July 12, 2008--Will o' Wind Horse Trials: Another 45% in dressage for Kim and Amelie before the show got washed out by the rain and storm. Remember dressage people, a low score is good in eventing(and combined driving )!

July 22, 2008--What excitement! Maragold has completed her groundwork and Kim has been so kind as to give me her assistance in the backing process! Kim has been "aboard" 4 times to date. Maragold is proving to be intelligent and willing, and very much enjoying the attention!!

July 24, 2008--New pics of Molinaro Precious and Phalon added to their pages. Also a video clip of Precious' amazing trot added to the "video clips" page.

July 27, 2008--Congratulations to Kim and Amelie for achieving two 2nds. at their first dressage show today! Despite some major distractions, Kim and Amelie pulled off a 65.21% in Training test 1(15 competitors) and a 68% in Training test 4(18 competitors). Might I suggest anyone looking for a dressage prospect that they pay serious attention to Maragold here on my site.....out of the same dam(Mandelied) as Amelie, and by the dressage stallion, Marangai!

July 30, 2008--Received a wonderful e-mail and update from Joanne, owner of Pacifica!:  "Hi Shirley! I just wanted to let you know how Pacifica is doing.  Since we saw you last a lot has happened.  Her training is coming along quite nicely and we have started showing this year. Our first schooling show in April our first test (walk/trot) 72% (1st place) and 68% (2nd place) and we were Novice Horse Reserve Champ. For the May show, it was the judges first time and we won the first class with a 57% and also the second class with a 58%. And was named walk/trot Champ. The July show she was ready to move up to training in the big ring 20x60  Training test 1  70% (1st) and Training test 2  69% (2nd) (lost by .4 of a percent!!!! ouch!) We were named AA Champ."  For a show photo of Pacifica, please click here . Pacifica is also a half sister to Maragold!

August 4, 2008--Added a new pic of Kim and Maragold lungeing!

August 8, 2008--I stand corrected! Someone pointed out to me the proper way of changing the penalty points in an eventing dressage test to a percentage. Stay tuned while I get the correct information from Kim so I can post Amelie's outstanding dressage percentages!

August 10, 2008--Way to go Kim! Kim and Amelie had their work cut out for them in the rain at the Belvoir Horse Trials! But even so, they accomplished a second place finish in the Open Entry Sr. division with a dressage score of 84%!...second best dressage score of the entire day!!

Clear-enk Stables is located 5 minutes north of Rockwood, Ontario, Canada. As a small-scale breeder, we are able to give individualized attention and daily handling to our youngsters. From the moment of making a decision on a stallion for one of our broodmares, to the moment when the resulting "baby" takes it's first step onto the ramp of the trailer that will take him/her to their new home, we take great pride in the care and development of each particular horse!

Our breeding farm is situated on 52 acres which gives plenty of room for quality home-grown hay and lots of turnout for the horses. Our bedding of choice is straw, and it is baled on neighbouring fields. Feed for the broodmares and growing horses is carefully monitored and fed in accordance to the strict needs and guidelines of the future athlete!

Youngsters are handled on a daily basis, therefore being mannerly and people-oriented. They receive plenty of turnout to socialize and "just be a horse"! Line shows give them the opportunity to learn to trailer and experience the activities of a horse show. Once ready to start under saddle, at the age of 3, our "babies" are brought along slowly and properly in the basics of dressage.

If you are looking for a prospect with willingness and trainability, as well as athleticism, movement and correct conformation, you've come to the right place! Buy direct from the breeder and know what you're getting!
