Offspring

Just thought you might like to see one of your grandson's at 31/2. This is Snowbird Confetti, lovingly known at home as Duley. We purchased him from Eric Beene a year ago and he is going great guns for our 16 year old daughter Devon. She took him from a green pasture baby to Halter and jumper winner in his first year of showing. He is a huge boy already at 16'3 and the vet saids at least another two inches. He is curious, loving and more then willing.

He didn't really become a part of our family until about 5 months ago when Devon was working him on the slippery grass and he fell right on top of her. He laid there a moment, shimmied his body enough to let her get out from underneath him, and then still waited for her to tell him he could get up. Luckily both of them were fine, but from that moment on, he follows her no matter where she goes.

I wanted to write to you and tell you how wonderful Butterfly is doing. On June 19th and 20th, we showed at the Del Mar fair 4-h show, and did wonderful. She showed in showmanship, english pleasure and the English Equitation Medal class. She won the Showmanship, won reserve in the english pleasure and we won the medal class. She's doing really well on the appy circuits too. at the last show she won the color class, there were 5 entries, and she won the hunter n hand mares, there were 4 entries.

Her full sister Tyme for Chocklate is also doing extremely well on the ApHC circuit!

Stryker was a champ! He was so well behaved – I am so proud of him. He handled it all in stride – the bathing, braiding, trailering, show environment, silly horses, etc. In the ring he did everything that I asked – he posed, he strided out, etc. Of course he placed under the big fancy warmblood but still scored a 70.9. The judges comments were very fair – she said the he was very well balanced and functionable but needed more thrust in his trot. He had scores between 7 – 7.8 on the test. His walk was the highest.

Hi Mellanie,

I hope that your summer is going well and that time is helping to heal the loss of your dear friend. Stryker is growing up into a fine young man. We was gelded in early May and is slowly excepting being a gelding. He still likes to flirt with the girls but it is getting better. He is still holding pretty steady at 15.1-15.2 but I figure he has about 5 more years to grow.

This past weekend I took him to a local open show. I was very proud of his performance in the English horse halter class – I had no hopes of placing but wanted the practice of standing still and being quite. To my surprise he stood still for the majority of the class, called once and never droppedJ. I was thrilled – he made quite the impression at the show for all of the ‘right’ reasons.

Next we entered an in-hand trail class – he came away class ChampionJ. I think the judge was doubly impressed as when he was walking across the bridge and it tipped over (good construction – lol) that he didn’t panic – he just stepped off. I plan on taking him to some of the USDF shows in July, Aug, and Sept. I will keep you posted!

I hope all is well with your family and your ponies!

I have attached some proof photos of Butterfly Confetti from this year. She is doing extremely well. She is holding her own against some of the better known hunter in hand horses. She has earned 3 national points this year in the aphc youth color, all at one show too. It was a four point show, she placed 1st by two judges, and 2nd by the other two. She has a 1 point in the open aphc color, 1 point in hunter in hand mares and one point in the open hunter in hand mares. Pretty good for a coming 3 yr old with less than a year of showing on the appy circuts. Oh, and picture credit to Lee Locke of Locke Photography.

6 firsts and 2 seconds. with a high point amateur rider award 69.524%......68.0% at our final show.

It was a very fun and exciting weekend for us. This was Stryker's first overnight away from home so it was a bit stressful for mom. I wasn't sure how we would be received or if we were even in the league to compete in the USDF shows. What a surprise - he was the hit of the show - people just LOVED him. He can definitely hold his own against the big boys. Even some of the big breeders commented favorably on him.

He was just stunning at the show and very well behaved. We got a 72.9% :-). We still placed 3/3 but we were within tenths of the 2nd place score (I never found out what the winner had). The 2nd place horse was just imported from Germany. Both he and the first horse had really nice trots. As this was my first show - I learned some of the tricks for next year. Apparently the judge, at least at this show, rewarded the horses that acted up - granted they had their fanciest movement moments after exploding - but still....

I am way into manners - Stryker was the best behaved horse there. Although he did get really keyed up before the class - I don't know if he was feeding off of me or just atmosphere - but as soon as it was over, he deflated and was his normal self. He was screaming quite a bit before we went in and was pumped up, but it made for an imposing conformation pose for the 45 seconds that he held it.....

I plan on doing the series next year as a two year old. I am going to enter him into the All Breeds program and try for a year end award. It was a really great experience. This one was rather scary as we had a horrible storm come through shortly after we arrived on Friday. The tornado sirens went of twice and we had torrential rain. Once the storm passed we practiced in the arena and it was calf deep water in places. But despite that, he put on his manly face and was very bold and confident. However when he got home, it seemed like he shrunk 12 inches and became a baby again when he was back with the boys. He was also very tired. It was a big 2 days for him. We are very proud of him!!!

