THE FOALS of 2013 (just one)....
 |
"Flint"
(Earl Grey++/ x Xceptshahnally
Maid) -
Here he is!
Foaled 11:45 p.m., March 24, 2013.
As you can tell from the many pictures, we are pretty taken with this colt.
He is for us, very much a family affair - his dam is three generations of
Rideaufield breeding, his sire, Earl Grey++/, by our Amurath Baikal out of NV
Masira. There is something very special about this colt - something that
we saw in his sire - exhibiting very much the same confidence, uprightness,
correctness and beauty. He is as bold as brass, yet inquisitive and
friendly. Watching his first few outings in the arena, we are amazed at
how athletic and smooth gaited he is. Enjoy our many pictures. We
invite you to come by and visit with "Flint" (his barn name - we are working on
an appropriate registered name for this very special baby). |

A colt - foaled May 9, 2011. Bay, three white
socks - baby brother (a full sibling) to Colorado RF++/, Pretty Woman+, Xceptshahnelle Woman
RF, Logan, Nevada RF. It is
incredible how consistent this cross between Leah and Xceptshahn is - this colt is
a sure bet to move Aliah Nazada up on Arabian Horse World's Aristocrat Mare list
- thanks to the winning ways of her offspring in both halter and performance. He is
without a doubt going to be a star. Not only does he have the quality and
conformation, he is bold as brass and an obvious natural athlete.

show. Sweepstakes nominated.

"Birdie" - the first purebred American Saddlebred born at
Rideaufield! And O what a cutie! A gorgeous chestnut filly, foaled May 6,
2009. Built to wear leather, "Birdie" is quite a sight! An incredible
neck, a very expressive face - add to that lots of motion and just the right
attitude... Her full brother won
the Junior 5-gaited at Eastern States Exposition and Syracuse International.
This foal's dam, My Daisy Hawkins, was purchased not only because of her quality
but also because of the similarity in her bloodlines to our very successful Half-Arab brood mare Comin Up Roses (dam of Peppermint Paddy RF+++/). My Daisy Hawkins is sired by Rifles N
Roses, full brother to Night of Roses.

THE FOALS OF 2008...
|
|
All Maid Up RF (Pomerol
x Xceptshahnally Maid) It's a girl! A
bee-ooo-tifull girl!. A few days early though - around 5 a.m. on February
26, 2008. This finely featured young lady is a full sibling to
The Bronze RF
and Maid of Honour RF. She is much like her
siblings - a big, beautiful
and bold chestnut. She appears to have inherited her
sire's incredible neck and is on the whole a very typey Arabian foal - dishy
face, tippy ears, short-coupled with a long length of hip, long legged and very
strong right from the get-go. And we won't complain about the markings -
check her out! And did we say she has an amazing appreciation for people? The dam, an Xceptshahn daughter, is out of a double Three-B-Rasheik++
daughter, and has been a wonderful producer for us whether by Pomerol or
by Amurath Baikal. Sweepstakes nominated. Her barn name is
"Juno". |
|
|
 |
Paisley RF (Pomerol
x Meddea KA) A filly!
Foaled 3:04 a.m., March 18, 2008 - Another Pomerol look-alike!
Amazing the consistency of this stallion. She's a tall, extremely
long-legged chestnut with a really pretty face marking and two small whites
behind. "Carley" is still very young, but what seems most noticeable at this point is the
lovely laid back shoulder and long, high set on neck, and obvious overall
quality. By Russian
Stallion Pomerol out of Meddea, by the Straight Russian *Ahmed. We've come to be amazed
at Pomerol's ability to produce consistent quality by different types of mares.
Meddea is beautiful, very correct with a lovely head and neck and a halter
horse's top line. Sweepstakes nominated. Inquiries invited. |
|
|
|
|
Evening in Paris RF (Pomerol x
Alia Nazada) - Three for three - we're batting a thousand - another filly! Foaled March 22, 2008,
9:42 p.m. - A huge chestnut filly with a star and two short hind socks.
Long legged, beautiful bone, this filly appears to be very short coupled with a
high set on elegant neck and extremely short backed. Having seen
many foals over the last thirty odd years, we'd say this one looks pretty
special. Her dam is an Arabian Horse World Aristocrat. Pomerol, her
sire, boasts one of the finest Russian pedigrees and is doing one heck of a
consistent job as a breeding horse! Sweepstakes nominated. |
|
|
 |
Ginger Rogers RF (Pomerol x FS Betty Grable)
- A beautiful chestnut filly - four for four -
fillies and chestnuts all! Foaled April 22, 2008,
4:31 a.m. EDT (right on time, too). This Pomerol baby out
of a Padrons Psyche daughter, really is a beauty.
A very pretty head, dishy, with a wide but lovely blaze, and,
count them, four white socks.... And, as we have come to expect, a
gorgeous, long legged, long necked fancy and fine
filly. |

 |
Front Row Center RF
(Earl Grey
x MDA Kaladdinn) "Karter" - a grey colt like his sire - foaled
10:48 p.m. EDT, May 18, 2008 - As we thought - this baby looks to be
what we should expect from this match - with Kelly's proven ability to
produce size, looks, and athleticism combined with Paddy's knack for
siring beautiful, short coupled, long legged, long necked athletic
babies.... we have a delicately sculpted long legged grey colt -
beautiful , even pretty, face - tippy little ears - shapely, high set on
neck. Sweepstakes Nominated.

