An Impressive NE Debut!

Another New England has come and gone and this one had the nicest weather in history! But let's be honest, anyone that was watching the New England show this year knows that SSLLC has a lot more to talk about than the weather! During the Friday afternoon session, the Morgan world witnessed the debut of SSLLC Vantage Point, our dynamic two year-old son of Serenity Masterpiece and out of SSLLC Colour My World (HVK Man About Town x AFF Evening Episode). This athletically captivating colt made heads turn as he marched into the ring with such style, no one could take their eyes off him. With Luman Wadhams at the lines, this pair was unstoppable claiming the blue ribbon and exiting the ring leaving the crowd begging for more!

Great job 'Ace' and thanks to Luman for making this a New England we will never forget! Here’s to the future!

A Fabulous Inaugural Bluegrass Classic!

SSLLC had more success in the hunter ring with the gorgeous SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy at the Bluegrass Morgan Classic held in Lexington, Kentucky. Taking first place in the Hunter Pleasure Ladies Gelding qualifier, 'Ind'’ and Mary went on to win the Ladies Hunter Pleasure Championship the next day! That makes two Ladies Championships at two shows in a row! Inquires are invited on this fantastic five year-old!

Schengrund Stables would also like to congratulate SSLLC Bold Moves, now owned by Laura Kay, who made his show ring debut at Bluegrass. 'Cooper' is the future equitation mount for Laura’s daughter Cameron and is being shown in the English Pleasure division this year by Mary Carlton. 'Cooper' looked great in the 3 year-old English Pleasure qualifier, taking top honors and ended up making a reserve championship victory pass in the English Pleasure Junior Horse championship! Congrats to Laura, Cam, and Mary on a wonderful debut of this grand gelding! We can’t wait to see Cameron show him next year!

A 'Supreme' Mid-A!

SSLLC made a grand showing at the 2010 Mid-A Morgan Horse Show held in Lexington, Virginia. Our elegant 5 year-old gelding, SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy (Born To Boogie x Brio Bell Martell), made quite an impression in Hunter Pleasure divisions under the direction of Mary Carlton of Crystal Farms. "Indy" won his qualifier, took reserve champion honors in the Open Hunter Pleasure division, and championship honors in the Ladies Hunter Pleasure division! Clearly a dominant force in the hunter ring for many years to come, this special guy is ready to go for any amateur or junior exhibitor!

Thank you to Mary, Chris, Dani, and Jake for all of their hard work in making this a wonderful horse show for us and for 'Indy'! We look forward to having lots of fun at this show under the Crystal Farms banner for many years to come!

He's Outrajus!

Our fifth foal finally made his way into the world on March 24th at 11:15pm. Mama was waxed five days in advance so we were starting to wonder if the little one was coming to join us or not... I guess he wanted to make sure everyone was ready to properly greet him!

This handsome brown colt is by the fabulous CCR's Outrajus Corajus and out of Futurity's Touch Of Harley, her final foal of 2010. This colt is all legs and neck! Within an hour of birth, this smarty was standing and nursing like he had been doing it forever. We cannot wait to see what this one turns into!

Only two more foals to go! The last two are crosses between HVK Man About Town and Stonecroft Couture who is a full sibling to Stonecroft Byzantine. We are very excited to meet these two crosses but even more excited for some much deserved SLEEP!!!

This Foaling Was A Breeze!

Our fourth arrival of the 2010 season was born March 13th at 5:30am. This spunky filly is our second Astronomicallee foal born to the SSLLC name and she is out of our lovely mare Futurity's Touch Of Harley. SSLLC Exhale, known to us as Breeze, was born on a very stormy, windy night with 40 mph wind gusts! Mama decided she didn't need any help on this one, delivering the baby before we could even get to the barn.

This filly is another chestnut with tons of white on her face and legs and is quite the sweetheart. Breeze will march right up to the front of the stall to see what's going on. With her markings and bold attitude this one is sure to get noticed in the show ring!

