Forrest Flame – October 2008
It is with mixed emotions that we offer our congratulations to the new owners of Forrest Flame. The Richards Family purchased this amazedly talented dressage pony for their daughter Meghan as a schoolmaster. We would like to thank them for allowing us to collect and freeze a substantial amount of frozen semen from Forrest Flame before he went under surgery for castration. We wish Forrest and Meghan all the very best in their future together.

Facing tough competition, Dream On (aka McDreamy) was presented with the coveted First Premium Award and came in 2nd in his group of Rousseau foals. Included in the inspectors’ comments were that he was very correct in conformation and had very correct legs, plenty of power from behind. Dream On qualified for the Foal Championship and at the end of the day in a large group of truly outstanding foals, he placed 4th.
Congratulations to his owner Erin Reardon who had purchased this outstanding colt in utero.

ISR/OLDENBURG INSPECTIONS
AUGUST 4TH 2008
Hosted by Trevelyan Farm
Due to the large number of foals, mare and colts to be presented with a total of 18 horses to be prepared for the inspection, we were extremely grateful that the Inspector, Christian Schacht traveled to us this year.
A big thank you for all the friends and supporters who turned out to help and to Angela Sasso for running them all and Brandon Aukamp, my right hand man.
First up were the mares without foals;
2005 Forrest Gund by Forrest Flame o/o Valentina by Valentino (New Forest pony) who made it into the Main Mare Book with a total score of 103 pts.
2005 Whimsical by Wicked Courtjester o/o Ster mare Wielgerma’s Maud by Nieuwmoeds Patrick thrilled us all by making it into the Premium Mare Book with a terrific score of 107 pts. Whimiscal scored an 8 for her beautiful head.
She was bred by us and purchased as a weanling by Kim Crandell of CA. and we would like to thank Kim for having faith in us to raise this fabulous young mare here at the farm. Congratulations Kim!
2000 Charisma by Contucci o/o Kokomo Daydream by At The Threshold bred by us and owned by Cara Klothe made it into the Main Mare Book with a total score of 103 pts. Congratulations Cara!
2008 Pony Foals
Me Oh My – sire Wedderlie Mardi Gras o/o Wicked Z/Wicked Courtjester scored 7.8, 7.8, 8.0 overall score was 7.8. Me Oh My was at an awkward stage of growth standing a good couple of inches taller behind.
Wembly – sire Wicked Courtjester o/o Zauberelle/Zauberklang scored 7.8, 8.3, 8.1 giving him an overall score of 8.1
Florence – sire Forrest Flame o/o Premium mare Winslette scored 8.2, 8.4, 8.3
Giving her an overall score of 8.3 and as she had no score lower than an 8.0 in any one category, under the new scoring system, Florence was awarded Premium Foal Award
What Evah – sire Wicked Courtjester o/o Jacodi’s Bo’s Bonnie by Merrie Moscan scored 7.9 8.2 8.1 giving her an overall score of 8.1
Warmblood Foals
Fargo – sire Festraush o/o Giselle by Giotto unfortunately was a little under par on the day of inspections and had bumped his fetlock in the paddock the day before, leaving a swelling and generally was not himself. He scored 7.2, 8.0, 8.2 with an overall score of 7.9. Rather a shame as this colt is spectacular in every way and on a different day could have easily walked off with a premium award.
Padrisimo – sire Pablito o/o Rockette/Reno was definitely on form and scored 8.0 8.2 8.0 with an overall score of 8.1 . Bred by us and owned by Stephanie Dixon, Padrimiso was given a Premium Foal Award. Congratulations Stephanie!
We presented three 2 yr old colts for an unofficial pre inspection.
This can sometimes be helpful to get a fresh opinion as to whether you are on the right track in keeping these colts as stallion prospects.
First up was Far Above Par – sire Forrest Flame o/o Hoppenhof’s Merel/Braamhoeve Orian. Bred and owned by Jennifer Bingham Johnson. The Inspector was very impressed with his correct confirmation and correct way of moving and it was recommended that he be kept as a stallion prospect and be presented for the approvals next year as a 3 yr old. Congratulations Jennifer.
