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)

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:) May 2011

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

Dillon is doing very well :) and I have had him under saddle since late july. We are always working on transitions from walk, trot, and canter.

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.
