Sweepings...

Amadeus Morgans announces the birth of a chestnut colt ("Bayside Shamrock" x "Amadeus Nekomia Ash") on May 28. This is a half brother to our 1995 colt, "Amadeus Mozart Ara-Li" who has been doing rather well in showing this past couple of years.  He is large and very correct, and has been sold to Mr. & Mrs. Robert Parker of Pubnico, N.S. who will take delivery upon weaning.  "Amadeus Resolute Tiger" (raf) likes people and has bonded especially well with the new owners so all concerned are very happy with the progress of events.

This Week's Featured Classifieds

Looking to find a home for my sadly outgrown horse. He would be yours for a few years until I get my barn built. He would make a good companion for another horse as he gets along very well with other horses. Has been shown successfully on flat and over fences. (NS)

Star is a 15 yr old Morgan/Arab mare 14.3hh, bay. She in no way shows her age. She would make an excellent competitive trail horse. She is trained for barrels and poles and would do well at local shows. To an approved home only. (NB)

For sale a 13.3h Morgan/Hackney gelding. This pony has lots of professional training, rides English or Western, loves to jump, quite athletic, trailers well, does trails, road safe, good in harness, trained for barrels and poles. He has been shown extensively in English, Western, and barrels before my daugher owned him and has done very well. He is in good health and has never been sick. Great horse to work around. This pony is quite smart and 'enthusiastic'. He likes to be used and often, and isn't suitable for a passive rider. (PEI)
