Spring 2007 News

The 2007 Nando “kids” have started to arrive!

2007 came in with a bang with the birth of our filly Razz Ma Tazz at 8:50 pm on 1/1/07. She was early, but everything with her birth was relatively uneventful and Razz is now growing like a weed. This is her mother, Rexel’s, third foal for us but her first filly, so we are very excited about that. As you’ll see from the pictures of Razz she also has a nice full blaze. Keep an eye out for Razz Ma Tazz at a show near you in the future. She has very large shoes to fill to keep up with her two brothers who have multiple wins to brag about including an SIP win at the 2004 Nationals, the win of a weanling colt class at the 2005 Nationals and an over all Grand Champion Stallion all ages at the New York State Breeders Show in 2006 just to name a few.

February not only brought record cold and record snow accumulation in upstate New York but also our second 2007 foal. New Millennium Magic was born at 1:50 am on February 11. This colt is out of our own daughter of Nabucco, Lustige WULF, and it is her first stud colt. She has already had two fillies for us. Her oldest, Lasting Impression now resides in CA and her second filly is Bill’s personal favorite show horse, Limited Edition.

March brought a new home for one of our Nando geldings, Nomar. He is heading to Tonya Cooper’s for his Spring under saddle training and then on to be a Pony Club horse. Stay tuned for his progress over the next few years. We are sure there will be a lot to tell.

April, the snow has melted and the mud has arrived – ugh! The two foals are growing up fast and we are anxiously awaiting our foal out of Bastia, our Abendstern daughter.

May starts a very aggressive summer of showing Haflingers in NY, PA and OH. In 2006 Bill ended the year as the Grand Champion Driving horse for the American Haflinger Registry, so Deb, not to be out done by Bill, has the goal for 2007 to have Millennium Treasure the Grand Champion Riding horse for AHR. Stay tuned for her progress.

For those of you who have Nando “kids”, please keep us updated on what you are doing with them and what they are doing for you. Also, if any of your Nando “kids” are for sale, please send us details with a good picture and we would be more then happy to put them up for sale on our website at no charge to you.
