12/12/08    We have a new member in the Klint family.  A warm welcome to Emily Stauring!  Emily has a Klint son that she will be using in her Pintabian breeding program.  It will be lots of fun to see some kolorful Klint grandkids in a few years!
 
Hey, Suzanne!
 I just wanted to write you an e-mail to introduce myself. My name is Emily Stauring and I own Nekoda Stables in NY.(http://nekodastables.com) I have just purchased a Klint Black ++  son, Klint Bey and I could not be more thrilled! He was bred by Ken Deamer, and I am so excited about where he will take us!  My boy reminds me a lot of Desperado V in a lot of the ways he acts, moves and looks! Hopefully the similarities will continue! =) We hope to be halter showing him this spring/summer and then most likely WP or Reining. He seems to have a real knack for the Western "arts" so we'll see. As soon as we bring him to the trainer she'll let us know, maybe it will be dressage!

A big welcome to the Klint family to Tina Stoernell!
 
I want to introduce myself.  My name is Tina Stoernell and I am now the proud new owner of Moon Lily Bey and her daughter Petticoat Jct. Lizzie (Klint's daughter) 2005.  We now call her "Amira" because she is a true princess and she knows it.  I originally did not intend to buy another young green horse, but when I took one look at her, I knew I had to have her.  She has an in your pocket disposition.  So we purchased both her mother and her.  I had done some initial research prior to our purchase and was quite impressed with Klint Black and even more impressed to see he is now making his name in the publications.  We hope to get her in the show ring locally this next year, and will be happy to keep you posted on our progress.  We are a small farm in Northern Virginia and are just beginning to branch out and consider a breeding program of our own, but I have been bitten by the show bug again and both myself and my children are back in the ring.  We feel blessed to own such beautiful horses and I believe that "Amira" will take us to new places and a new level.

 EXCITING NEWS!  The Arabian Horse Times Leading Juvenile Sires List has just been published and Klint is one of only 24 stallions on it!  The list is comprised of stallions 8 and under that have a total of 25 or more registered offspring.  I am especially proud of this accomplishment because Klint has had very little national promotion and has attracted the majority of his breedings through internet advertising, word of mouth and appearances at shows.  Sheila Varian always used to say, "When you're good people notice" and Klint is sure the proof!

August 2008

                                  

 
Klint had his Western Pleasure debut at the Ohio Half Arabian Horse Association Fall Show in Columbus Ohio Aug. 29-31.  He went three for three by winning the Western Pleasure Mares and Stallions Class, the Open Western Pleasure Class and the Open Western Pleasure Championship.  Although the classes were small it was a great schooling opportunity and gave him a chance to show off what he has learned this year with Joe Reser.

 

                                        

 Above  Bonnie Harrison is having fun showing her Klint son, Khassidy Bey.  Khassidy is from a Sundance Kid V daughter, making him a double Desperado V grandson.  He is still 15.2 hands as a 2 year old!

Klint's mom, WINDSONG BEY (Wind Storm V X Kharifa Bey) has been leased by Beth Conti of Loomis, California.  Happily, she is confirmed in foal to Beth's incredible Desperado V son MIRAGE V+/ (a more-than-1/2- brother to Klint since Mirage V+/ is by Desperado V out of a Khemosabi++++// bred mare). I get to foal her out and play with baby till it's weaned and heads to the West coast to grow up.  Here's a link to Mirage V's website - www.miragev.com .  He has a wonderful show record with a Reserve National Championship in Working Cow Horse and Regional Championships in Western Pleasure Jr Horse,  First Level Dressage, Training Level Dressage, Training Level Dressage ATR, Sport Horse Stallions in Hand ATH, and Reserve Champion Sport Horse Under Saddle.  Beth, her trainer/ stallion manager Cindy Morgan and I are all really excited about this cross and can't wait to see the foal.  More mare photos in family album.

