Hello everyone!
Currently I am making some exciting changes to SS and how accessible it is to everyone! My first task is to create a thread of well-established barns, each one with a little blurb of who they are, what they do, etc. I feel this thread may give newer members some inspiration, and if they see that certain members are specializing in things they like, they can also follow the barn and what they do with their horses. Part of being an active member of the community is actually getting to know everyone’s style and their horses too!
If you’d like your barn to be a part of this thread, please create a little blurb, and perhaps try to answer the questions below and feel free to add your own!
-Where is your barn located?
-Do you specialize in a certain breed?
-Do you specialize in a certain discipline?
-Do you have side stables for anything?
-What are your stable colours?
-What are your goals as a stable?
-Do you focus on breeding? Showing? Just playing the game?
-Tell us about a few of your best performing horses
Please don't be braggy, it's just an info thread! I tolerate no bragging, it's pixels guys! hahaha
As an example, here is Mockingbird’s…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
.:Mockingbird Estates & BlueJay Racing:.
Mockingbird Estates, founded in 2009, is currently located in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. At Mockingbird, the main focus is breeding and showing, as we do not specialize in any certain breed or discipline. Our side stable, BlueJay racing, is the absolute focus right now. BlueJay specializes in producing quality thoroughbred race horses, whether it be foundation horses or bred horses. With well over 500 horses at Mockingbird, and over 50 thoroughbreds at BlueJay, we undoubtedly hold the record for most horses in one stable. We have over 100 champion horses with the ultimate goal of champing every one of them eventually.
Here are a few of our prize horses:
FiL Designer Fury
Designer Fury, aka "Reiss", is a champion in 7 separate disciplines, giving her the record of most times champing in Mockingbird. We often don't enter one horse into more than one discipline because of the sheer number of horses we have, however with parents like hers we just couldn't resist. Reiss is a champion in Showmanship Show Jumping, In-Hand English, In-Hand Western, Endurance, Dressage, Showmanship Driving and Hunter Under Saddle.
Thunder Cat
Thunder Cat originated at BlueJay, went to train at Hard Tack, and was then brought back home. Thunder Cat is currently our top performing race horse. At Hard Tack, Thunder Cat had 10 1st places to his name, and 19/30 starts in top 3. At BlueJay, he has been raced 6 more times and has placed 1st in 4/6, placing 2nd and 4th in the other two races.
Our stable colours at Mockingbird & BlueJay are Royal Red, Gold, and Black.
