We are deeply saddened to share with you that Mimi Stanley’s Grand Prix Arabian gelding, EA Cygnus, died in colic surgery at age 23 on Dec. 10. Cygnus has been a part of our family & our top priority for almost 10 years. As Mimi’s teacher & best friend, Cygnus has set the course of her life. We forever are grateful. It is difficult to imagine a world without him. Visit Cygnus’ web page for more information about his amazing career.

PR Rock N Rye, our 2013 colt by Rosenthal and out of our purebred Arabian mare, PR Brandywine, participated in the first-ever North American RPSI Select Foal Online Auction  thru Nov. 30, 2013.

Modeled on popular warmblood Select Foal auctions in Germany, each foal in this event was individually evaluated and invited to participate, ensuring a high standard of quality for buyers and an opportunity to view the year’s top warmblood foals and breeding programs. Because Rye was awarded Gold Premium status at his recent RPSI inspection, he was among the Select Foals offered for sale.  For more information on Rye, visit his sales page.
