Congratulations!

I would like to congratulate everyone on their new foals this year. It sounds like our region did VERY well in picking some great stallions to breed to last year. With Region 17 being here next year we should have a lot of great competition going into 2009. Go BC Go!

WA Cherish The Dream
THEE DESPERADO X THE DREAMSPINNER
2005 Bay Mare

Cherish, is our little miracle girl. She is the last foal born to one of the greatest mares to grace North America. Of course  that is our opinion, here at Westwynd Arabians. The Dreamspinner, who is an Aristocrat mare and Dam to such greats like Magic Dream, Satine, and EF Kingston gave the Arabian World one last gift. Cherish The Dream - Small and Dismature and barely bigger than our golden retriever. There she was.......small and as delicate as a porcelain doll.  That's what she reminded all of us of. Perfect in every way except that she was the tiniest foal I had ever seen. After a couple of weeks of her trying to die on us, she finally gave in and decided that life was much more rewarding. She thrived on her mother's rich milk and the love of so many people like Jo-Anne Campone, Brenda Deidiger, Dr. John and of course us.  Life was good.  We were thankful  Cherish mad it and thank you that Jo-Anne had let us lease The Dreamspinner for that one last foal.  Things were good until one night when Jo-Anne was  bringing the horses in she realized that Cherish was only using 3 legs. We  found out soon enough, she had broken her small delicate back leg.  At first I thought we would have to put her down, but God was good to us that day and  Cherish had the much needed surgery to repair her leg.  We can finally look back and Cherish is about to make her debut at Vegas next year.  She is whole again. She still looks like a porcelain doll but tougher now. We love Cherish with all of our heart and one day she too will walk in her mother's footsteps and become a Mother too.

Thank you to everyone for helping this precious gift of life to live. I know in my heart that she will NEVER be a disappointment to anyone. Even if she were to be a pet in my back yard....but she will be more.......she coming out........she's coming soon....watch for the little filly that could.

Update:

Although this was to be WA Cherish The Dream's big year to show we have decided to breed her in stead. She has been bred to "Bugatti" A Versache son that we fell in love with when we first saw him as a yearling in Scottsdale.

Symphony Of Dreams
MAGIC DREAM X KHALIOPE
1999 Bay Mare

1999 mare bred by leading Canadian breeder Jo-Anne Campone. Thank you Jo-Anne for allowing us to purchase this exquisite mare to add to our breeding program. Symphony is dam to Dream Sensation, owned by Destiny Farms. She is also Dam to WA Raekwon, which is being retained by Westwynd Arabians and will stand at stud for a limited number of mares in 2008. Symphony is in foal this year to the beautiful stallion "Jakarta".  Stay tuned for this Ali Jamaal double up. Arrival time is in the middle of June 2008.

Update:

We are still waiting for Symphony to foal, but she only has a couple of more weeks to go before we have our long awaited A-Jakarta foal.

Kiss A Dream
PRINCE OF DREAMS X MISS FIRE CAT
1999 Chestnut Mare

Kiss is a 1999 beautiful chestnut mare with both a flaxen mane and tail. True to her Grandparents GH Venture and JA Magnificat, she has that lovely floating action that we all love to see in our horses.  She has a long  snakey neck that she has passed on to her two kids, a filly who is by  EF Kingston and a colt  by Gazal Al Shaqab. Kiss has been left open so that she can be bred to our own Champion colt WA Raekwon (barn name Seth) for 2009.

Update:

Kiss A Dream will be bred to our own WA Raekwon. We anticipate this will be an exciting breeding for our farm and we are looking forward to all of our foals in 2009.

Katya V
TRADITIO X KASACJA by *BANDOS
1983 Bay Mare

On lease from ES Arabians. Thank you to Nikki Muller. Katya is an oldie but goodie. We feel privileged to have Katya in our herd. We are now talking with Nikki to arrange for this grand old girl to make her permanent home here with us at Westwynd Arabians. It just wouldn't be the same here without her. It is such a pleasure to watch her move with such gracefulness and high stepping action even at her age. She is dam to Desperado Kid V and Keystone Bey V among other great moving horses. She has a 3 month old 50/50 pinto filly at her side by A Space Odyssey. Watching them both move together as one, is an experience that only true horse lovers can enjoy. Katya can bring a tear to your eye by just watching her. We have a dream with her to be able to breed her one last time at the very beginning of the year. We are anticipating and wishing on that great horse star in the sky that we will be able to put one last foal on this earth out of our beloved Katya and our boy that we are so proud of, WA Raekwon. We will keep you posted.
