Santana is a great addition to our herd.  We are excited
about this mare's ability in harness.  We are looking
forward to driving her this summer at a few shows.  
Santana is a King Cong daughter coming from a strong
Canadian mare family.  She represents a good mix of
the top American and Canadian bloodlines and we are
looking forward to incorporating this mare into our
breeding program.

Windermere's Santana
Jody is a good example of the balanced kind of
broodmare we have worked to integrate into our
breeding program.  This mare is an exceptional cart
horse and we are very proud of her accomplishments
in the halter ring as well.  This past show season she
was 1st, Sr. and Grand Champion Mare at the Sussex
Fair.   We are pleased with Jody's production record
so far and have kept some of her daughters in our
herd.  She is bred to
Windermere's In Command for
2010.  Jody was Reserve Champion mare at the 2009
Maritime Fall Fair.
Savanna is one of the newest additions to our herd
and we are extremely excited about this big
Windermere King Cong daughter.  The bottom side of
this mare's pedigree is just as strong as she is an
own daughter of the renowned Bittersweet Cheri
Dragano.  Savanna is a big, broody mare with an
exceptional foot and a substantial amount of clean,
flat bone.  We are excited about showing this mare in
halter this summer and using her in the driving classes
as well.

Update:  We lost Savannah this summer but will
continue on with her filly, Belle Ryans Bittersweet Era.
Patti Lou is a mare we purchased in 2008 along
with her filly, Emmy Lou, who is by World Champion
Windermere's Inferno.  We had a good year with
Patti Lou this past show season.  She was 1st, Sr.,
Gr., and Supreme Champion of the Maritime Fall Fair
in Halifax.  Patti Lou is a big mare standing over 18
hands and she has a huge foot to go along with it.  
She is quite differently bred than a lot of the mares
out there today and her bloodlines are a good
representation of some old, quality breeding horses,
both American and Canadian.  This mare's size is
explained by the occurrence of Panther Valley
Donald, a large, good footed stallion, and her quality
can be attributed in part to her grandsire, Highview
Dragano.  She is also line bred with Innishugh Duke,
a horse who influenced many successful breeding
programs of the past.

Patti Lou is bred to the 2010 World Champion,
Windermere's North American Maid
Vermillion Patti Lou
Leah is a daughter of our good cart mare
Eyebright's Jody.  She is a great tempered mare
and we enjoyed exhibiting her at a few fairs this
summer.  She was first in the three year old mare
class at the Lawrencetown Fair.  We are looking
forward to using her to drive this year.  We will be
breeding her to Windermere's In Command.

Emmy Lou is by the 2008 World Champion Stallion,
Windermere's Inferno.  She is the daughter of our
Patti Lou mare who we drive in the wheel of our
4-up.  Emmy has a tremendous front end and a
great foot which she inherits from both sides of
her pedigree.  We are excited about continuing to
show this exceptional, modern filly.

We would like to thank Albert and Karen Cleve for
selling us this great former All American.  She is a
good driving mare and has a world of talent.  We
are very excited to welcome her to our hitch, halter
string and broodmare band!
Isabelle is a full sister to the current World
Champion Men's Cart and National Champion Men's
Cart horse.  We are excited to get some foals from
this great moving daughter of Cedarfarm Ontario.
Era is by the National Champion Briar Hill
Trademark.  She is out of Blue Ribbon Farms
Savannah, making her a direct descendant of
Bittersweet Cheri Dragano.  We are very excited
about the potential this filly has to be a hitch and
halter competitor at the highest levels of
competition.
