Spring Training 2011 is on hold. With the wet weather we have had and continue to have, our lesson plan is having it's very own spring vacation. At this time, we have three three year old's started under saddle. Altogether, we have four horses driving (three riding and driving), seventeen others in various stages of training, including Driver's Ed, or retirement. Taking our time with each individual is the only way we could possibly work with all 21 over a specified period of time. So much for the training up date, tomorrow we will take delivery on two 'babies in a box'...a shipment of semen from Parnell's Gypsy Horses ( Charlie and Jan Cox) and their stallion Leannen, whose sire is the infamous Dunbrody. This package will go to Helena's Sarah, our little black and white mare from England. The other will go to Producer's Heiress, a Producer X White Mane Mare (Tom Price). The Sire will be the Midget Stallion and the second breeding to Midget. Lady Teagan is the result of the first breeding and what a fine filly she is! So now that we are in baby making mode, we will have to wait a bit for confirmation and in meantime, we are getting closer to foaling with Lora. Stay tuned!

Welcome!
Welcome to Chocolate Horse Farm, Home of Gypsy Vanner Horses ....and others! It is spring here in SW MO and with that comes storms fit for the movies. It is also time for spring training. Lee Oliver joins us at this time of year, shares her birthday with us, ads a lively levity to the every day, and works with our three year olds to bring them into the realm of 'starting'. As she works with each one we will post pictures or video of each one's progress. We hope you will enjoy our days here at CHF as much as we enjoy including you! Cheers!
