Being that we are so attached to all our horses, no matter how far they travel, we like to keep in touch with the folks who have given some of our "children" truly wonderful new homes. Here are just a few.

The Sky Prince & Bi Mi Royal Starr

When Nancy & Bill from Mississippi came to visit us for three days, it was three days filled with fun, laughter.....and LOTS of "Horseplay"......the Parelli way! We all had a wonderful time, but never more so than the horses. Greeting us all each day at the gate, or following us through the field, everyone was vying to be "First." Nancy had originally come to look at Prince, as a horse that might possibley fill the shoes of her beloved 30 year old gelding Fritz that passed away several years ago. She and Prince formed a very close bond immediately both on the ground and in the saddle. Prince would gently drop his head for a scratch, or very non-chalantly prop his chin on her head....something that her dear Fritz used to do. But then... when we decided to play with two of the younger geldings, we found that perhaps SOMEONE else had HIS soft brown eyes on both her and Bill.....and that horse was Royal Starr. Ever the quiet, unassuming, gangly three year old in the field, Royal became a completely different horse when Nancy began to play with him. It was like watching a flower blossom right before our eyes. Royal Starr showed a keen intelligence and an unbelievable willingness to try anything that she asked of him, whether it was loading into a trailer for the first time, jumping over barrels, climbing onto tires, or trotting along behind her in a wide open field..... Nancy & Bill did not pick Royal.......HE chose THEM. It was wonderful to see this quiet young horse transform into such an engaging equine. He truly was meant for them. Both Royal Starr and Prince will have a wonderful home with this couple, and we look so much forward to hearing of their fun times ahead. Congradulations to the both of you. We couldn't ever wish for two more wonderful people to find their next "Forever Partners" in our field!

Reedann's Mesmerize

(1997 Mare - CH The Talk of the Town x Timberlake's Country Magic) & 2008 Foal by Harlem's P.R. Man

When we reluctantly decided to offer Reeda for sale, we simply did not realize how many people would inquire about this mare. So much so, that we decided it best to "interview" folks so that we could make the best possible decision in regard to this next chapter in Reeda's life. When I was contacted by Lori Z. of Wisconsin, I knew after several conversations that she and her husband Ralph would be the best choice for this very special mare. Lori breeds National Showhorses and shows quite successfully across the United States. She has a lovely Arabian stallion and has garnered many wins with their selective breeding program. Lori was looking for a mare that she could occasionally ride as well as breed, and Reeda sure fit the bill. Due to foal in April of 2008, we will be looking forward to seeing Reeda's next baby, as well as how her amazing genetics combine with their Arab. Thank you Lori and Ralph - we know that Reeda is loved by you all as much as she is loved by us!

Titan Supreme

(2006 Colt - Harlem's P.R. Man x Mia's Time)

So many people wanted to purchase this wonderful, quirky little colt, but we knew that it was going to take someone special for Titan. We were so happy when Kseniya and Nick H. from Californina came along, we wanted to put him on the first plane to Los Angeles! Avid "Natural" riders and admirers of the American Saddlebred, they have two beautiful Saddlebred mares that absolutely adore Titan, and we look forward to hearing more about him as time goes on. Thank you, Kseniya and Nick, for giving this amazingly talented young stallion a most wonderful home!

When Judy R. of Illinois first met our Belle, she came up to her and put her arms around this beautiful mare's neck. And the normally "non-chalant" mare turned her head around and placed Miss Judy in a most reciprocating "hug". We knew then that these two were made for each other. Under the carrying and watchful eye of her new owner, Belle gave birth to a lovely bay filly named "Belle's Silent Wings ("Little Belle", as Judy calls her...)" early in 2006, by our wonderful stallion, Harlem's P.R. Man. Judy says the precocious little filly towers over the other babies her age, and has a personality to match! We look forward to hearing of her accomplishments with this little girl. Meanwhile, Belle Starr is still the "Belle" of the barn.

Bi Mi Lucky Penny

(2005 Filly - Bi Mi World Premier x Lucky Guess)

Bruce and Shari of Arizona, have sent us some hilarious stories of this flame-red filly’s mis-adventures out West. With her inquisitive nature and keen intellect ...not to mention LARGE sense of humor, Penny was the perfect match for this couple who are getting involved in the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Program. When she's not digging traps for Shari to fall into, relocating the corral, or trying to re-wire and re-plumb the barn, Penny's favorite thing to do is to spend a good part of the day positioning her buddy Winter into the perfect "tail-swishing" position for keeping the flies off of Penny's own little red head. Penny has also become an accomplished "hair-dresser," neatly twisting Winter's mane into some lovely "dreadlocks" that would sure rival anyone in the South Seas! We always look forward to hearing about Penny, and know that she is so very much loved by these two wonderful and caring people.

Harlem's Black Lucky Charm

(2006 Filly - Harlem's P.R. Man x Lucky Guess)

When Rex and Rose S. first saw this jet black filly, she was only a few weeks old with a fuzzy thick black coat, and was bounding around gleefully in the snow. He bought her the very next day, and when she left our farm at 6 months old, she had gone from a petite little "ink blot" to a gorgeous young girl, seemingly overnight. She has been a delight for both Rex and his wife, Rose, who both love Saddlebreds and spend all their waking hours (as we do) taking care of their "children." Rex is looking forward to wowing the crowds with this gorgeous high-stepping filly that is a carbon copy of her 5-gaited sire and dam. We are so glad this delightful little filly has found a home with two such wonderful people!

Walter Farley

(1998 Gelding - Forty-Second Street ERB x My Secret Someone)

Words just cannot explain "good ol' Walter," as he will always be known to us. Best known for his playfull "smooches" (which would explain name change to "The Kissing Bandit"), this gorgeous black 17+Hand gelding also liked to spend a good deal of time snoozing away in his stall. One of the most lovable, happy horses that we ever owned in our early Saddlebred "career", we didn't find it hard to imagine that someone else would fall in love with him as we did, which is exactly what happened when Marlene G. of Illinois saw him. We knew that Walter would have a wonderful life with her, and we've since learned that he's really taking the Western Pleasure division by storm. What a wonderful, wonderful Saddlebred...... and we have no doubt that he's STILL the most lovable, happy horse!
