UPDATE: Mudd has found a great home!!! Horsey friends: Every barn has a little bit of mud, right?! Well, this beautiful boy named Mudd would love to escape th...e shelter and join your farm family. He’s 1 year old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and I would happily deliver him to you! He was surrendered after biting someone, but hasn’t shown this behaviour in the shelter. Please message me if you could add some Mudd to your farm...maybe it will make it feel like spring! See more

3 years ago we made a trip to Czech looking for hunters - and came home with this amazing horse - Loverboy! Affectionately known around the barn as Flip! Could...n't have done it without the help of Svatia Zaplatilova and Tenerife Stables! As a 6 year old, Loverboy took Sammy Saunders straight into the Junior hunters and qualified for the Royal Horse Show at such a young age. The next year, Emma Saunders took over the reins and once again Flip returned to the Royal for the Children's Hunters and the JC Medal with Samantha. This year, Emma and Flip moved into the Junior hunters and enjoyed another great Royal Horse Show! Emma and Flip were also the 2019 OHJA/CET Mini Medal Champions showing their versatility in both hunter and jumper rings. Flipper was a barn favourite at Gryphon Farms and we are so excited to see him move on to his next chapter under the guidance of Greg Crolic in the USA. Congratulations to Wonderland Sport Horses, Sammy Saunders and Emma Saunders for the many successes over the past 3 years and we all wish Flip much success with his new family!

Can’t thank Max and Kelly enough for entrusting Addison with Mete this summer. Has been a great experience!

Looking forward to another Royal Horse Show. Congrats to Emma Suanders and Loverboy (Jr hunters and JC Medal), Addison McQuaker and Meredith VG (Childrens Hunte...r) and Kieley McQuaker and Kyra VZ (Jr hunters and Derby). Still waiting for a few who are number 1 on the wait list so fingers crossed! Good luck to everyone! See more

Now that the Royal is over I guess we can also say Congratulations on selling Loverboy! I'm sure his next owner will love him as much as you did - in fact I know she will!! ------- We would also like to congratulate Emma Saunders on her accomplishments this year. A very successful Children's Hunter year with an even more successful Children's Medal and Hunter Derby accomplishments -- So to you Emma a big Congratulations on the purchase of Flip as your Junior hunter for next year.
