Sparkin Hot Jacke (“Paq”), owned by Bobbi Jo Krueger was again on top of the 2016 AQHA national dressage standings! She won the US Dressage Federation All Breed/AQHA Horse of the Year for third level with Mimi Stanley riding & was 8th at second level with Bobbi riding. In addition Sparkin Hot Jacke tied for 2nd place at third level in the AQHA 2016 national dressage standings with Mimi & tied for 3rd place at second level with Bobbi on board. She is now retired from competition with 76 AQHA points in dressage & will be bred in 2017. Bobbi has already started working with her next up & coming AQHA dressage competition horse.

We have enjoyed our journey into competition dressage with Bobbi Jo Krueger & Sparkin Hot Jacke. We welcome anyone that wants to explore dressage, English or Western, to contact us. We are glad to work with all breeds of horses and all ages and abilities of riders.

“Twas the night before Christmas… while visions of Sugar Plum danced in her head.” Meet PR Sugar Plums’s new owner, Wrenn! Merry Christmas!!!

Our first blizzard is winding down leaving us with 3 feet of snow & the promise of temps below zero. Winter is here!

We had a fun day at the ND Horse Fair and Vendor Show hosted by Missouri Ledge Appaloosas! Caught up with old friends, met Facebook friends in person, and made some new connections. A good day with a good cause behind it. — at Missouri Ledge Appaloosas.

Wolkenzorro is off on a new adventure to Anoka Equine. We so often are asked if he is standing at stud & we say no – he is a performance stallion. We now intend to say yes!!! Frozen semen should be available for the 2017 breeding season. We will keep you posted on how it is going.

Mimi is enjoying schooling in the lovely fall weather and Tana is busy learning half-steps! Anastasia Daxtana is a 2016 2nd level National Champion with much to offer the intermediate youth or adult amateur rider looking to compete. See her web page for more info.   Thanks to Lara Anderson for the great schooling photos.

We’re excited to be headed to the Sport Horse Nationals! Zorro will show 2nd and 3rd level, Hook PSG and I-1, and little Plum has a full plate with Hunter Hack, Training Level dressage, Sport Horse Mares In Hand, Green Working Hunter and Hunter Derby. Stay tuned for ride times, updates and our first attempts at live-streaming from the ring!

What a week! Mimi wrapped up the Canadian Nationals with two more National Championships aboard Sally Henry’s talented Half-Arabs. Arab/warmblood stallion Wolkenzorro earned Natl Champion at 3rd Level and PR Captain Hook, who only a year ago was recovering from colic surgery, earned his 11th Natl Championship at PSG! At age 20, Hook is now a 5-time Natl Champion at PSG.