Easy Rider RF (Xceptshahn
x FS Betty Grable) -
- Dark bay purebred Arabian Colt, foaled 1:22 a.m., Friday, April 13,
2007. Two weeks overdue and worth the wait... A tall, strong,
upright bay colt with a pretty star, a small snip and low whites - two
hinds and one left front. Typical of our Xceptshahn (by Bey Shah+)
babies, you can see the size and quality on
"Harley" right away -
long legs, a short body, a beautifully set on shapely neck, pretty face
and those great Xceptshahn tippy ears. With the prettiness,
correctness and quality that Betty Grable possesses, this is sure to be
another star.... The Bey Shah+ / Padrons
Psyche cross has produced some of the top show horses in North America for
many years. With national champions in both halter and performance
on both sides of the pedigree, coupled with Xceptshahn's ability to
consistently produce beautiful, talented horses, this baby will be no
exception....

shoulder. Long fine legs and short body, This cross, the A Temptation / Afire Bey V cross, is having magical results.

a.m., February 9, 2006 He's here...! Our first Pomerol baby!

gorgeous! Extremely long legged and long, shapely high set on neck, with a

delighted.... Sweepstakes nominated.

Love Letters RF (Baske Afire x Pretty Woman+) - Pretty Woman+ has given us a filly!
This, her first
foal ever and she is by Baske Afire. She arrived at 9:45 p.m., March 3,
2006. After an hour and seven minutes and several tumbling attempts - she
just popped up, stood up and stayed up. She then started doing her
sporadic scoots around the foaling stall, really wanting to MOVE. We are
very proud of mom, who, although she squealed out of discomfort at the new
arrival's first attempts to nurse, really took to this new thing in her life.
We thought Julia might have had more of a problem, but nature just seemed to
overtake.... The nickers exchanged between the two were very heartwarming,
particularly those from mother to daughter...
Typical of Arabian foals, this baby is very pretty, with cute
tippy ears, a beautiful, but narrow, star, strip and snip. We are quite
sure she is chestnut (out of two bays!) with four whites - one of the hinds a
little longer than the others. Short coupled, with long, fine legs,
straight and correct as can be. Upright neck coming beautifully out of the
shoulder with a lovely hook in just the right place. Pretty eyes - fine,
fine muzzle. Add to this what appears to be personality you could only
hope for - friendly, inquisitive and persistent.
Pretty Woman+ is an accomplished show mare. From the time she entered the show ring as a yearling, Pretty Woman+
has rarely been defeated. Probably the winningest show mare in
Canada, Pretty Woman+ was, again in 2004, named Eastern Canadian Breeders
Champion Mare for the third consecutive year! This win followed on
the heels of her being named Region 16 Champion Mare both in the Open
and Amateur Division! Pretty Woman+
has distinguished herself as a Legion of Honour award mare.
Baske Afire, the baby's sire is still a young stallion, but has
been consistently siring babies that are winning at halter all over the country.
At Scottsdale, in the regions and at Nationals. As his get mature, you
will undoubtedly see many of them under saddle. Watch for Pretty Woman's Baske
Afire baby in a show ring soon.... Sweepstakes nominated.

Xceptshahn
To The Rule (Xceptshahn x Forever Ember) -
Another star Xceptshahn baby! "Bentley" was foaled at 4:45 p.m. on March 28, 2006.
This beautiful baby has taken the best from both his sire and dam. Forever
Ember, a Cease Fire+++ daughter and Region 17 Top Five Mare is out of our
Regional Champion Mare, MDA Kaladdinn. His sire, Xceptshahn, is
consistently producing horses who are capable of winning both in hand and
under saddle. This colt will be no exception. He is tall, elegant,
with a beautiful length and shape to his neck. A very fancy mover.
Mmother is proudly owned by George and Eleanor Leslie , recently of Nova Scotia.
"Bentley" is now at home with his new mother, Lisa Morgan-Lavigne of Jasper, ON.

Zane Grey RF
(Earl Grey x Meddea K.A.) - a colt... foaled at 1:28 a.m. April 25, 2006. Meddea
took an extra two weeks to foal, but she seemed to have used the time
wisely - this little guy is BIG. Probably a bay, with
beautifully matched hind socks and a large star . Small, pretty
ears, strong and upright with very long beautifully formed legs.
Personality - very much a people horse and very persistent in
dealing with his mother. His dam, Meddea, is an absolutely super mom
who skilfully positions herself and her baby to meet his nutritional
requirements.... The most striking thing about this 'Paddy" baby is his
very, very long legs, especially so in proportion to his very short
coupled body. Sweepstakes nominated. |
 |
Vegas RF (Xceptshahn x MDA
Kaladdinn) - a colt - foaled 10:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, 2006.
We felt this baby could be one of the stars of the 2006 foal crop - and
that he is! Bay, with a star and two whites behind. Very tall,
long legged with a smooth short coupled body, this colt has a high set on
archy neck and a beautiful face with little ears. Definitely
going to be a big-time star and one to watch for! This colt would
make a wonderful addition to anyone's show string... Sweepstakes nominated. |

Ice Capades RF (Earl Grey x Coming Up Roses) A
beautiful bay, full sister to our multi Regional and Eastern Canadian Breeders
Champion, Peppermint Paddy RF. Foaled June 11, 2006. Long
neck, huge eyes and just a super super pretty filly. Coming Up Roses has
produced a US Top Ten Futurity Filly and a multi Regional Champion. This
youngster looks every bit as promising. Sweepstakes and National
Futurity nominated. |

|
Nevada RF
(Xceptshahn x Alia Nazada)
Gorgeous bay filly foaled 7:25 a.m., June 19, 2006. She is very reminiscent
of Colorado RF in looks and attitude. We must say however, that her
markings compare to her multi Regional and Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion
sister, Pretty Woman+ - two white hinds and one right front, albeit on the
opposite front. You just have to look at her to know she will be a star...
Sweepstakes and National Futurity nominated. Enquiries
invited. |
