Good luck to Ryan Wood with Don William & Avebury WF!

We here at Watermark Farm are quite excited as we say 'Bon Voyage' to Avebury, Don William and Ryan! They have begun the trek to Aiken, SC and we wish them the best of luck and safe travels during the upcoming competition season!

If you happen to be at the Sporting Days Farm Horse Trials at the beginning of February - keep an eye out for the big grey stallion in his first outing of the season.

And I promise to get new photos of Liam in the near future...just have to have my ankle heal enough to justify a trip to Aiken with the camera! :)

Additional good travel thoughts and well wishes go out to all of those people who are making the trip south this winter. Best wishes for uneventful treks and success in the competition ring!

Wyncote WF is under contract!

Heartfelt thanks go out to Roddy Strang of Sport Horse Training, Inc in Kirkwood, PA for giving our Wyncote WF (aka Cody) such an awesome start to his riding career! Cody is now under contract to be sold into a situation where he is blessed with the best of everything in his future! Additional gratitude goes out to the staff at Phillip and Evie Dutton's True Prospect Farm and especially to Ryan Wood for doing such a lovely job showing Cody undersaddle!

More details will follow early in the week about his wonderful new situation with his fantastic new owners who are the best sort of 'good people'! We are overjoyed with how this situation has come about and couldn't be more excited about his future riding career. :)

It might be time...

It might be time to act if you have had your eye on any of our riding horses. We are currently experiencing a very high amount of phone calls, appointments to show horses and are shipping horses out to new homes every week! While this is a wonderful situation to be in, we are always hoping to find the right horse for the 'right' person, so please give us a call if you are in the hunt for a new mount!

As a result of these things, there are some changes to the Sales page for the farm website - http://watermark-farm.net/sales.html and a new set of horses available for either on site or off the farm lease situations.




So if you are in the market for a new riding horse - give us a call to arrange to try the horse that has peaked your interest...otherwise your dream horse could disappear!

Wyncote WF has started a new career path!

Our stunning 2007 Waldaire gelding Wyncote WF (x Southern Leigh WF) is well on the way to on a new career! He is currently over at True Prospect Farm in the skilled hands of Ryan Wood (www.woodstockeventing.com) getting a "jump" on his over fences training. Ryan has had nothing but the highest praise for the fine work our young horse trainer, Roddy Strang of Sport Horse Training, Inc. has done with this talented horse, so we are really looking forward to see what the future holds for Cody!

Here are a few snapshots of Cody & Ryan and then there is a full length video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sosUf66pJH8

And for reference purposes, we arrived at TPF, unloaded Cody, walked him to the main barn, he got a stall for 2 minutes, tacked up and went straight into the area. No lunging, no drama...just the way all the Waldaire's are! This guy is certainly a chip off the old block! :)

Perhaps someday soon we'll see him doing this -


If you would like to schedule an appointment to see Cody before he leaves for Aiken, please contact Anne@watermark-farm.net to set something up.

And the New Year has some excitement already!

Our eventing stallion Avebury WF has already begun his adventures for 2011! "Dillon" has joined up with his buddy Ryan Wood (www.woodstockeventing.com) to get a jump on the 2011 competition season. For the next few months he will be available via good quality SBS frozen semen as he'll be down south in Aiken competing. We will be certain to keep everyone in the loop as to his competition schedule. We are planning to have him return to the area in April so as to be available via fresh cooled. That plan is subject to change however as he may be doing more of a * & ** competition schedule and it would be unfair to Ryan to yank him away for collection duties without a predictable schedule. Regardless, we will be keeping everyone informed as to where & when he is out and about so check back soon for more information! Competitions start at the beginning of February, so watch for the grey horse who loves his job!


On the young horse front - Wyncote WF (Waldaire x Southern Leigh WF) has returned home from Sport Horse Training, Inc. "Cody" was ready to join our riding list a few weeks ago, but with Anne & Ellie out of the riding loop, it seemed prudent to leave him with Roddy a while longer. He is now a super ride in the open with a relaxed and balanced gallop, super flat work (leg yields, turn on the forehand & haunches, beautiful rein back) with natural clean flying changes and one of the nicest walks we've ever seen on a youngster. Roddy also said he was a blast over fences, so with all those positive qualities in mind, Cody will be going over to True Prospect Farm for Ryan to evaluate and advance his over fences skills. Photos and video to follow as soon as we get the equipment organized, so that everyone can see what we're so excited about with another crop of super fancy Waldaire's coming along undersaddle.

On the family news - Anne's surgery went well and she will begin PT in a few weeks. Ellie's ankle is progressing (slower than she would like but riding is looking more likely in a few weeks, rather than months from now) and Bill is helping to keep the farm ticking along while they are laid up. In the meantime, if you would like to schedule an appointment to see any of the horses that are for sale, please contact Anne@watermark-farm.net . There are updates on the Sales Page of the website - www.watermark-farm.net/sales.html

Thank you all for the cards, well wishes and moral support! Hopefully we'll be out and about competing in a few months and the frustration of the human version of 'stall rest' will be behind us.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!

An Extra Helping of Gratitude!

An extra hearty serving of "Thank You"s go out to everyone who has helped pitch in in the past few weeks while we are a bit short handed!!! The meals, the help in the barn...all of these little gifts make us appreciate our friends and family just a little bit more!

There will be several large updates that go 'public' this week on the website (www.watermark-farm.net) for the farm and our family. Please bear in mind we are coping with 2 major injuries to our staff, so serious inquires are appreciated as our time is limited.

Thank you very much to all of our helpers!
