Foal Announcement: A filly for KATAVI!

We have been dying to breed one of our mares to Cassini II for years now, and this dream became reality this year when Katavi gave us a gorgeous filly on April 1st. She unfortunately didn't take to her duties as a mama however, and we had to enlist the use of a nurse mare.

The incredible people at Manning Equine found us Taffy, who took the filly on as her own right away. 

Willow and Taffy are now home at Braeburn and are doing incredibly well!

RAWF 2013: AURELIUS

Our lovely homebred Aurelius (Maurice X La Sophie) was the lone representation for Braeburn at the Royal Winter Fair this year. He was competing in the Amateur Owner division with his new owner and was incredible for his first time showing indoors. He was 3rd in a very competitive under saddle class, and had some great trips over fences. His dam was our wonderful foundation mare La Sophie (Sophie) who sadly recently passed.

Here is a video of the stake class:

We are incredibly proud of Marcus!

In Memorium: LA SOPHIE

A few weeks ago we lost our incredible foundation mare La Sophie (Registered name Leda, barn name Sophie).

Sophie was an absolutely incredible broodmare, producing 6 lovely foals for us:

Sera (2004)

Aurelius (2006)

Katavi (2008)

  

Tenzin B (2009)

India B (2011)

Belmont B (2012)

WEF 2013 Update: FERGIE

Fergie has been great during WEF 2013 and has picked up many ribbons in the 3'3" Performance Working Hunters. She recently also won the hack during Week 8.

Fergie has been sold to Annette of California. We wish her new owners the best of luck with this special mare!

WEF 2013 Update: SOUTH HILL

Braeburn purchased the lovely Dutch Warmblood gelding South Hill by Verdi from Wayne Mclellan in December of 2012. During WEF 2013 he has been competing in the Pre Green 3' and 3'3" divisions with Erynn, and the Adult Amateur divisions with Raewyn. He has been fabulous and has picked up many blue ribbons and championships along the way.

We are incredibly excited about this horses future and are honoured to have him in the barn.

Fall 2012 Update: TENZIN B

This fall our homebred Tenzin B out of Sophie by Westporte qualified for the prestigious Governor's General Cup and Liutenant General Cup for three year old Canadian bred horses at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

The Royal environment is enough to faze an experienced horse, but Tenzin was as calm as a cucumber!

Here are some photos from the qualifiers at RCRA in September:

He was 7th on the line, and 8th under saddle in a super competitive group of three year olds!

Congrats to his owners Alan and Sue Manning :)