East Coast Championships Show results are in and what a great show it was!  I was thrilled to watch Klint's 4 year old daughter Misty Moon Bey (out of Moon Lily Bey) as she went EAST COAST RESERVE CHAMPION HUNTER PLEASURE, JR HORSE in a very competitive class.  Rider Casey Stichter had to fill in at the last minute for trainer Sharon Eckenrode when she became ill at the show.  Casey did a beautiful job and from the big smile on his face you can see he was as proud as Misty's owner Judy Walter was.  Misty qualified for the class by placing 4th in Hunter Pleasure, Jr Horse in the Eastern Arabian Show and then going on to RESERVE CHAMPION OPEN (!) HUNTER PLEASURE - only her second show and the first time showing open!

                              

             
Klint's maternal sister Kholela Bey (GS Khochise+++//  X  Windsong Bey) also had a wonderful show placing EAST COAST TOP FIVE SHIH MARES and EAST COAST TOP FIVE SHIH MARES ATH with her owner, Megan Deveney.  Kholela also placed 2nd in the Hunter Pleasure Jr Horse Class.
 
 Klint's yearling son HS KHOZMIK ENKHANTED  (out of TR Mikimoto) placed 2nd in the Eastern Futurity Yearling Colt class - congratulations to owner/ breeder Robin Schnader.

Just when I mentioned Juliette's maternal sister by Moonstone Bey V+  LOL:

Great news from Judy Walter whose 4 year old mare Misty Moon Bey (out of Moon Lily Bey by Moonstone Bey V+) won Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse  at both of the New Jersey Arabian Adventure I & II "A" rated shows this weekend. This is Klint's first foal to be shown under saddle - what a great start for "the next generation"!  Misty is trained and shown by Sharon Eckenrode of Equistar Training Center.  Judy purchased Misty from me (yep - I'm the proud breeder!) when Misty was just 3 days old, so Judy has had the thrill of raising  and watching Misty develop.  Misty is also pictured at 1 week old with her mom Lily (grey mare) on the "Klint Kids" page. 

                                      

I've just heard from my friend, Mary Haldeman (who also works on this website) that she's offering her Desperado V daughter for sale.  I'm sure anyone visiting here loves Desperado as much as I do..  I actually owned her maternal sister (grey mare on Klint Kids page) for a time.  Mara Juliette can be see here Jules.  She's 9 years old, bay, green under saddle and foaled once with no breeding/foaling issues... very reasonably priced.

I got a wonderful email from Louisa Colson in Brooksville Florida today.  She sent along some new pictures of her 2 year old black Klint filly, Desperada Black:
 
 "Desperada is doing fantastic and is a look a like for Klint and Desperado , all I hoped for. She is the most laid back, affectionate and smart Arabian I've ever owned. She is truly a joy and I love her. "
 
Louisa has this filly's mom, Mystic Coycorbana (Mystic Warrior QR X Aamanda McCoy), available for sale and she can be reached at louisa email 

                                                      

"A big welcome to the Klint family" to Susan Stone of Cincinnatus, NY!  Susan purchased Windkhatcher last weekend after lots of looking.  She plans to use him as her future show horse in Hunter Under Saddle.  Windkhatcher and I had great fun introducing her to the Clinton Anderson approach to ground work and I think Susan and Windkhatcher will have lots of fun for the next year until he's old enough to go under saddle.  Windkhatcher will be staying here for another month or so while Susan gets her place set up for an additional horse, so Windkhatcher and Jebediah will have some additional play time together for part of the summer.

Happy news from Luke and Kelly Boelman of Westlock, Alberta, Canada... their mare, Ebony El Shania BG, was confirmed in foal today. Shania is Klint's first mare bred this year and his first "international" breeding.  Best wishes to the Boelmans for a gorgeous black Klint foal next spring!

