July 2009-
Deer Park Remarkable aka "Remi" arrived safely in
Storr, CT and begins her life with our friend Stacey
Stearns. Pictures to follow soon!
Remi's big brother Smithsonian aka "Ian" will be
making the trip to Santa Barbara with his owner and
trainer Mallory after winning both of his classes at
the Wheat State Regional and placing in the top 2 at
Circle J. He is improving with every class and he
LOVES the outdoor show ring.

June 2009: This photo
was taken the week of "Stevie's" (Ribbon in the Sky)
first birthday. She is recovering from a very
traumatic accident. For now, we are just happy to
have Stevie with her bright eyes and her incredible
athletic physical self and we know that she is going
to get through this. She still has her lower jaw
wired and her baby teeth appear to have kept that
anchored. New xrays and new decisions for next steps
will be made by the end of June if all goes well.
We're all hopeful that her recovery will lead to us
being able to move Stevie to Laramie and start her
lessons with Mallory - when, of course, she is
ready.
We wanted to thank everyone who have sent the kindest notes - and who have kept Stevie in their prayers.
Keep up the energy and positive thoughts ... it all matters.
 Very special thanks go to Dr. Robert Parker and Charity Cook, his vet technician, who have done such a great job putting
this filly back together and continuing her recovery steps. |

March 2009: News from David
Macmillan, trainer of our stallion, A Better Soldier-"Soldier
is doing great and responding well to training. He
loves his new home and I find him chatting often to
his new friend next door - a very sweet gelding.
He is still using his inside voice more willingly
which is great. He is offering a little more under
saddle now which is good too. His condition is
magnificent - muscular yet sleek."
"Horse Illustrated and their readers have nominated
me and Winston as people's choice dressage horse
of the year which is fun. They are going to run
an article about me and him which is fun. He also
won all the national and regional awards at Int 2
level. He is going into GP this season. So
fun!!" - David

Sired by one of the most beautiful sons of
Mt. Laurel Maximillian and out of a great
producing daughter of I Will Command, "Ian"
is the best of both. Destined to grow
beyond 15.2 hands. Kind, smart and fun.
Congratulations to Mallory Mignot of Laramie, WY on the purchase of this young quality stallion. |

December 2008- Rum Brook Immortal
Cachet arrived
in December after making the trip from Massachusetts to Nevada with Jim Coombes, who took great care of her. "Shay" was born in 2000 at Rum
Brook Farm in Epping, NH. She is very closely related to one of my first
mares, Rum Brook Victoria who was a half sister to Immortal and she has
the looks of Torrie's daughter, d'Vision who was double Vision and Flash
blood. Cachet came from Blackthorn Morgans where she was a family
friend and produced one gorgeous colt in '08 by their nice stallion
Frederique. She was a great mother and she is just beautiful. Thanks
to David Ladd and his family for making it possible for Shay to come to Snowview.

November 2008: Deer Park Remarkable is the last foal from the INCREDIBLE "I Will
Command" daughter, Quail Run Dominique. Dom has been living at Wes and
Rebecca Hompe's
Deer Park Farm and over the past 5 years produced three
incredible full siblings all sired by Deer Park Graphic Design. These
were also Dom's 11th, 12th and 13th foals!! She is an incredible
broodmare!! "Remi" came into this Earth with her big eyes, her big trot and
her big loving heart. Becky and I did some trading because I had
wanted a daughter from this cross- and she had both of them. I
had the colt, Smithsonian who was purchased
by Mallory Mignot, head trainer at Mears Morgans in Wyoming.
Mallory and Ian are making a great team already and have a great
future ahead. With Ian's size and handsome good looks we see
roses in their future. And I also had the
Graphic daughter Grace, and so we worked it out.
Then our dear friend,
Stacey Stearns mentioned that it was clear that her darling "Johnny" was
not going to be big enough for her long legs. When I asked if she
thought Remi would be she lit up like a Christmas Tree! YESSSSSSSssssssss!! And so we have worked it out and when the time
comes Holly will still have a chance to breed Remi and produce the next
generation of beautiful, big and athletic offspring and in the meantime
Stacey has a fabulous candidate to bring along slowly, take dressage
lessons with, and develop a life long friendship with.
The sidebar to this is that Stacey was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkins
lymphoma in September. She has begun her treatments and she is
surrounded by family and friends from all corners of New England and
around the US. One of Stacey's young riders has set up a
website so she
can let folks know how she is doing and write notes to her any time they
want.
We hope you
visit Stacey's
website and we will keep our friend and her family in our prayers.