We have officially crossed the halfway point for the year with just three foals left! Up next CCR's Outrajus Corajus x Futurity's Touch Of Harley ... this one should be pretty cool!

The Masquerade Twins Have Arrived!

Our very first Stonecroft Masquerade foals have hit the ground and have taken over our hearts! The two fillies, both out of our mare Futurity's Touch Of Harley, are actually twins that were carried by two different mares via embryo transfer.

The first filly, SSLLC Absolute, arrived February 23rd in the early morning hours. Abby has a bold white face, a beautiful femininity about her, and loads of attitude! She likes to show off and will be lots of fun to snap photos of this summer.

The second filly, SSLLC Top Shelf, arrived one week later on March 2nd at 6:45am. I guess mama wanted to make sure we were around in case she needed us! This filly, Annie, has very similar markings to her twin, with a beautiful dish to her face as well as a great shape to her neck. Annie is a bit more independent than her sister, already feeling as though she doesn't need to be with mom as she explores the world!

We are very pleased with the results of this cross and will be repeating it again for a 2011 foal. Stay tuned to the website for pictures of these lovely fillies coming soon!

SSLLC Welcomes "Stretch"!

Schengrund Stables welcomed the first foal of the season into the world last night at 8pm! Appropriately nicknamed "Stretch", this handsome colt (HVK Man About Town x Futurity's Touch Of Harley) is nothing but legs! We are thrilled with this colt and love the strong resemblance to his sire!

Next up, twins due February 21st! Don't worry, they are being carried in two different mares! Stay tuned for more to come...

CHILLY Winter Road Trips!

The past two weeks have been very busy, filled with road trip to visit several of the SSLLC horses in training around the country.

The first stop was to drop off a new "rookie" three year old to Crystal Farms in Marshall, Michigan. While there Amanda was able to see the talent of Mary Carlton showcased in several of the super-cool youngsters Mary is bringing along. She has some really impressive stock in her barn for this coming show season! As always, she does a fabulous job as with SSLLC Bourne Supremacy, the gorgeous now five year old she rode to win the highly competitive UPHA Hunter Pleasure Classic at the 2009 Jubilee Regional. Hopefully the "rookie's" future is just as bright!

During the following week, Amanda made the trek eight hours north to the lovely, (but VERY COLD) state of Vermont to visit Luman Wadhams Stable. There, Amanda witnessed another display of horsemanship at it's finest. Luman never fails to impress and his barn is FULL of many talented three year olds! The SSLLC group looked simply AMAZING! Get ready World, here comes Schengrund Stables!

While in Vermont, Amanda also stopped by Fairview Stables to watch Jaisen and Meghan vonBallmoos work some horses. They have lots of youngsters in the barn as well as one of Amanda's favorite horses, Roberto Cavalli (who Schengrund Stables will be breeding to this year). Roberto looked incredible under saddle and is the definition of Morgan type! With quite an impressive bunch, Fairview Stables will be a serious contender in this year's showring!

Thank you to all of these trainers for doing an awesome job with our youngsters and for allowing Amanda to ride some of the wonderful horses in your barns! See you all next month!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Schengrund Stables is looking forward to a brilliant, tri-colored filled 2010! We are expecting seven foals again this year with some new, very exciting crosses in store. Visit our 2010 Foals page to view the foals that will be arriving this year!

Stay tuned to your favorite Morgan horse website for all the latest! Happy 2010!

A Successful (and Chilly!) Grand National!

Well another Grand National comes to a close, the coldest one perhaps in the history of the show! Temperatures barely cracked 50 degrees in the morning hours. Very chilly when you're headed 20 hours Southwest ... I thought it was supposed to be warm! Apparently mother nature didn't get the same memo I did ...

Chilly weather didn't dampen the competition however! What a wonderful show it was with some of the best competition and class sizes in memory!

SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy had a nice show ending up in 3rd place out of a very deep sixteen in the 4 year old Hunter Pleasure World Championship, even receiving a RWC vote from one judge! Inquiries are invited on this wonderful prospect. Thanks so much to the Crystal Farms team for their hospitality and wonderful job turning out the SSLLC horses. You are all the best!

SSLLC would also like to congratulate Ryan Swope and SSLLC On Demand whom he purchased this summer. The two have only been paired a few short months and Ryan and "Lucas" managed to walk away with the Reserve World Champion Hunter Seat on the Flat Senior Equitation title! Watch out for this talented team in the future! Congrats guys!

Congratulations to everyone for a fun filled and successful Oklahoma! See you next year!

Oklahoma Bound!

Two of Schengrund Stables finest are headed for the Grand National and World Championship Horse Show held in Oklahoma City in October.

SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy (Born to Boogie x Brio Bell Martell) is a special 4 year old currently in training with Mary Carlton that is headed to the top of the Hunter Pleasure division. "Indy" has many wins this year including taking top honors in the UPHA Hunter Pleasure Classic at the Jubilee Regional. This beautiful black/bay gelding is stretchy with a great stride and three terrific gaits. His potential is unlimited for an amateur or junior exhibitor in the future. Check him out in the 4 Year Old Hunter Pleasure division.

SSLLC Prime Time (Liberation First Star x Brio Bell Martell) is a gorgeous 3 year old Hunter Pleasure prospect that just made his performance debut at the Jubilee Regional (pictured at left). This gelding is big, beautiful, & full of type with many similarities to half sibling Graycliff Miss Liberty. "Rocky" has wonderful gaits, including a to-die-for canter, and is super easy to ride! In training with Mary Carlton, this guy is ready to make his mark in the amateur division next year! See him in the 3 Year Old Hunter Pleasure Division.

Good luck to all competitors for a safe and tri-colored Oklahoma!

Photoshoot Alert!!!

We've had another photoshoot here at SSLLC and are thrilled with the results! Amanda asked her cousin (by marriage), Jordan Krall, a just graduated photography major, to join her in snapping shots of the newest members of the SSLLC clan. Jordan had no prior horse experience, and did an amazing job, capturing some of the best pictures we've ever obtained at the farm! Thanks to Jordan and everyone at the farm for doing an amazing job getting all of the horses prepped and ready to shoot!

Check out the website for all the up-to-date pictures. Inquiries are invited on all of our prospects. While you're on the site be sure to check out our 2010 Foals section to see what is onboard for 2010! We are very excited to see what the future holds for our breeding program as some of our finest are headed to the trainers this fall for evaluation!

Our Very First Jubilee!

SSLLC made quite a debut at our first ever Jubilee Horse Show held in Springfield, Illinois! Two of our finest were onboard including the elegant 4 year old, SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy, and the talented 3 year old, SSLLC Prime Time.

SSLLC Prime Time (Liberation First Star x Brio Bell Martell), made quite an impression in the 3 Year Old Hunter Pleasure class, in his performance debut, taking second place to a nice field of three year olds. We are very excited about this handsome, young prospect! Next stop, OKC!

SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy, always exciting to watch, showed the Midwest that he is a serious contender in the 4 Year Old Hunter Pleasure division. "Indy" took second in his qualifier, and ended up with Reserve Champion honors in the Junior Horse Hunter Pleasure Championship! The most exciting class for this superstar however, was the UPHA Hunter Pleasure Classic, where Bourne' Supremacy reigned supreme taking home the top honors in this very competitive class!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to Mary Carlton, Chris Lasky, and the Crystal Farms girls for all of their expertise in making this a horse show to remember! We had a blast and hope to be apart of the Jubilee tradition for years to come!

Another 'Supreme' Showing For SSLLC!

More success in the hunter ring for the gorgeous SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy at the Michigan All Morgan Show held in Detroit, Michigan. Taking 2nd place in the Open Hunter division under the expert guidance of Mary Carlton, "Indy" was just getting warmed up. In the 4 Year Old Hunter Pleasure class, it was Amanda Krall's turn to ride and the pair finished 3rd. The duo redeemed themselves in the Junior Horse Championship, taking top honors home to Hershey, Pennsylvania! Congratulations to both horse and rider on their very first tri-color ribbon!