Klint left early this month for Indiana and Joe Reser's Setting Sun Training Center  (click HERE!)   where he's going to start a new career as a Western Pleasure horse.  I've always believed in the individual versatility of Arabians and I hope Klint will be a great representative.  He's got good wins in Dressage, Hunter Under Saddle, Sport Horse Under Saddle and Sport Horse Show Hack so now it will be fun to stretch into a new area.  Joe has a wonderful reputation as a trainer and was nominated by the APHA for  Western Pleasure Trainer of the Year. 

From a happy customer:

I just wanted to let you know that I'm really very happy with my Klint filly.  Of course I love her dam and what she gives me, but this filly, though she might not end up being a reiner,  is just outstanding.  So 4 squared, correct and balanced. awesome feet and legs and fairly agreeable to work with. I can't tell too much, as my broken leg has prevented me from handling her much, but when she allows my non horse savvy husband to halter her and lead her from pasture to barn, I'm very happy. If she's not sold, she will be shown in sport horse, if she stays looking that way. I'll just have to relearn how to do all that again! Of course I'm still hoping for reining... she's going to be so strong!

Congratulations to Lynn Tucker of Loveland Ohio on her purchase of Jebediah Black, a yearling Klint gelding out of Midnite Cynderella by Padron's Mahogany.  Lynn grew up in the Cotswold's of England and has had horses since she was three.  She's always been a great fan of Arabian horses and is currently successfully showing her NSH gelding, Karlos Santana in hunter pleasure and halter classes.  Lynn says, "I’m hoping Jebediah will be multi talented like his father!!  What I would like to do with Jeb is sport horse under saddle and dressage. Maybe Jebediah would be a good hunter pleasure horse, you never know!"
Jeb will live here over the winter while Lynn and her husband build their barn but eventually Jeb will be Karlos' "little brother" in Loveland!

                                                      

November 2007

Welcome home Klint!
After over two years at the trainer's, Klint is home for some vacation time.  Here he is enjoying a sunny November afternoon in his paddock.  He's been having a great time rolling in the mud and lording over his two yearling colts in the adjacent pasture.

                                                       

 

 
This is Klint Mcguire, a young Klint gelding owned by Pat Tancredi, enjoying some cuddle time with Pat's two granddaughters.  Pat purchased McGuire before he was weaned and has enjoyed watching him grow up with her grandchildren.  He was started under saddle this summer and is headed for an eventual career in competitive trail riding.

                                         

 
Got this exciting news from Bonnie Harrison owner of Khassidy Bey (Klint Black++  X  Rakhassa Bey by Sundance Kid V).  Khassidy is a yearling gelding that Bonnie purchased from me as a suckling.  She has done all of the conditioning, training and showing herself and has shown him in halter, sport horse in hand, halter handling and futurity classes.
 
Well, we had our BRAHA Banquet on Saturday evening.  Our boy did really well!!!!!!!  He won Champion High Point for Halter - Yearling Fillies, Colts, and Geldings!!!  He also won Champion High Point for Halter Handling.  He won a 3rd place High Point for Sport Horse and a 4th place High Point for Versatility.   The Champion awards were porcelain Arabian horse statues - very beautiful.  I got one chestnut and one grey. Not bad for his first year of showing do you think???!!!
At the Eastern Arabian Amateur Horse Show Circuit banquet, Bonnie and Khassidy cleaned up again!  Khassidy was Champion High Point Purebred Gelding (Yearling and Younger), Reserve Champion High Point Halter Handling 3 Years and Younger and he won the Yearling Futurity for Colts and Geldings.
 
Oh, and just in case you looked at that picture of Bonnie and Khassidy and thought Bonnie was a midget, I asked her to measure him and here's what she came up with:  I did measure him a week or so ago.  He measured between 15.1 and 15.2.  He still looks like he's all legs and is curious of everything.  Not bad for a yearling!

 

                                                                   

Got this sad note from Sandi Potterton:
Khemo Rahbecca passed away this last Sunday, she went out to pasture and never came back in with her buddies.  We searched for her and it appears she laid down in the hollow amidst the trees and went to her final rest.  She was a grand old girl.
