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)

The amazing La Sophie:

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 :)

Summer 2012 Update: AURELIUS

Our beautiful homebred gelding Aurelius (La Sophie X Maurice) has been cleaning up this summer with his new owner Cailin Drexler! He has been campaigning in the 3'3" Junior Amateur Division (he is currently standing 2nd in Ontario!) as well as trying his hand at the odd hunter derby.  He was 9th in the Hunter Derby at Cedar Run in July, and was Champion and Reserve Champion in the 3'3" Junior/ Amateur division the past two weeks at Palgrave!

We are very excited about this horses future with his fabulous new rider!

Champion at Palgrave!