USDF Breeders Qualifier in Burbank at the Cool August Nights Show. I could not be more pleased with the results!

Blanca Chocolati placed 2nd in the open 06 fillies class and qualified for the championship filly class.

Blanca is a 06 filly by Butterwap Confetti and Confetti's Red Rose (17.2h Chocklate daughter)

Spiced Hot Chocklate also placed 2nd in the 06 open colt division which also qualified him for the championship class.

This awesome colt is by Butterwap Confetti and Golden Winfall a JC reg mare. SOLD

Many Thanks to my good friend T.J. Walker for helping me show these youngsters. With out her help this would have been nearly imposable.

Chocklate waped moose placed 3rd behind our other colt. Moose is sired by Butterwap Confetti and out of Annie a Chocklate Confetti NC daughter. Congrats to the owners of this lovely colt. Dan and Nikki Gilbert.

I thought you might like to know how Butterfly Confetti did at the July 23rd
Calizona show. She got a 3rd in the open all breed color, a 2nd in the ApHC
color, a 2nd in hunter in hand mares, a 1st in youth hunter in hand mares
and a 1st in performance horse at halter(open all breed). She did very well.
She actually seemed to like it. I had alot of people comment about her
hunter in hand performance. One person said she was the loudest hunter in
hand mare they'd seen. I am very proud of her, shes everything I've wanted
in a horse. I expect this to be a good show season with her!

Isaac has started his career in dressage and is doing exceptionally well. Shown both training and 1st level in the fall of 2005. Scores in the upper 60's and low 70's

Glad to see you received the pics of Kaelin and Silk. They were on the first place team at the United States Pony Club Championships for Show Jumping—regular division. Their jumps ranged from 3’3” to 3’9”.

Hi Mellanie, this is Kaelin Creange. Just updating you on how Silk has done lately. Last weekend we competed in Pony Club’s Show Jumping Rally in the 3’3”-3’9” class, and she was amazing. We had two clear rounds that would’ve been three if I hadn’t made a slight directional error that gave us some time faults. But even with my mistake, we came in second overall, first in the jump off, and we qualified for the East Coast National Championships that takes place end of July. Here is picture of us at Show Jumping rally last weekend. Enjoy J

Connie was shown briefly as a Eventer years ago, and has Chocklate's fearless temperament. I took her to our first Dressage show 7-11-04 And was very pleased on our day. I have only been on he back 15 times, and was thrilled with how hard she tried, and we even received a third place in our second class. Not bad after sitting in pasture for years.

Connie is confirmed in foal to Oreo for a 05 baby. Offers will be considered for foal in utero. Plus baby should definitely be homozygous like mom and dad.

Confetti's Jewel. Another great Sport horse bred by Confetti Farms currently competing.

Currently winning in training level dressage in NY state with owner Laurie Cresswell. I also wanted to show you Audacious. This pic was taken last summer but she won her training level division last year with an overall score of 68%. It was just local schooling shows but I was still proud of her considering we only got a few shows in.

I have enclosed a pic of Bear schooling over fences at an indoor show this winter. He was champion working hunter. We will be heading to St. Clements in a few days. It is an A show and he did quite well there last year. I have him half leased to a dressage rider and he was champion 1st level horse last week. He also got the best score in his training level combined training. I know he is ready to go on to preliminary. If my shoulder was not so bad I would give it a shot but I could not handle that kind of jumping anymore. I really want to keep these lines going. Chocolate's babies are just wonderful. O Ready is like a big dog. I read the article in the journal and was so glad to see you get some publication. They really have the movement that I feel is needed for the FEI dressage ring. I would like to sell Bear this year for sure because I am putting up an indoor and I would like to farther by breeding program. I would appreciate any help. I am asking $25,000 He is broke to death up to 2nd level dressage, eventing, hunters, and equitation, and he even has done some hunter paces. He also is the best horse I have ever rode on the trails. He is very laid back and amateur safe if you know anyone looking.

Silkie is a beautiful filly with breathtaking movement. She is registered with the American Warmblood Society , has been inspected and is eligible for branding. At the inspection , she received the highest scores of the day for her trot and temperament. At the end of the show, we were asked to turn her back out into the arena (freeplay) so everyone could see her awesome movement.

Kaelin and Silk have been busy this spring! These pictures were taken at a pony club show jumping competition. They were jumping about 3 ft. Silk has become a very natural jumper. Kaelin especially loves riding her cross country. She used Silk for her C3 rating (a fairly high level test) and they were great riding cross country. Silk is a very fast learner…all the instructors are amazed at how far the pair has come in a short time. Kaelin is going to start her eventing this fall. Will keep you posted on how she does.

No roaning yet. Still a beautiful bay! Everyone is always shocked by her breeding. Kris and Kaelin
