This is a post that I really don't want to make and have been putting
off for some time. I have a 10 old Bezatal daughter that gave me my
fourth Karahty foal last week. This gives my wife and I the horses that
we plan on riding for the nexty 15 years, and as I am at the carrying
capacity of my place, I must offer her to someone else.

Raiseing a foal might not be a very practical thing to do, but it is one
of the most rewarding aspects of horsemanship. Having a horse imprinted
on you at its birth creates a very special relationship that lasts its
entire life. Getting down on your hands and knees and having a foal
play with you as if your were another horse is more fun than anyone
should be allowed to have. Bringing him along to the point where you
are rideing him is the ultimate experience in horsemanship.

Roxanne finished her first 100 as a five yer old and qualified for the
national chanpionship rides. Her first ride as a six year old was the
American River 70, where she placed fourth and was runner up for BC.
Then an accident with a trailer ended her endurance riding. I was
devistated as I considered her the best endurance horse I had ever had.
I decided to breed her to Karahty and raise her replacement.

In the last five years she has had two sons and two daughters, two are
chestnuts and two are greys. The four old is 15-2 and the three old is
15-l. They are exceptional in beauty, conformation, disposition, and
their love of people. They are the product of two of endurance ridings
best blood lines and it shows.

I am asking $2,500 for Roxanne and she will be in foal to Karahty. The
hassel of taking care of the breeding will be done for you. All you
will have to do is waite until next May for your own foal. If you are
interested, I have pictures. You can contact me:
