MARIATOM 1994 TB Gelding - Dk B/Br - 16.1hh |
||
Sire: Irish Tower
Dam: Special Mistress (Deputy Minister) Thomas, as he is known around the farm, is and old racing warrior turned event horse. I found Thomas on the CANTER Pennsylvania trainer listings and knew right away that he was a special horse. Something about the 14 year old fuzzy gelding in the photos made me smile, and I made the call to his wonderful owner/trainer to inquire about him. Pretty soon, Thomas was on a van on his way to Kentucky to start his new career as an event horse. On the track, Thomas started an unbelievable 144 times over his incredible 12 year racing carrer. He earned nearly $270k during this time. All this, and Thomas retired sound, and in great shape looking ahead towards his new career. Thomas came to the farm in August of 2008, and in October, completed his very first horse trial at Octoberfest, at the KHP. While he was only entered in the Starter division, he was a super star, finishing on his dressage score, and showing a great enjoyment for his new work! Thomas has been living the good life, and has been on a bit of a vacation lately due to the weather here in KY. We are hoping to get him going again this spring. He has been out and about on the occasional trail ride and hack, and, as always, is the ultimate professional! |

BLUEGRASS MEMORIES Bay Colt - Foaled: February 17th, 2010 |
||
Sire: Bluegrass Cat
Dam: Memories Of Silver (Silver Hawk) "Navi" is a regally bred colt out of the brilliant race mare, Memories Of Silver. He came to Brooklawn Farm in October of 2010 as a weanling for more individualized attention. He has developed into quite the athlete, and continues to improve daily. He is going to be a phenomenal looking horse as he continues to mature physically. Our hope is that Navi will live up to his pedigree and the race records of his siblings. His half sister, Winter Memories, ran a hard fought second in the 2010 Breeders Cup Juvenile fillies Turf at Churchill Downs. We are very excited about Navi's future at Brooklawn Farm. |

NORTHLIGHT 1993 TB Gelding - Dk B/Br - 16.1hh |
||
Sire: Vanlandingham
Dam: Mulberry Moon (Our Native) JC Name: Diamondham Diamond is my once in a lifetime horse. We found him as a 6 yr old just off the track in Florida while looking for my next event horse. In January, 2000, Diamond came to live with us in GA and began his eventing career. He quickly proved that he was a top quality horse with unlimited potential. Diamond excelled at the Classic Three Day format. He became one of the top Advanced horses in Area III and represented the YR's at the 2003 NAYRC in Bromont while earning a Team Silver and Individual Bronze at the CCI**. His final major performance came in the Fall of 2004 at the Poplar Place Advanced HT where he finished 2nd behind the amazing Courageous Comet, while being one of only two horses to go double clean XC and SJ, and finishing on his Dressage Score. Diamond retired in the spring of 2005 due to an injury sustained while playing in his paddock. He is now the most amazing babysitter and spends his days lounging in his field while looking after the farms babies. He still loves going for the occasional ride and showing beginers the ropes. I have been very lucky to have him in my life, and he owes me nothing. I will always think of him as the best horse I will ever have the honor of riding. |

He will be coming out in the spring to teach more riders what eventing is all about. Cody's 20th Birthday is coming up in April......My old man is still convinced that he is 3 years old, and is always up to his sneaky ways. |
