Bred by FFC; owned by Mary Hughes, SC.

Hey Vanessa, We have been teaching the four year olds to jump and Piedmont (Palmetto) is really quiet and business-like; he's a really fine guy and approaching sixteen hands. We had so much fun at the show and have been scheming how to bring Britta's carriage next year, as she is a really competent carriage horse as well. Take Care, Mary (7/09)

Piedmont Palmettto (by Balmullo's Beacon) is very special also. He's 16 hands and balanced. Has only bopped around the farm with other horses at this point but really likes that. Mary Hughs (2/09)

Quincy, now 3, is going under saddle in the arena without any fuss. He is very kind and will be brave like his pop. (5/08)

I started Quincy lunging and he caught on quickly. He will be another forward, intelligent type as are all Bubba Babies. (9/07)

Piedmont Powers and I went to our first horse show today. It was the Connemara show and inspections. We took 1st place in three and over halfbred connemaras in-hand and took Champion Halfbred In-hand. What a guy!
The next show we go to, we are going to compete under saddle. We have progressed a lot in our canter work. I am extremely pleased with how well he learns everything. Kathy

Laura earns her C3 Pony Club Rating: We survived the C3 rating. It was a three day ordeal and was grueling. Sundance was a good boy – the only six year old there that is for sure. Laura passed the rating, along with her club mates Kelsey and Khaki. Five out of 13 failed and there were lots of tears! I’m sooo glad that is over! No more pony club stress this year. Laura and Sun could go to Pony Club Nationals but she is just too tired and wants to take the rest of the summer off. He probably needs it too.

Laura took Sundance to Eventing Rally which was held during the Midsouth PC HT at the KHP On June 26th. He was a good green boy and Laura’s team was 1st in the novice pony club division and she and Sundance were 2nd in the open horse trial. We were really proud of him. Both Juniper and Sundance are qualified for the AEC novice division. Laura and Sundance have bonded and he is just cocky enough to keep her entertained without being dangerous. Thanks again for my ponies! Marion (7/06)

R.U. Cirrus gray (born October 1999)
Out of Pippi Freeze
Bred by Jill Mooney (GA); owned by Cathy Riehm (CA)

Hi! My name's Cathy Riehm and I own the fabulous RU Cirrus (bred by Jill Mooney in GA 10/99). I saw the notice on the website about his whereabouts.... we are living in Northern California after moving recently from Colorado (attached photo was taken in Fruita, CO).

Cirrus is the smartest, sweetest, silliest and most affectionate horse I've ever had (or even worked with!). He wins the heart of everyone who meets him. Cirrus is a happy 'Mama's Boy' and is often called my puppy. We've had fun in the Hunter/Jumper ring and on the trails, but we hope to start eventing more so we are currently working on our dressage.
