We have 442 horses competing in the MEPSA Photo Show Championships this year - a new record for us! I tried my hand at putting together an ad for the Champ Book - what do you think?

The new MEPSA show season starts the first weekend in August - time to get the first set of show photos together!

New horses...new pedigrees...not a cohesive update in sight! Sorry about that but I'm hoping to get my act together along with some new photos in the next couple of weeks.

We will be out of pocket - and internet range - for the next couple of weeks, so if you send any requests in I will get to them when we reach civilization again.

Well, lots of changes to report. Some new faces on the list:

- Parade Rest, 2000 dapple grey (born bay) ASB mare (Breyer SM G2 ASB OF)

We also have the annual Retirement Day, wherein we pension some horses from the list, promoting their sons or daughters in their places. The older horses are still available for breeding requests for their open years - just look for them in the "Older Stallions" or "Older Mares" list following the main breed section:
