Home Again Farm News — 2007
February
We had the opportunity to buy one of our former broodmares back from her owner. Frolichkeit rejoins the mare herd this year. She will be bred to Rascalino for a 2008 foal. Frolic is a beautiful redhead with superb bloodlines and we are tickled to have her home.
A fellow breeder offered us her lovely Donnerhall mare when she decided to retire from breeding. Dessin RA (Donnerhall/ Graphit) will arrive in Florida early in February. Dessi is a lovely bay mare who has had two beautiful foals and has also had extensive dressage training. She will be bred to Blue Hors Romanov this spring for a 2008 foal.
Dessin RA is shown with her 2006 colt by Samarant. We thank Sonia Hoglund for the opportunity to have Dessi in our mare herd and can hardly wait to see what she produces for us.

Wolkenstanza has gone to our trainer's to be started under saddle. She is quite mature for a three year old and we can hardly wait to see her under saddle. Below she is pictured right before she left for the trainer's, playing with her yearling buddies.
April
Wolkenstanza has been started under saddle by our superb young horse trainer Maya Sniadecky. After just six weeks with Maya, Stanza is being ridden off the longe at walk, trot and saddle and showing the willingness, gaits and rideability that we would expect from a daughter of Rohanna. Stanza has also been bred to Fidertanz for a 2008 foal. Upcoming plans for her include her mare inspection in August and then time off to have her baby. I hope to put her back in serious work when she that foal has been weaned. This little girl deserves to do some showing! See her below and lots more on her own page.
May
Wintermaske has presented us with a wonderful black colt by Stedinger. Born May 3rd, Scorpio is leggy and very modern, with a beautiful head, correct conformation, superb gaits. He also is endowed with Wintermaske's abundant chrome. He is for sale, with special terms to a show home with an experienced young horse trainer. See him below and on his own page for lots more pictures.
Rubizza gave us a very long awaited foal May 22nd. This was her first baby since 2003 and another filly! We could not be happier with this long legged and sweet filly by Fabuleux. Her name will be Fantastica and she will most probably be a keeper. See her at a day old below.
Wolkenstanza mildly sprained a tendon while insisting on rolling into the fence at my trainer's farm. According to her the large paddock had only one good rolling spot — right next to the board fence and even hot wire could not deter the silly girl. She is in stall rest and we hope to manage to present her for inspection in August. Thanks to her great brain, she is taking all in stride and is handling the stall rest amazingly well. We expect a full recovery and are taking no chances with this beauty!
June
The breeding year is well under way for us. Rohanna is in foal to Hotline for an late February 2008 foal. EM Diva is in foal to Royal Prince for a mid March 2008 foal. Wolkenstanza has been confirmed in foal for a mid March foal by Fidertanz.
EM Wintermaske is taking the year off from being a mama. Dessin RA has also not become pregnant, despite monumental efforts. She has gone to live with my best friend Lani Kirk, where she will be her riding horse and be loved and spoiled and fussed over.
