Our breeding program

has produced several promising young ISH crosses, all by Menuhin, out of three fine mares, Cadenza, Finnicky, and Fan's Asia. Menuhin has given them all that wonderful Irish temperament. The two geldings from Finnicky show more size and more movement, but the fillies out of Asia have the compact - short coupled features of their mother, while Cadenza's boys inherit her super conformation and atheltic ability.

By year of foaling we have produced:

2001Grappelli SOLD(Cadenza)Grappelli, is a powerful, well built bay gelding well started under saddle, with an excellent temperament, super free-jumping talent, and ready to move ahead in training in any discipline, but ideally suited to a show jumping career. In this photo, taken July 2005, he is cooling out after a schooling by Anna, who reports that he is an ideal student.
2002Paganini(Cadenza)Paganini - shown in this photo taken by Andy Devlin/LA Media Photography at Edmonton Northlands Show - is more like Menuhin, with a heavier front end, and is turning grey like his sire. He loves people, and has two shows under his belt, winning a 5th place ribon in the 4 year old class at Edmonton in May 2007. He is quiet, compact, stands just over 16 hands now and turns five in August 2007. Ready to go to work for you. Lots of talent for show jumping, eventing, etc.
2003 George Enescu(Finnicky) George, shown in June 2007 photo with Shoshana Gordon on board, shows his fine conformation, presence and oustanding movement. He stands 16.2h already, and turned four in April this year. Has a wonderful mind, and learns fast, and is very well balanced already, though he has had only basic training. Super prospect for any discipline!
2004Lark Ascending(Fan's Asia)Lark is simply georgeous! Photo taken in 2006 shows her pretty face, but does not do justice to her golden highlights! Super conformation, well balanced canter, and as a newborn showed that she can jump. Ground broke, loves people. Turned three this year and believed to be now in foal to Gervantus II.
2004Kreisler("Brad")(Finnicky) Another fine colt out of Finnicky, should mature well over 16h, and is turning grey, friendly disposition, good mover, lots of potential here!
2005Estrellita(Fan's Asia)Another beautiful filly of of Fan's Asia - super mover and lovely temperament - super children's jumper prospect. She has more substance and bone than her dam, and more neck, with nice conformation all round. She is friendly, and used to people. She is named after the popular violin piece by Manuel Ponce.
