Alpha Farm ~ 2009 News & Accomplishments

Alpha Farm

2009 was a good year for horses owned or bred by Alpha Farm:
2 Hall of Fame titles, including 1 Superior Dam
28 Congress Titles, including 13 Championships or Reserve Championships
16 All Star Titles, including 4 Championships or Reserve Championships
135 Area & Local Championships
43 Area & Local Reserve Championships

We had only two foals in 2009, but both were beautiful fillies that we were proud to put our farm name on. We are retaining one for our own breeding program. The other was sold to a show home in the midwest. We look forward to watching her in 2010.

And finally, we purchased a new ASPC/AMHR herd sire. He is a son of Graham's Little King Lee out of a National Champion driving mare and is half brother to our herd sire, Buckeye WCF Classical Magic. We are looking forward to introducing Buckeye WCF Classical Dynamo to the show ring in 2010.

Thank You's

Thank you to Renee Bush of Claybury Training Stable.
Renee trained and showed our first driving pony, Alpha Farms Isnt She Magical ("Abby") and handled both Abby and our gelding to their open and futurity Congress wins. Renee is not only an accomplished trainer and exhibitor, but truly knows the meaning of "customer service". I am honored to call her a friend, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer.

Thank you to John Eberth of Arion Management
John put the finishing touches on our mare, Alpha Farms Arenosa Starlet and led her to Congress wins against some tough competition that most people thought she was too small to accomplish in the pony world. Thank you!

Thank you to Leah Johnson of LM Equine Services
Leah handled several of our young horses at both 2008 and 2009 Congress.
I love the way horses respond to her.

Thank you to Getitia & Les Matheny of Buckeye Walnut Creek Farm
For selling us another "Lee" son, Buckeye WCF Classical Dynamo

Congratulations

Congratulations to the following owners on their 2009 wins with Alpha Farm bred horses:
