What a wonderful day at Borderline Farm in North Branch, MI when we presented Reesling for inspection. The weather was perfect, the inspection site was beautiful and the hosts, judges and spectators were all friendly, helpful and encouraging.
The stallions were first to be inspected, followed by mares and foals. After Reesling was approved and received his Certified Breeding Licence, his four foals were then presented.
I would like to thank each mare owner for showing their confidence and support in Reesling by waiting to present to the ISR/OLD and bypassing the BWP & RPSI inspections!! I am blessed to have worked with so many wonderful owners and breeders.

Thanks to Jan, owner at C and W Horse Transport for your generosity, kindness and for their sponsorship ~ We would like to extend a huge thank you on behalf of everyone here at Trailsend Stable
Kellie arrived in Florida before Reesling to unload him and make sure he saw a familiar face.
C & W Transport are the experts on the
north/south route to Florida.
When you are ready to escape the cold of Michigan
and the north --- Head to Florida and don't trust
your horse to anyone else!!!!
Weekly trips to and from southern Florida.
Thank You to sporthorsesaddlery.com for supplying Reesling with some much needed training equipment for his Florida adventure!!
Premium filly, Red Red Wine
Reesling is in Florida!!!
After a long and comfortable ride in one of C & W's finest shipping vans, Reesling was relieved and "shocked" to arrive in Florida. It's not easy going from 0 degrees to 85 degrees in 24 hours!!!
No, Reesling, there is no snow at this farm but a lot of beautiful "green" and palm trees everywhere. Reesling is busy preparing for his testing, and being "spoiled" by his trainer Kellie -- what a lucky boy!!
Thanks to Kellie for putting her life and schooling on hold to do this with Reesling.
More than a wonderful trainer, but also a great and devoted friend.

Our wonderful little lesson mare, Penny, has a
colt by Reesling.
Raining Pennies (Rain) decided to make us wait an extra month for his birth! It was worth it, though, he is fabulous.
Penny is an arab mare, we expected this cross to be wonderful and we weren't disappointed.
We have never had a "Reesling" foal small enough to pick up! They usually weigh over 100 lbs. Little Rain was so small and sweet.
Rave and Rain taking a nap on a lovely summer day. Oh, the life :-)
