Scottie Scottie was sold to the Gilmore family in Michigan. It looks like he's found the perfect home! ElDiHans Gold N Mandy Intensified Gold X Skipens Sweet Magnolia Mandy has been residing with Dana Vaughan in Wisconsin now for about a year During that time, Dana has started her under saddle, become involved as an adult leader with the local 4-H club, found a child to work with Mandy in Showmanship and presented her at the County Fair just this past August. Dana said she was so clean you needed sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glare. These photos were taken of Miss Mandy being handled and loved by a crowd of children at County Fair in Omro, Wisconsin. Now in my humble opinion, this is what breeding Ponies Of The Americas is all about. She is about as calm as they come and Dana claims that no amount of money will get this mare off her farm. We feel like proud parents witnessing how rock solid this mare is and seeing the fantastic results Dana Vaughan has accomplished with her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Dana ~~~ ~ ~ Betsy and Dick ~ ~ Click below for more pictures of ElDiHans Gold N Mandy Katie Girl This lovely POA palomino mare was a birthday present for Kate - She is shown here in her new saddle and her Mom holding Katie Girl.

Thanks for sharing the photos with us - CG Rosette This lovely mare is CG Rosette (Reg. 1/2 Arabian and 1/2 POA). Rosie belongs to my niece, Megan Connolly and has been with her since 1990. Megan and Rosie grew up together and just within the last five years, Megan has been breeding this mare using artificial insemination. By using A.I. she has been able to create very select individuals - She first crossed Rosie with a Hanoverian stallion, Argosy - and produced CG Amore aka Ferris. Ferris has size standing 15.1 as a 2 year old, displays athleticism and type and will be an ideal candidate for Dressage, Hunter and Jumper Here is the link to Argosy www.littlebullrun.com - The second foal, Cooper, was born this spring as a direct result of AI breeding. Using the frozen semen of the deceased stallion, Cabaret, a 16.3 Holsteiner, (his link is www.hilltopfarminc.com) this flashy chestnut stud colt was created.
