Having worked with Virginia Tech for several years we are especially excited about leasing their mare Allegra Q (Anhaltiner-Wertherson), who presented us with a simply stunning Sternlicht colt on April 18th. We would like to say a very special thank you to Dr. Rebecca Splan of the Virginia Tech Foundation for providing us with this amazing opportunity. Jane has decided that the name Santana best fits this amazing colt.

A Sport Horse Handler, whether at a show, inspection or exhibition, constantly strives for that 'magical moment' as he guides a horse in hand around the arena, often negotiating a large triangle formed from flower pots and jump poles. Together the two lift off and eat up the ground, matching stride for stride -- the horse seeming to float, to collect and extend on his own, all in perfect rhythm. The handler is as discreet as possible so that all attention focuses on the horse looking his best.
The manicured grounds of the Lamplight Equestrian Center were superb as was the quality of the equine competitors at the 2009 Markel/United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) National Young Horse Dressage Championships and the 2009 USEF National Developing Horse Dressage Championship, sponsored by the Dutta Corporation and Performance Sales International.
