Hi Folks! What a hectic summer here at ValMor Arabians! We have been busy training, conditioning (ourselves as well as the horses), planning and packing for the biggest trip ever for our little farm:
Sport horse Nationals 2006
What an undertaking! Nevertheless, Valerie and I (and Khopi) wanted to make this trip for several reasons:
Lots of you are on the West Coast and we'd love to get to meet you, see your horses, and maybe even some other Khopi babies. We also knew you'd all jump at a chance to see the big man in person. So...any of you who are planning to be there or can get there without too much trouble, come see us.
Everyone else out there also needs a chance to see the "Best in the East" and see his marvelous gaits and imposing presence. Competitors and soon-to-be new fans are going to love him as we all do. Just remember...y'all were the first!
Kharbon Khopi+++// is also just 29 points now from Legion of Masters, which we hope to achieve at this show. If he and we can do this, he will be only the 24th Purebred to have done so, and only the second, I believe, of his Grand-daddy's get and grand-get to do so. From Father to Son, generation after generation, superior bloodlines yield superior results.
This is also the first National level debut for several of Khopi's get, including VMA Arwen Evenstar, a 4-yr mare, just 7 months in Dressage training and already the recipient of 2 Reserves and 3 Top Fives at Region 12 this past May. For those of you who know Dressage, this lovely mare recived a "TEN" (!) for her Free Walk at Training Level. What an incredible ambassador of her father's prepotency as a sire.
Two of Khopi's other get, VMA Shamshida (2-yr filly) and VMA Aragorns Anduril (2-yr colt) are for sale and available for purchase at the show, where they will also be showing in the Jackpot classes on Sunday.
So come on down and root for us and get ready to be astounded, awed, and amazed. We have classes virtually every day of the show and would love you to come on by the ValMor stalls and visit (but be careful, I might put you to work).
We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as we can....
Idaho...HERE WE COME! Mike and Valerie Dietch, and Kharbon Khopi+++//
