doing fantastically well. Joey is super friendly
with people and is already on his way to becoming a big strong
fella.
Joey holds a special place in our hearts.
Thank you to all who helped Joey survive! XOXO

Mare) (Sire: Ilian de Taute - Selle Francais Stallion)

In July our Canadian Warmblood (CSH approved)
maiden broodmare Gameela foaled a chestnut colt by the Hanoverian
stallion Rotspon. This little boy is bright and active and pretty
flashy with his wide blaze and two stockings. Gameela has turned
out to be a wonderful mom. This is Four Leaf
Farms first second generation homebred foal and we couldn't
be happier with the result. Gameela is in foal to the Hanoverian
stallion Abke for a 2009 foal.
Congratulations to Erin Mackintosh
- proud new owner of Rory (Rotkonig)!

Four Leaf Farms'
Hanoverian broodmare Licorne made her debut in the dressage
ring on July 12th at Starlit Farms Silver Dressage Show. Her
very first test yielded a 60% for a second place ribbon in the
Training Test One AA Class. Despite a few wobbles she earned
a score of 58% and fifth place in the Training Test Two AA Class.
Watch out for this beautiful lady when she gets her act together!
Licorne is in foal to the Hanoverian stallion Abke for a 2009
foal.
