Today She is Officially Ours!


I'm talking about Whiscalina, a 17 hand, 2,5 year old Dutch Warmblood mare by Redford out of a Gribaldi mare.

Whiscalina was imported from Holland by Ken Mellish, owner of New Perth Farms, two years ago. She caught our eye from the first time we saw her. During her first two years in Canada we visited her regularly and during this time she has grown quite a bit and has become a beautiful big and strong mare.

Since she is only young, she still needs to learn a lot. Most importantly she has not been backed yet. During the next few weeks we will work with her on the lunge line and slowly work our way up there. Updates on how she is progessing will come... For now, I'm incredibly exited and happy with her beauty and willing attitude!
