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.

"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.

 

 

 

"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.
