TWIN WILLOWS FARM - News & Updates

May 2013

May has brought some great news for Twin Willows Farm

First of all, my vet did the 30 day check on Roanne and Keepsake and both are still in foal, to Furst Nymphenburg and Sir Gregory respectively!

Also, three of my Twin Willows Farm horses had great success competing in their first shows of the season, all in the same weekend (May 18-19). Angela Dion and Alibi TWF (pictured below) received two first place finishes at Training Level and ended up with the High Score Award at the DVCTA Dressage Show in PA. Amy Chipman and Sadira TWF received a 78.8 in their 4 year old Young Horse Class. They also scored a 77% at First Level for a total of 3 firsts and 1 second place, ending up with the Reserve High Score at the Potomac Valley Dressage Show. Radka Heineman and San Jaco TWF won the Oldenburg GOV Breed Class with a score of 80% and ended up as Grand Champion of the Rosinburg Spring Dressage Show in Lexington, VA. (see OHBS article) Congratulations to you all!

Congratulations to Radka Heineman on the continued success of her 2010 OHBS gelding San Jaco TWF by Jazz out of Sofie by Stedinger/ Rosier. He recently attended his first show of the season, Lexington Spring Dressage in Virginia, and captured a nice score of 76.20% in the Colt/Gelding 3 year old class. He improved from there, moving up through the classes to capture the Grand Championship of the show. He also secured first place in the German Oldenburg class out of six horses with a wonderful score of 80.00%. San Jaco TWF was bred by Laureen Megan of Twin Willows Farm in Virginia and his owner Radka states that “I could not be happier with our results as I was handling him.” San Jaco TWF is now qualified for the East Coast Colt/Gelding Championships at Dressage at Devon.

March 2013

Twin Willows Farm Has Two New Foals! I am so happy with how these two breedings turned out. Both fillies are all I hoped for. They are for sale at $12,500 each, which includes board until weaning and inspection. Call or email.

Lincara TWF, a bay filly by Lantinus (Landadel/Argentinus) out of Roanne TWF (Rosenthal/Stedinger), was born on March 16th.
Linnie has a beautiful head and lots of chrome (four white socks with a star and snip). She'll be registered with the Oldenburg GOV.

Two days later, Rakel TWF was born, a bay filly by Rubignon (Rubenstein/Donnerhall) out of Keepsake (Fidertanz/Schampus). Rakel (rah-kell) is a lovely, long-legged filly with lots of bone. I plan to present her dam Keepsake to the American Hanoverian Society. Rakel can be registered with either the AHS or GOV.

Sofie Heads to the Sunshine State

Congratulations to Lynn on the purchase of our wonderful Oldenburg mare Sofie. She has a wonderful new home with Lynn in Florida and will be continuing her training as a hunter. Good luck, Sofie and Lynn!

2013 Rubignon and Landtinus Foals Due Soon!

Keepsake (left in photo) and Roanne TWF are waiting to have their first foals, anytime within the next two weeks. (They're also waiting for winter to end; note snow flurries in photo.) Roanne (Rosenthal/Stedinger) is carrying a foal by Landtinus (Landadel/Argentinus) and Keeper's (Fidertanz/Schampus) foal is by Rubignon (Rubenstein I/Donnerhall). Both foals will be available for sale, so stay tuned.

Congratulations to Amy Chipman and her 2009 OHBS-GOV mare
Sadira TWF who had a fantastic 2012 season, sweeping the High Score Championship titles at four out of five shows entered! They recently capped off the season by winning the Training Level VADA/Nova Schooling Show Championship at Morven Park, VA on November 11 with an impressive High Score of 75.20%. Sadira TWF is sired by Starlight out of Revlon by Routinier/Tarim and was bred by Laureen Megan of Twin Willows Farm. Looking ahead to 2013, Amy and Sadira TWF have their sights set upon the FEI Young Horse 4 Year Old Classes.

Another Twin Willows Farm horse shone in 2012. The 2009 OHBS-GOV gelding Alibi TWF enjoyed success at both Hunter Jumper and Dressage shows, finishing the season at Dressage at Devon, where he and owner Angela Dion received a Sixth Place in the Three Year Old Colts/Geldings class and a third place finish in the Materiale under saddle class. Alibi TWF is sired by Apiro out of Pavones by Bon Point xx/Roi Danzing xx and was bred by Laureen Megan of Twin Willows Farm. Alibi TWF was awarded Premium status and the title Foal of Distinction at his OHBS-GOV foal inspection in 2009.

Finally, Radka Heineman’s lovely 2010 OHBS-GOV gelding San Jaco TWF by Jazz out of Sofie by Stedinger/Rosier, who had a wonderful first show season. In May he attended the Lexington Spring Dressage show in Virginia. He was the Reserve Grand Champion and won the GOV IBC class and in August he won his 2 year old colt/gelding class and was the Reserve Colt/Gelding Champion at Labor of Love breed show in Raleigh, NC. He twice earned his qualification for Dressage at Devon's GAIG/USDF Colt/Gelding Championship class and on September 25, 2012 he secured a sixth place finish in the very competitive Final Class. He was handled by his owner Radka Heineman. San Jaco TWF was bred by Laureen Megan of Twin Willows Farm and he was awarded Premium Status at his foal inspection by the OHBS-GOV inspectors.
