Our 'little slice of heaven" is located just north of Tampa. We live on 10 acres with our three horses and two dogs.
Lilly, the Connemara filly, delivered a gorgeous filly in 2011. Her filly, Cypress Haven's Artful O'Mira is by the Connemara event stallion *Ardceltic Art. Lilly is by Ballencrieff's Brogan and out of Hideaway's Zwenski. I purchased her several years ago from Jim and Nancy Kilcrease of Elderglen Farm. She is a joy to ride. She loves belly scratches and trail rides. She completed her first in-hand show season with a Year End Grand Champion in FL Bred Model Pony and a Year End Reserve Champion in Model Pony at Sumter Equestrian Center's Hunter/Jumper Show Series.
2010 was Lilly's first year under saddle. She again went to the Sumter Equestrian Center show series and completed the year with a Reserve Grand Champion in Green Horse, Year End Third Place in Pre-Short/Long Stirrup Equitation and Year End Fifth Place in Pre-Short/Long Stirrup Hunters.
Bailey, the herd boss mare, enjoys her semi-retirement from eventing and jumping. Her new job includes toting around our 6 year old daughter, Emma. Emma would like to start some showing in leadline and walk classes, so Bailey will begin her new career soon.