Fenway Park (The Phantom of the Opera X Blythewood Acappella), aka "Carl", has worked his way into the heart and and life of Kristi Haines
of Mass. and every little girl that comes to the barn at Erin Von Steenburg's for lessons. Carl is only 3 this year but he has the size and depth
of body that only makes us smile as we think about the possibilities this handsome, correct and athletic son of Phantom and Leah hold in store for
the future.
Kristi is an accomplished
young rider with NEMH and USDF Year End awards as well
as her first World Championships at OKC in 07. There is nothing more gratifying than selling a horse to such a capable and talented horseman except for being able to
say "Thank you Kristi for loving Carl as we do - and for
believing in him as we do - we'll be there to cheer for you and Carl as you launch your dressage career for the future." love - holly |

September
2008: Fenway Park (The Phantom of the Opera X Blythewood
Acappella) is proving to be an exceptional 3 year old in both body and
mind. He and his owner, Kristi Haines, are progressing famously with their saddle
training and relationship. We couldn't be happier as we watch them grow together and
mature into an impressive team.

March 2008: Smithsonian (Deer
Park Graphic Design X Quail Run Dominique), 2 year old stallion, is developing into a big and bold athlete
in his new home at Mears Morgans. Purchased last winter by head
trainer Mallory Mignot for her own personal mount, Mallory is thrilled
with his progress, acceptance and work ethic. Under her skilled and
accomplished instruction "Ian" is destined to join the ranks of her top
quality show string as an up and coming star. Mallory has just returned
from OKC Morgan Grand Nationals with the World Champion Jumper as well
as a 3 year old mare and a 4 year old gelding who were in the top of
their very competitive Jr Hunter Pleasure qualifiers and championships!
Congratulations to Mallory and we genuinely look forward to seeing Ian
performing.

2008:
New Partners:
Fenway Park is getting along famously in Massachusetts with his new owner, Kristi Haines. They are riding and performing well together and Kristi says he is unflappable as he just takes everything in stride. We know their smiles will only get bigger as they grow together. |

2006- Congratulations to Melissa, David & Melissa Mackenzie
of Passekeag, New Brunswick, Canada, the proud new owners of Clear
Intentions (Futurity First Edition X LCS Fine Crystal), who is fondly known to us as Claire Rose. Young Melissa is now the third generation of Morgan enthusiasts in this family.
In their first public appearance and competition Melissa and Claire were the star attractions. They excelled together in the gaits of the pleasure classes and the patterns of the equitation workouts. When the weekend was done some of their accomplishments included:
1st in Novice Rider Equitation;
2nd in Novice Rider Pleasure under saddle;
2nd Novice Pleasure Horse;
2nd in Limit Pleasure Horse;
3rd in CMHA Youth Challenge Equitation. Snowview could not be happier in the pairing of these two individuals. We are so proud of
how well they are working together and look forward to their bright future and continued success. WAY TO GO GIRLS !!
March 2009 update-Claire is for sale. If someone is looking for a "most
beautiful" and "most excellent" Morgan mare to take care of a jr ex rider - both huntseat and western -
"Claire" would be perfect! I have
info and she is located in New Brunswick - a loving wonderful home of
course is a must for this sweet gal. Email me for more info.

Winter 2005- Congratulations to Triple Sweet Morgans, Ed Sweet and Family on their purchase of Equinox Portia! Having just arrived in Nevada
a few short months ago, it was tough to let such a wonderful mare leave again.
But her new home in the beautiful hills of upstate New York will be a dramatic backdrop for this eye-catching dark mare.