Second up was Wasabi – sire Wicked Courtjester o/o Jacodi’s Bo’s Bonnie/Merrie Moscan. Bred and owned by Trevelyan Farm. Inspector’s comments were “walk & canter very well balanced, super trot, very powerful…..I don’t know anyone is going to be able to sit that trot…by that’s not our problem”. LOL!
Last one up was De Feiner Star – sire De Laurentis o/o Feiner Dance by Feiner Stern. A warmblood colt, which like the colts above, have been in our young horse raising program since weaning. Out of Meg Sherman’s lovely mare and owned by Greg Strait and Melinda Brown both from CA., Star blew everyone away with his presence and movement. We didn’t really need the Inspector to tell us that he was a strong stallion prospect… it was clear to see. A beautiful colt in every way and we can’t wait to see more of this young stallion as he matures.
Congratulations to Cory Gregory on the sale of this fabulous pony mare Winsom Courtjester.
I think there is no guessing who her sire is?
ASPR Inspections hosted at Watermark Farm, PA.
July 19th 2008
FF Figero and Fenwick - First Premiums!
We had the pleasure of presenting FF Figero and Fenwick on behalf of breeder/owner Suzy Stafford to the ASPR. Figero is a yearling, having missed his inspection last year and Fenwick is this year's 08 colt, full siblings, both out of Quest and sired by Forrest Flame.
Figero
Both were exceptionally well behaved and it was a true delight to present them. Fenwick scored 8.2 for his type, blew us away with his trot and with his overall score of 7.8 he was awarded Reserve Champion.
Fenwick
Figero couldn't have been more relaxed and one of the Judge's written commented was "well mannered" as well as "Excellent use of back in the walk & good swing".
He certainly impressed us, it was as though he had been showing all his life.
His overall score was also 7.8.
Update on Caramel Crunch at the first ever National Pony Dressage Cup/ Cincinnati Summer Dressage Classic 6/27 - 6/29 2008
Caramel Crunch, bred by us and purchased by Dianna Orana placed 1st in Intro Test A with a 68.5% and placed 2nd in Intro B with a 69%. Ridden by Jill Hardt in dressage, Caramel Crunch took a short break from competing in the hunter ring to take part in the first ever National Pony Dressage Cup...what a star!
Congratulations to the Crunch team!
Outstanding scores in dressage from Whizbang
Just wanted to give an update on Whizbang...you may remember this handsome guy. He is sired by Wicked Courtjester and out of a lovely NFP mare named Jennifer. We had sold him to a wonderful lady in Florida, Illene Blicblum.
This 2007/08 show season Whizbang competed at the American ConCours Dressage Show in Venice, FL. at Training Level where he won his classes with a 70.5% and the second score was 71.5%.
Then more recently he showed at Wellington, The Palm Beach ConCours Finale, FL. where he showed at First Level and won his class with a 73.5%. Not only did he win the class, his score was higher than any other horse in any other division at the entire show for the weekend. Pretty impressive and especially for a pony!

The National Dressage Pony Cup will hold its inaugural show on June 28th and 29th, 2008 at Paxton Farm in Cincinnati Ohio and Trevelyan Farm is proud to be a sponsor.
The show was created by a group of pony owners in order to promote ponies, their breeders and riders in Dressage competition in the United States. Ponies of all breeds are invited to attend the USDF/USEF show held in conjunction with Paxton Farms Summer Classic. The ponies will be officially measured at the show unless they already have a permanent measurement card. Thanks to generous donations and sponsorships, the show will be able to award some fantastic prizes and recognize the achievements of the winning ponies. There are also rider awards for youth and adult riders, high point breed specific awards and even a special award for the oldest pony competing. Classes will be held on Saturday and Sunday, the pony cup consists of one class per day per level, Intro through FEI. Ponies may compete in more than one level and/or with more than one rider. We are planning an Award Ceremony after the classes are completed on Sunday, complete with photographer and videographer. For more information visit the show website at www.dressageponycup.com.
