THE HITCH HORSES

These are the horses of Whispering Meadows. We recently sold Doug. We will miss him greatly. We are rebuilding our hitch with young stock and are looking forward to the 2006 show season.

BARNEY

is a Michigan bred 17.2hh Percheron Gelding and is one heck of a great mover. He is outstanding in any spot he is hooked, he also loves to be the center of attention. Here he can be seen strutting his stuff at the 2004 Michigan Great Lakes International Show in the Men's Cart class

D & D's BOBBY

This nice looking young gelding made his debut for us as a 3 yr. old in 2005. We have brought him along slowly and look forward to seeing what he is capable of in 2006. We have high hopes for this youngster. Keep your eye out for him in the show ring.

HPF Ontario's Kodiak

Kodi is a yearling we purchased this year who has yet to make a debut for us in the show ring. 2006 will be his first year and we are pointing him towards the Jr. Cart and hopefully the Jr. team at the 2006 World Congress. His full sister was part of the 2004 World Champion Jr. team in Manitoba so he has a lot to live up to.

Kealey's Luckie Lynn

This is Lynn a 2 yr old grand daughter of Highview Dragano out of a mare that goes back to Kirby's Alabama and Blackhome Duke. We hope that she lives up to her breeding. We expect to show this fine young mare in both hitch classes and halter. She is also for sale. Further info can be found on Horses for Sale area.

We are currently building a 4 horse hitch and have some young horses that we hope to work into our hitch for 2006. 2005 has been an excellent show season for us. Our horses placed well at every show that we went to and we are very happy with the results. Barney really stepped up to the plate in his classes and can be considered one of the best cart horses in the country. He has also done an outstanding job of leading our unicorn hitch. Bobby is a young gelding in our hitch that did well for us in 2005. He has done everything we have asked of him and we look forward to the maturity he will have next year in the ring. Thank you to David Bontrager for selling us this gelding. We are looking to point our efforts towards the Percheron World Congress in October of 2006. Currently our string consists of the 5 horses at the left. 2006 will be the first year in the show ring for 3 of these young horses and we are hoping that we can ready them for the big shows. We will have our work cut out for us. Kodi, Lynn and Pearl are the newest additions to our farm.

We now have the 2005 behind us, It was a whirlwind year and we were so proud of our horses and results. We were able to attain our goals which were to compete at a couple of A rated shows and better our placings overall as well as be competitive with our unicorn hitch. Detailed results of our 2005 show season can be seen in our Show Results area.

Lauren was the stand out star in our showing efforts racking up 2 wins in the youth cart and team at the Michigan State Fair. Well done kid!
