"Chagall"
16.3 hand Jet Black (no white at all) Imported Hanoverian G 11 yrs. The ultimate Jr. Hunter/Big Eg packer!!! Truly one of the best Junior Hunters in the country. Chagall is an absolutely breathtaking horse who has gone on to win top placings at the 2007 Merrill Lynch Horse Show, 2007 Hampton Classic, 2005 Winter Equestrian Festival, 7th overall at the 2004 USEF Junior Hunter Finals -East, qualified his rider for the ASPCA Maclay Regionals and more. He is an excellent horse for someone just moving up to the 3'6" division. Chagall is super easy to ride and a perfect mount for any truly competitive Junior/AO rider who competes at the larger competitive horse shows. Chagall's owner is in college and sadly offers this incredible horse for sale only (no lease available).
Serious inquiries only, please.

He's doing great in the jumpers and we are also 1st in the state for equitation and have qualified for the Maclay, Medal and the USET Regionals/Nationals. I've gotten so many compliments on him, he's such a great horse! I love him! Thanks!" - Christy Somerville, age 15, Texas

"Escada"
Sent via e-mail: "I just wanted to send you a quick note regarding Escada's A circuit debut. She was just beautiful in her Baby Green Hunter class at the Columbine Spring Classic last weekend. She brought home champion of her division (she placed 1st in her hunter under saddle class). Escada also performed wonderfully in the warm-ups placing 2nd out of 19 horses (not bad for a first timer). Piama is doing well. She will be ready for the A circuit in June/July. So, more to come on her debut." Thanks! Tracy
"DaVinci" (renamed: "D'Elegance")
Sent via e-mail: "Christopher, FINALLY we were able to take D'Elegance to a horse show. It was pouring down rain and he was so good!! I kept thinking I should scratch my classes, but the footing wasn't slick or too deep and Odi (his new barn name) was so good about it. We got a sixth and a first! Today, I had my under saddle class first and Odi was wonderful and won the class with 24 horses in a sloppy, muddy ring. It has rained most of the horse show. Then I had my last modified o/f and we had a very nice trip. We also won that class and were Champion at his very first show! That horse got lots of attention and kind remarks. I have been so pleased with this horse. He is definitely the very sweetest horse and he tries so hard to please. He put great effort into the lower jumps in the modified classes, but the bigger adult fences did not faze him in the least. This is truly an amateur's horse and he is going to be very, very special. I hadn't sent you any notes and wanted you to know how thrilled I am with this horse! He is a wonderful pet, but a stunning show horse. " ~ Lori Mathews, Texas

"Balmoral"
We received an e-mail from Jennifer's brother Michael who told us that Balmoral recently won all of the classes he was entered in at a show in Pennsylvania. "We love him! He is so sweet and absolutely gorgeous! I even rode him the other day!" - mother of Jennifer Wisman of Pennsylvania, the new owner of "Balmoral"
"Prada"
Sent via e-mail: "This weekend we showed him in the Low Hunters - he was reserve to a horse who is an old campaigner. Then we entered him in various classes. He got a lot of blues in the Pre-Green (3'3" and in schooling 3'3" as well). Not bad for an "A" Wellington Pre-circuit show! So keep your eyes out for Prada this winter in Wellington. He is going to do Pre-Green with Sandy (trainer) and Adult Amateur with me (3' not 3'6" yet). Sandy thinks he will be able to move up into First Year rather quickly since he pays more heed to the larger jumps, plus A/O won't be a problem for him either. He doesn't look at any of the large spooky jumps in Wellington... Thanks a lot! ~ Sabina"

Where Are They Now?
We are often asked by frequent visitors to our web site
about some of the horses that we have imported and sold.
Here's an update:
1) their movement on the flat; 2) their form over fences; 3) their ride-ability for both children & novice adults; 4) their competitiveness in the show ring; 5) their soundness.
Today, many of our former sale horses are currently winning in the show ring with their new owners at top horse shows all around the world! We have exported, as well as imported, horses around the world and we always have a wonderful selection of horses for sale. Most come fully vetted with current x-rays, and financing is available. We evaluate hundreds of horses a year for possible selection into our sales program and feel extremely proud of each and every one of those horses that we offer as part of our collection.
If you see a horse on our list below that interests you,
please feel free to give us a call.
Sincerely,
Christopher Ewing