Schengrund Stables would also like to congratulate SSLLC Collective Soul, owned by Cara Lynne Schengrund, who made his dressage debut at All-Morgan. Showing in Sporthorse Suitability (Reserve Champion!), Intro Level Dressage, and 4 Year Old Hunter Pleasure, "Alex" had a wonderful showing under the guidance of Dani Muench-Chapman, the talented assistant trainer at Crystal Farms.

Thanks again to the Crystal Farms girls for all of their hard work and support!

Bourne' Supremacy Wins at Gold Cup!

Amanda Krall, manager of Schengrund Stables, made an exciting entry into the Morgan show world aboard the elegant SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy (Born To Boogie x Brio Bell Martell). The duo made their debut together at the Gold Cup Regional in Springfield, Ohio, taking home top honors in the 4 Year Old Hunter Pleasure class! Thanks to the Crystal Farms team for all of their help!

A wonderful start to the season for this dynamic duo! Next stop, Michigan All Morgan!

It's a Twin!

On Sunday, as Amanda was helping Crystal Farms set up at the Gold Cup Show in Ohio, the SSLLC clan added another member to its roster. This one is an actual twin sister (by way of embryo transfer) to the filly born just six days earlier and they look almost identical! We've named her SSLLC Prefect Timing (HA HA!) and she is by HVK Man About Town and out of our own Futurity's Touch Of Harley (pictured at left). This one is also a chestnut with two hind white, a white face, and miles of legs! Amanda can't wait to get home to see this one in person!

Only one left until we call it a season!

Posted June 15, 2009

An Early Arrival!

"Molly" is the latest addition to SSLLC and boy is she sweet! This beautiful little filly (HVK Man About Town x Futurity's Touch Of Harley) was born Monday night, June 8th and was up within the hour on her own and nursing like a champ! She's got two hind white and a little star, strip, and snip on her face... Absolutely Adorable!!!

Now we await the arrival of her twin sibling (being carried by another mare via embryo transfer)... will it be a colt or filly???

He's A 'Buzzer Beater'...!

During the middle of the NBA playoffs, our newest member of the SSLLC family made his grand entrance into our world! Nicknamed "Buzz" (after LaBron's "buzzer beater" in the game the night before) this stretchy colt is our very first Cartier (Cedar Creek Harlequin x Schiaparelli) foal. Out of our own SSLLC Call On Me (HVK Man About Town x Cedar Creek With Bells On), this colt is very leggy with a great shape to his neck.

We cannot wait for our next Cartier foal to arrive in July and predict we will be breeding to this fantastic sire in the future! Watch for more updates on our current MVP "Buzz"!

Posted May 25, 2009

Bourne' Supremacy Reigns Supreme!

In his show ring debut, SSLLC Bourne' Supremacy made his head-turning performance in the Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse division at the MJMHA Morgan Showtime in Lansing, Michigan. Winning his first class under the direction of Mary Carlton, he showed back in the Open Hunter Championship and took home Reserve Champion honors!

We are thrilled with the ability of this magnificent horse and proudly offer inquires on this wonderful gelding! Next stop - Gold Cup with Amanda in the saddle!

Surprise Arrival!

Kevin entered the barn for his routine 5:45am barn check this morning and discovered a present in the form of a large, chestnut filly! What a surprise! Apparently Mom decided she did not want or need any help in the delivery and she handled everything perfectly!

This filly (Serenity Masterpiece x Futurity's Touch Of Harley) is quite a looker and boy is she BIG!!! With miles and miles of legs, she should have no problem getting noticed in the ring! Marked similarly to her real mom Harley, we are thrilled with this new member of the SSLLC clan!

