Ancova Lainey Rain is doing very well with her new family:

Just thought I would let you know that Lainey went to her first outing last week. She behaved amazingly considering all the horses and things going on. She jumped two rounds. Sam took her to showjumping camp in the holidays - they had awesome time, we are bringing her on slowly and quietly - much to ponies disgust - she thinks she can jump the moon!! Sam popped her over a 90cm jump at the end of camp - she cleared it by miles! Sam's instructor loved her and said she has amazing scope and technique - said she will most likely go Grand Prix. We love her so much, she was measured today at 13.3hh, the vet said she will make 14 or 14.1 no problems at all, we are so glad we did not sell her, Sam has her sights on going to HOY with her in the next few years as she is able to stay on ponies for the next four seasons. Will keep you posted on her progress.

I just thought you would like an update on how Anika is doing; Isn't it funny how things go, from wanting to sell her earlier on, to now having people contact me wanting to buy her, and I'm not at all interested in parting with her. I took some nice photos of her a couple of weeks ago and thought you might like an update.

Her calm and level headedness impresses everyone that has anything to do with her, there are not many people that come into contact with her that have not remarked on her temperament and how lovely she is.

I am sending her off to get started in Feb 2010 and have a friend (as my time does not permit) who will ride her. My friend also loves to show, so I have my fingers quietly crossed that she may take her out and about. Will keep you posted!

We bought our first Haflinger cross ( Florentine ) from Ancova Farm early 09. She is an exceptional mare with a beautiful calm nature and has exceeded our expectations in her training. Well done Ancova for breeding such wonderful ponies.

I just wanted to say hi, and let you know how much I am enjoying having a foal to play with. Amber Lace is just wonderful.

The girls are so enjoying Lainey. Our older one has finally found enjoyment in horses once again. Lainey was so good for the farrier, she had a trim with no problems at all. She is filling out rather fast! I have had so many comments about her and have passed on your details to several people.

Millie had a colt early in the morning. I had a little trouble getting her to stand still for him to feed (she kept walking in circles trying to lick him!) but all is good now and he is strong and healthy. I absolutely love him! Thanks so much.

Kind regards,
Sarah
