The Blue Waters Farm team spent three days presenting horses, reconnecting with friends and enjoying the unique ambience of Devon.  We thank our handler Michael Bragdell along with Team Hilltop; Bruce and Amy Jackson and Tony along with their team at the Fair Hill Equine Therapy Center; Dr. Chuck Arensberg of Equine Veterinary Care; and our farrier Jim Salve, for helping us prepare our horses in the best way possible.  We also thank our team photographer, Bill Alphin.  We are so grateful to each of them!!

We congratulate Hilltop Farm as 2009 marked their 20th year hosting ISR/Oldenburg Inspections.  In such a lovely setting, we were pleased to present our 2009 colt, BW-Royal Splendor (Royal Prince / A Jungle Prince / Renoir).  Despite recovering from a pasture accident, he presented a lovely picture and easily earned his Premium award.  Splendor joins his two champion brothers BW-Royal Aire, now owned by Sooner Hope Farm, and BW-Raphael who we are raising as a stallion prospect.  Araine, Splendor’s dam, is so special to us.  She has given us seven extraordinary foals all of which have earned Premium awards, inspection site honors and breed show championships.

Congratulations to Martina and Cordialle!

We congratulate our fellow trainer and dear friend Martina Thiel-Poblotzki, and her fabulous filly, for their terrific showing at the Fair Hill Sport Horse Breed Shows I and II.  Their placings included two second place finishes in the ISR/Oldenburg classes.  Martina bred Cordialle (Contucci – Akteur – Le Mexico).  Together with Emily Covington, Martina plans on starting Cordialle under saddle this Fall.  We also extend a big thank you to Michael Bragdell for his masterful handling.
