Cindrl our 17hh FPS Frieisan Mare was recently selected as a finalist during the 2007 Equine Essential Model Horse Search. She now adorns the Flaxsheen Moisturizing Mist product that is being marketed all over North America! Congratulations and thanks to photographer and author Ilona Haus for her winning photograph of Cindrl.

After 2 full years of hard work 10 acres of corn have been successfully converted to lush paddocks and our new jumper ring. The brand new fencing includes 4 strand electro-braid and wire mesh on the side of Northfield Drive. This will allow for rotation of paddocks during the summer and ensure a good supply of grass for the whole season.

After much time, effort and sand a new jumper ring opened at Sanmar! This ring has an excellent sand footing and is equipped with a professional set of jumps. This ring provides an experience for the Sanmar riders equivalent to an 'A' Level jumping show. In addition the ring is conditioned regularly with our new professional ring conditioner.

This week we acquired a set of 10 professional jumps that came to our farm direct from the Niagara and Collingwood "A" level shows! We hope that our riders and horses will enjoy the new colours and shapes!

The construction of the new jumper ring has begun with earth movers and tractors. Sand is being trucked in and levelling has begun. The ring will include a "Devil's Dyke", a water jump and a bank and a table jump.
