Good News - September/October 2001

"I have good news. My mom came through her knee replacement surgery just fine, has been home for several weeks to a month now & is walking with a cane instead of a walker. Sometimes she even walks without the cane."
-Diane Peter

"I had both my older Am. Cream Draft mares sent to a stallion and they have just returned from the breeder. I am so looking forward to two more little (well, not so little, lol) foals! This is the same stallion that sired our yearling filly, Heike and she is a real looker with a personality of gold! We have also been asked by the Champagne Horse Assn. to consider our mare Fanny for registration. She would be the first draft horse registered. I am working on getting the paperwork and photos done so we can apply."

"Also, I have a "good news"- at least, it's good news IMO :-D I'm getting the wonderful pleasure of adding a gorgeous glossy palomino H-R large "Zara" to my herd. She hasn't gotten a name or pedigree so far, since I don't even have her in hand yet, but all suggestions are welcome!"

"I finally got around to painting my Amarna Arabian Stallion resin. It only took me about five years! Now he's a dark bay with two socks and a stripe-- he turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. He already has an ID, which some of you may recognise from the Express Racing club: Minsk, a Russian Arabian who was a Multi-Stakes-Winner on the track, and from his first crop (1999) has already sired two Stakes winners, one Stakes-placed-winner, and one winner. The other good news is that I actually managed to take some show photos, so now he'll be able to compete in IPABRA too! I can't wait to get him out into the ring!"
-Amber Berdie

"I just finished up my second summer of graduate work at VanderCook College of Music and got straight As for the second year in a row! I only have one more summer to go and I will officially have a Master's Degree in Music Education. Wish me luck!"
