From the early beginnings of our breeding program Kaleidoscope Farm has worked to produce talented youngsters with personality and great work ethic with both sporthorses and sportponies.

Whether they stay with us as another generation of breeding stock, go out to compete with enthusiastic new owners in dressage or eventing, or provide hours of pleasurable riding on trails, we are proud to say that this was a horse or pony bred by Kaleidoscope Farm.

For us, here at Kaleidoscope Farm, this is success and we thank both the owners and the talented equines that have made it happen.

****  Our thanks to everyone  ****

"MYSTIC"

 

Kaleidoscope's Mystic is a daughter of our foundation Connemara mare, Rebecca Star and was sired by Kaleidoscope₼s Shalako, one of the first stallions produced from our warmblood color breeding program.

Mystic was originally intended as a sportpony broodmare for Kaleidoscope but as years and old injuries dictated downsizing she was sent to Michelle Donlick in SC for training.

Once convinced working for a living wasn't all bad, Mystic discovered jumps were great fun and decided a career had its advantages. Shown on a very limited basis starting in the spring of 2008, Mystic and Michelle were 2nd at the first schooling event and never placed lower than 4th at Beginner Novice.

This flashy little mare is now with the Daily family in Atlanta, GA , a competition pony for the daughter. Mystic will be doing a bit of everything, from trail riding and Pony Club to hunters and eventing and is definitely enjoying the advantages of being an "only pony".

This promises to be a wonderful partnership and much of the credit must go to Michelle, for her very sensitive training methods and hours of hard work. Her website
www.avalofarm.com  details her use of Natural Horsemanship methods and the outstanding results she achieves.

 

 

"CONNE and BUDDY"

Not one but two Kaleidoscope "small horses" are the transition mounts for Kate. She finished her "pony class" career by qualifying the medium pony she trained for the National Pony Finals. From there she has gone to adult competition though she is still in her teens.




Concordia
is a lovely 15.1 hand bay mare sired by Contucci, acquired by Kaleidoscope through Greenstone Farm of Virginia. In her first show, against all adult riders, they placed well, with judge remarking later that he didn't realize this mare and rider were actually so small until he'd seen them in the lineup.
 
 

Buddy
 is a 15.2 hand pinto gelding bred by Kaleidoscope. He is currently doing a little bit of everything and seems to particularly enjoy galloping an outside course with his young owner.
 

 

"Windwalker"

Windwalker was the first pinto sporthorse stallion prospect from my warmblood breeding program, sired by Weltstern, out of Elegance, a tovero mare from a background that produced successful hunters and event horses.

As a 5 year old Walker went to Elderberry Stables in Washington state on a joint ownership and was later sold when both owners "downsized" to sportpony breeding almost exclusively.

He is now owned by Michelle Mayo and competes in his preferred discipline as a jumper. He is also her personal companion and joins her in many of her other interests, including becoming a "Cowboy Horse" for a photo shoot for the 2006 Cowgirl Calendar.

Now gelded, Walker is in his "forever home" but his legacy will continue at Kaleidoscope with two daughters that remain in the sportpony breeding program.

 

 

"LIBERTY"



Liberty
is a willing and talented little mare sired by our foundation Connemara stallion Stonybrooks Curragh Kildare. A people-oriented small pony with a huge stride and jump for her size, she was 2nd at her first "schooling show" at a local hunter pace with the balance of the team mounted on Thoroughbreds.

Liberty's first trial ride with her new owner included a quick canter to the end of the arena after instructions to "kick lightly" resulted in a much firmer cue than necessary from a rider accustomed to school ponies. The reaction was a huge grin and "WHEE! She GALLOPS!"

Both Zoe and Liberty are talented "little ones" and we wish them both great success in their career together!

 

 

"Fritz"



"Fritz" is a gelding from the first foal crop I bred by my foundation Oldenburg stallion Weltstern. Out of a Thoroughbred mare, he was sold as a yearling and now events with his owner in the northwest.

He competed two years with Shea at Prelim with several placings in the top five. Shea says  he is an incredible event horse, probably the best she will ever hope to have and was so reliable even as a 6 year old a local 12 year old girl won 4H hunter classes with him when he was literally a last-minute substitute for her own horse who went lame.

Shea and Fritz are now competing at Intermediate and we are looking forward to hearing of future successes for this pair for many years to come.
