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)

Rob Caldwell on Quincey in Hitchcock Woods, Aiken, SC - Jan 2011
Just wanted to let
you know that Quincy placed 5th out
of 20 some at his first BN horse trial at the Kentucky Horse Park.
He was as good as he new how to be. I never could get a stadium
lesson prior to the show so he schooled his first course at the
HT. He was cute, very careful and took a good look before he neatly
jumped without any penalties. XC clear with no hesitations. What
a good boy. Thought you would enjoy the news. Another Bubba baby
doing his job:)
Took Quincy (Conn-TB
cross by Balmullo's Beacon) to his first
horse show today, a little schooling hunter show but was well
attended and tons of little girls and big girls. He seemed to
really like the environment, was very quiet, picked pocket and
put his nose on all the girls heads and anything he could do to
get attention. Went in the indoor and did the crossrails, very
steady and won
2 blue ribbons. I think he
may do well in that environment. Marion Nov-10

R.U. Cirrus gray (born

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.
