Update on Foothills Waterford (2/02)
My friend, Lisa, in Roanoke, VA, tracked down Foothills Waterford, who is still with owner, Sarah Trompeter. She brought me some video which showed that he has filled out tremendously and still a very lovely pony type. Sarah reported that Ford won the stallion class at the Virginia CommonWealth Games in 2001 against several impressive warmbloods, and that his foals were also doing well. A TB-cross son (Waterfords S'il Vous Plait) was 2nd in the colt foal class and he, along with another Waterford filly won the Get of Sire.

I have some good video of Ford and a couple of his babies. I think you will like it. Everyone LOVES him! Love, Lisa Knappe (Jan. 02)
 

 
 

Foothills Waterford is a wonderfully balanced stallion with excellent feet and legs and an unbeatable disposition.

In 1994, Ford's full sister, Foothills River Queen , was awarded the first place Futurity Trophy in the highly contested Region III Purebred Connemara Yearling Futurity.
The following year, at the tender age of only 12 months, Waterford placed 2nd

Ford was started under saddle in the summer of 1997 and was ridden mostly by a 13 year old girl. He is a responsive mount with a nicely forward, free way of going. He is a safe and willing jumper in both stadium and cross country.

Waterford's Orion (5/30/00, out of Faline, unregistered Connemara) dun colt, Owned by The Rich Family of Davie Co. NC
Orion now has a full sibling (born 2002) owned by Sarah Trompeter in VA
 I am appending a recent photo of Orion, at the age of 2+ years. He spent June at school with Kathy Hines at Cornerstone Farm and is well started under saddle. During that month he was ridden every day, in the ring and on trails, and has started lunging. He has been briefly cantered and has a very balanced canter. His disposition is wonderful--very friendly--and he accepts direction and discipline without resentment. We had him gelded early this spring... My goal is eventually to sell him... He would make a great project for a child with some experience and supervision. I visited with Sarah Trompeter last month to see her new foal out of our mare, Faline (Orion's dam), and I sold Faline to her. Her new foal looks very much like Orion, and I expect that she will raise more Ford-Faline babies. Nola Rich (7/02)
