The annual FPS keuring in northern California was hosted by the Coastal California Friesian Club

Githa was ridden by Laura Gregersen in the IBOP test and received a score of 77.

Hayden and Hannah were awarded 2nd Premie and Hayden was also awarded colt champion of the keuring.

Our second foal, and first filly, of 2010 is born to Urenske at 9:30 AM in the pasture. Urenske was 12 days early with Gracie and caught us by suprise. Grace is named after my husband's mother.

Gregorio, our first foal of 2010 was born at 1:56 AM to Afke. In accordance with the FHANA rules that babies born in 2010 must have names beginning with G, H or I, we named him after my husband, Gregory.

Greg and I are putting up fencing for a new pasture. We have our own design, which is very strong and safe. We also have a new algorithm to put it up quickly. We both enjoy being out working on the ranch...even though it's still COLD!!

Everybody's in!! They do get out for a little while during the day.....It's supposed to be warming up in 2 days....Depending on what weather station you view, there may or may not be a huge storm Thursday night.

Our filly Welmoed was in surgery for a sand impaction. She's doing great. Our mare Icke is being seen by an ophthalmologist ...She had an ulcer on her way over from Holland and it flares up every once in a while. They're going to try to cure it once and for all.

My dog, Archie, LOVES kissing the horses....most of them kiss back...too cute! We were hoping to get our frost free wateres in before the storm, but didn't make it. The trenching and piping is in...but, with the horses in the barns, not a problem!

Is Christmas really only 3 weeks away!!