Now we have to wait until the end of May for the next arrival (Cartier x SSLLC Call On Me). Only four more to go this season!

Our First Astro Foal Has Arrived!

At 8:40pm on February 18th, SSLLC welcomed our second foal of the 2009 foaling season! Our very first Astronomicallee foal is a very feminine, dark bay, filly out of our own SSLLC Call On Me (HVK Man About Town x Cedar Creek With Bells On). And what a knockout she is! We are very happy to add yet another pedigree branch to the SSLLC "breeding tree" and cannot wait to see what this filly has to offer!

Jr. Champion Gelding at The N.E. Regional!

Schengrund Stables had two entries in the 69th Annual New England Regional Horse Show. This show is always a favorite not only to attend but also to test your stock's talent against some deep competition from across the country. SSLLC's two year olds rose to the occasion with wonderful performances, surviving the traditional New England wet weather!

First up was the elegant and exotic SSLLC Prime Time. This gelding, by the famous Liberation First Star and out of an HVK Bell Flaire daughter, Brio Bell Martell made heads turn as he entered the 2 and Under Gelding In Hand class. Waving his legs and flagging his tail, Prime Time took home first place out of eight entries! Prime Time then turned around to win the Jr. Champion Gelding honors!

The second of the Schengrund Stable's entries, SSLLC Primary Contender (HVK Man About Town x Futurity's Touch of Harley) made a bold showing in the 2 Yr Old Pleasure Driving class. Against nine horses, this showy gelding took home 4th place! A job well done at his only his second show!

We are thrilled with the athleticism, looks, and work ethic of these two outstanding prospects and cannot wait to see what the next page holds for them!

Posted July 31, 2008

SSLLC On Demand Wins Again!

Congratulations to Misty Pleiness of Kentwood, MI on her purchase of SSLLC On Demand and their success as a team in the show ring! Misty purchased "Lucas" in April while he was in training at Mary Carlton's Crystal Farms. Mary did a fabulous job getting the duo show ready and they are off to an amazing start together with several wins in the hunter division at both the MJMHA Morgan Showtime and the Gold Cup regional show.

We can't wait to see what the future holds for this promising team as the year goes forward and wish them the best of luck!

Posted June 23, 2008

The Last One Has Arrived!!

Last night as the Pa Morgan Horse Club meeting was adjourning, the Foal Alert pager started to ring! The last of the 2008 foal was arriving! Amanda hurried Kevin's mother, Cara (who she had carpooled with to the meeting) out the door. Luckily they were just 5 minutes from the farm!

This flashy filly (Serenity Masterpiece x AFF Evening Episode) is a full sister to the now 4 year old, MEM Shock N Awe, who made heads turn at New England as a yearling.

We are thrilled with this foal as well as the rest of our foal crop from this year. We feel as though this has been our best year of breeding results so far and cannot wait until some of these youngsters hit the show ring!

Another foaling season over, until next year! Oh, and by the way, be sure to check out our foals page for new photos that were just updated!

Another Outrajus Arrival Sneaks In!

Amanda was in the Carribean for her wedding when our surrogate mare "Hawaii" decided to foal two weeks early on May 13th. This is our second CCR'S Outrajus Corajus (pictured at left) and SSLLC's Colour My World cross, this one a bay colt as well. Everything went smoothly and again we ended up with a phenomenal foal from this amazing sire.

Nothing but legs and the sweetest disposition of any baby we've seen this one is "a honey". We think he's so cute but we can't even decide what to name him! If anyone has any names suggestions please forward them to amanda@ssllcmorgans.com.

If it would ever stop raining in PA maybe we could get some pictures of these new little ones... Check back soon for updated photos, hopefully this week! You won't want to miss them!

Only 1 more to go, don't hold your breath, she's due in July!

Posted May 21, 2008

He's Outrajus!

Another fantastic member of the SSLLC clan arrived at 12:50am on April 27th. Marked just like his sire, "Max" is our very first "CCR's Outrajus Corajus" foal. Out of our own "SSLLC Colour My World", this colt is long-legged with a georgous head and neck.

