🏆Wanderlust Soul Tribute🏆

There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching a young stallion begin to leave his mark, and Hudson continues to make us proud every step of the way.

From his time in training to the foals arriving on the ground, Hudson has exceeded every expectation we had for him. Not only is he developing into a talented and willing partner, but he’s also proving himself as a sire.

His foals are consistently showing the qualities we value most; kind dispositions, beautiful movement, strong conformation, and the eye-catching presence that makes people stop and take notice. Each new foal seems to carry a little piece of what makes Hudson so special.

As breeders, there’s always a level of hope when you make breeding decisions, but seeing those hopes come to life in the next generation is something truly special. We couldn’t be more proud of the foals Hudson is producing and we’re excited to watch them grow, develop, and make their own impact in the years ahead.

The future is looking bright for Hudson, and we’re grateful to be along for the ride.

334 days and counting for Fiona! 💙

It’s hard to believe we’re this close to meeting her very first foal with us. Fiona has been such a wonderful addition to our program, taking every new experience in stride—from trail rides and clinics to parades and adventures under saddle. Now she’s enjoying a well-earned maternity leave as we wait for the arrival of her first baby.

This special foal is by Legacy, a stallion known for passing along his exceptional temperament, presence, and versatility. The combination of Fiona’s kind nature and Legacy’s proven qualities has us incredibly excited to see what they have created together.

The countdown is officially on, and we can’t wait to welcome this little one into the world. ❤️

“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens”

SD Special Surprise

Special is my outstanding mini mare who stands 13.1hh and rides and drives. I imported her as a long yearling and being a daughter of SD Flash Harry she has always been a keeper.

She produces beautiful, good minded foals and is a good mom. This year is not different, giving me another filly who is a mini me of her aside from one blue eye.

We are waiting on Journeys results as she may be homozygous for agouti and a possible pearl gene.

You’ll see Special and Journey in our trail videos soon! Exposure is key to creating a foundation anyone can build on.

A pairing we couldn’t resist repeating… 🤍

Scarlett has officially been confirmed in foal to SD Tornado for a 2027 foal, and we are already counting down the days until this baby arrives.

With Scarlett’s beauty, presence, and sweet disposition paired with Tornado’s unmatched traditional type, feather, and kind heart, this cross feels like everything we love about the Gypsy breed wrapped into one.

Their first foal exceeded every expectation, and we have no doubt this next baby will be just as special.

Spring 2027 — we are ready for you. ✨

Edie will have more exposure as her mom is my main riding horse and she has already participated in a parade and all the lights, noises and traffic. She is unfazed!
