I am trying to get in touch with Julie Freeland who lived at 11170 Webb
Summit Rd, Bremen, OH in 1993.
This is the story:
Al Marah Count Fast+/, then 25 years old, spent the summer of 1993 at my
farm. I like the *Count Dorsaz/*Kabara blood. His fertility was fading, and
he only sired one filly that summer (out of our pure English *Silver Vanity
daughter).
Julie Freeland called me and was interested in Count Fast offspring for
endurance. Seriously interested. (CBS Redman's dam was sired by Count Fast).
Count Fast's owner didn't want to sell his 2 daughters she owns. My Count
Fast daughter is pure English-GSB eligible and is the cornerstone of the
preservationist part of our breeding program, so I won't sell her (besides
she's perfect in every way). No one knew of any Count Fast offspring then
available.
Count Fast's owner now has a yearling filly for sale out of her pure English
Count Fast daughter sired by a Sheikh Obeyd stallion. She is also interested
in selling a Count Fast daughter, Sweepstakes nominated, 5 years old I
believe. Both are big. The 5 year old is chestnut, the filly is dark bay.
Both are very energetic (and very beautiful).
If anyone knows Julie Freeland and knows if she is still looking for a
horse, can you please put her in touch with me?
I'm looking forward to the saddle information! I have two all purpose
saddles, one an Ulster, the other an Argentinian and I somehow feel neither
would be appropriate for long hours in the saddle. Since I'm just starting
this, I'm wondering what would be a good saddle to buy for my tubby little
13.3 mare and my tubby not-so-little butt as a "competitive trail/endurance
starter saddle"? Something that won't empty my bank account, but would be
sturdy and comfortable for the two of us, and that might still work when we
shape up and tone the tubby parts?
Thanks,