We are thrilled with the results of this cross and anxiously await the arrival of "Max's" full sibling (we're hoping for a filly this time) who is due May 28th.

Only two more to go! What an exciting year it's been!

Posted April 28, 2008

Another Healthy Arrival!

At 10:20pm on March 10th, our second HVK Bell Flaire foal arrived. Another striking filly, this one a dark bay with two white hind feet, snuck into the world before Amanda arrived at the barn ten minutes later.

"Liza" is our second cross of HVK Bell Flaire and our own SSLLC Colour My World. She is a very feminine filly with miles of legs and a gorgeous head and neck. Look for pictures of this show stopper soon! (Only 3 more foals to go...)

Our Second Masterpiece Foal Has Arrived!

At 7:30pm on February 14th, Amanda's Foal Alert pager went off. Our third foal was arriving right at the beginning of the Keith Urban & Carrie Underwood concert that was Amanda's valentines present from her fiance'. Luckily, Jen was at the farm and able to assist in the delivery of the second Serenity Masterpiece foal of the season.

"Ace" (Serenity Masterpiece x SSLLC Colour My World) is a long-legged, handsome colt who can really crank his neck and wave his legs. He has tons of attitude and knows that he's something to look at!

We are incredibly pleased with the quality of this year's foals as well as the direction our breeding program is heading! Three down, four more to go!

Posted February 14, 2008

Our Very First Bell Flaire Baby is Here!

At 12:33am on February 13th, in the middle of the worst ice storm of the year, SSLLC welcomed our very first "HVK Bell Flaire" foal into the world! The striking jet-black filly with a small white star is out of Schengrund Stable's own "SSLLC Colour My World" and we are thrilled with the results.

Shortly after delivery of this filly, a police officer arrived at the barn asking if there was an emergency - he said that we had called 911. Two weeks prior to this we had purchased a new paging system. The key code when a mare foals is 911 (we use the Foal Alert Monitoring System). It seems that there was a programming error with the pagers and when the mare foaled the system actually dialed 911 and they sent an officer to the farm! We felt terrible considering the weather conditions but once he saw the baby the officer had to laugh (thankfully!). Needless to say the problem was corrected immediately.

We are so excited about the potential of this year's foals, we can't wait to meet the rest of the group! Check the website this week for pictures of our new foals!

In the early morning hours of June 8th, the last foal of SSLLC's 2007 season arrived. SSLLC Bold Moves (HVK Man About Town x AFF Beulah) is a full sibling to our 2004 gelding SSLLC On Demand. This long-legged colt is very upheaded and can really wave his legs. "Dylan" is sure to be a star and we can't wait to see how he matures in the coming months!

Welcome 'Bella'!

At 1:11am on May 16th, SSLLC welcomed our fourth foal of the 2007 foaling season. SSLLC Belladonna (meaning beautiful lady), "Bella" (HVK Man About Town x Kim's Bellegante)is everything we hope to acheive when selecting bloodlines. She is the definition of beauty and the very meaning of the phrase "to die for".

Everyone at Schengrund Stables is excited to see what this filly has to offer and proud to call "Bella" our own.

A Busy Weekend!

This past weekend, Schengrund Stables welcomed the first three foals into the 2007 class. First to arrive on Friday evening at 8:51pm was an adorable filly named "Mya" (HVK Man About Town x Town Gossip). This was the first foal Town Gossip actually carried and the birth was by the book. Within the hour "Mya" was up on her own and readily nursing!

Around 4am Saturday morning the next foal arrived. This time it was a stellar colt "Toby" (HVK Man About Town x Kim's Bellegante) who was so large, he almost didn't come out! After the initial delivery this foal too was quickly up and nursing on his own.

The third arrival of the weekend came in the early morning hours on Monday the 12th. This long-legged, elegant filly "Eve" (HVK Man About Town x AFF Evening Episode) is absolutely stunning!

