Xquisite 2004 filly 7.5
Xceptshan ox x Shades
Of Spring
Breeder/Owner Vivanne Macdonald, Arthur ON
"Xquisite is a 3/4 Arabian filly by Xceptshahn (Bey Shah
X RSD Khaptivation) and out of Shades of Spring (Shannazon X
Shades of Summer). The dark bay filly is double registered ASPR
and Half-Arabian and is entered into the
Arabian Sweepstakes program.
"Xquisite (aka Luna) was inspected at the April ASPR inspection
in Ontario at three weeks of age. Both she and her dam went
First Premimum at the first inspection in Ontario/Canada East.
Scoring a 7.5 with comments like 'Cute Factor' and 'Very Appealing
Filly', Luna captured the attention of everyone at the inspection.
She took to the travelling and showring like she had been born
to it, never putting a foot wrong and leading around perfectly.
"Her dam, Shades of Spring, is due in May to the imported
Welsh Sect B stallion *Stockham Commander M, owned by Morton
Stables, Sharon, Ontario. Both stallion and foal will be APSR
inspected in 2005."
Sport Pony Magazine profiled Xquisite's dam,
Shades of Spring, in our July/August 2004 issue. |

Wicked Storm 2004 Colt 7.7
Wicked Courtjester/Shadow
Owner/Breeder: Stuart E Leland, New Hope PA
"Shadow came to us by chance through a rescue group. We
were looking for a kind and bomb-proof large pony to teach our
son about horses. When I first laid eyes on her I sensed she
had potential. She has a beautiful head, neck and topline with
a kind eye. She was smart and willing but not the best mover.
I hoped to build upon her body-type by picking a sire with substantial
leg bone, a strong hind-end and with exceptional movement.
"After doing a national search on the web, we saw a picture
of Wicked Courtjester and contacted his owner Lesley Feakins.
When we met him, he was so regal looking and fit. Lesley let
him loose in the arena and he jumped 2'6" and then, taking
two strides in the three, sailed over the 3'. When we raised
the jumps he cleared them with ease. I’d never seen an
athlete with such a joyous approach to work. His positive, take-no-prisoner
but do-it-with-a-smile attitude was a winning combination. When
Lesley allowed my then-5-year-old son to enter Wicked’s
stall unattended, I knew we had a good match.
"Lesley introduced us to the world of the American Sport
Pony, and ASPR allowed us to have the foal inspected as long
as we agreed to have the mare inspected at the same time. At
the inspection, we met many wonderful and supportive people
and the judges were very informative. They affirmed what I always
felt about Shadow, giving her high marks (an 8 for type with
an overall score of 7.5). Of course, the biggest thrill came
when they announced Stormy as the site champion in the pony
division. What a thrill all of this has been for us and we look
forward to meeting new friends and having more adventures in
the future." |