What a very exciting and promising beginning to this year's foaling season. Three down, two to go!

Another Great Oklahoma!

Schengrund Stables turned in another great Oklahoma with successful performances from both of our entries. In the yearling fillies class, SSLLC Set Me in Motion (HVK Man About Town x UVM Farrah) had a fantastic performance in one of the most competitive in hand mare classes to be seen. "Farrah" then went on to better her placing in her futurity in hand class, placing first on one judge's card! Watch for many more exciting things to come from this beautiful filly!

Schengrund Stable's second entry, Futurity's Touch Of Harley, had a grand showing, pinning second in her English Pleasure Mares class. We would like to congratulate Rick and Lisa Howa of Salt Lake City, Utah on their purchase of this exceptional mare. We look forward to watching "Harley" show under the Howa name next season and wish them all the best of luck!

Thank you also to Luman Wadhams and his staff for all of their time, energy, and talent. We look forward to another winning season next year at Lu U!

Another Great New England

Two of Schengrund Stables stars had an impressive appearance under the direction of Luman Wadhams at the 67th Annual New England Regional Morgan Horse Show.

In the competitive English Pleasure Mares class, Schengrund Stable's Futurity's Touch Of Harley put on a performance that stole the show! Watch for this elegant mare to put on another great performance in Oklahoma City!

Also at New England, SSLLC Set Me In Motion made her entrance into the show world in the Yearling Fillies In Hand class. "Farrah" put in a fine showing taking reserve champion honors. This dynamic filly then went on to win Reserve Champion Junior Mare. What a great showing! This SSLLC star is Oklahoma bound as well!

See you in October!

We are very excited with this 2 year old's potential and cannot wait to see what the future hold for this fine, young colt.

Announcing 'Tommy'

Having just arrived home on Friday, June 9th after a busy week at the barn, Amanda's pager started to beep. The last of the 2006 foals was arriving! Kevin arrived to the barn within minutes to assist in the delivery.

"Tommy" (HVK Man About Town x Futuritys Touch Of Harley) is a handsome bay colt with tons of personality. His outstanding looks combined with his bold attitude leave no doubt that this colt has an exciting future ahead of him!

Presenting 'Apollo'

At 1:51am on June 7th, our third foal of the 2006 class was born. "Apollo" (HVK Man About Town x Futuritys Touch Of Harley) is a knockout! This awesome chestnut colt has lots of flash, a firery personality, and tons of ability. Look for great things from this colt- he is sure to be a show stopper!

Yo Adrianne!

Schengrund Stables welcomed our second arrival of the 2006 foaling season on May 2nd. At 6:45 pm, Amanda was working on the SSLLC website when the Foal Alert system was triggered. "Martell" (HVK Bell Flaire X Brio Classic Kenzie) was delivering her first foal (she has others on the ground through embryo transfer). Amanda assisted Martell, who did wonderfully. The rest of the SSLLC gang even arrived before the hind legs were completely delivered!

Since our newborn was indeed a filly, we decided to name her "Adrianne", since for the second time this year, foaling had interrupted Kevin's beloved boxing. We already had a "Rocky" — what could be more appropriate than an "Adrianne" to go with him?

"Adrianne" (HVK Man About Town X Brio Bell Martell), has a beautiful dished head and long, strong legs. As of now she is a silver color with grey eyes. With her fiery attitude and bold looks, "Adrianne" is going to be untouchable to her competition!

It's a Colt!

On March 23 at 8:22pm we welcomed our first new arrival of the 2006 foaling season. "Rocky" (Liberation First Star x Brio Bell Martell) recieved his name because he interrupted Kevin's favorite pastime — boxing. His entrance into the world also caught Amanda in the middle of dinner, but it was decided that the name "Rocky" was more appropriate than "Quesadilla"!

Built like his sire, this gorgeous bay colt has great length of leg and neck. Rocky’s big step and vibrant attitude is sure to make him a knockout in the showring!
