It is miracles time at Kenelm Arabians!!

April 25th and 26th ! Well, remember, I was so anxious about the pregnancies of my mares Shamilah Samsara and Loïs. Both for different reasons. Shamilah Samsara ( Nadir I x La Salone by Salon ) was empty for the last 7 years, with many problems and a filly aborted on a Christmas day some years ago, but Nature can do miracles.

After 3 complete nights of foal watch, Sam decided to offer me on the morning of the Sunday 25th of April one of the most magical moment of my entire life. It was 7 am , perfect weather, all was very calm and relaxed and then she laid down and started to foal , just with me, a little bit stressed ( quite a long time without babies ! ) and anxious my most perfect mare delivered very easily the most exotic bay colt I could dream of. Sired by Kenelm Elazri by Padrons Immage this baby surpasses all my expectations but above all makes his mother happy and I just felt like a truly blessed person !

4 white socks, a small star, a fun spot on his right side, and the tiniest and most exotic head ! This little treasure is named Kenelm Samazing, and yes be ready to be amazed ! So here he is :

Kenelm Samazing ( Kenelm Elazri x Shamilah Samsara )

Being able to see Samsara with a baby at her side makes me smile, she’s perfect, and loves her baby so much. Don’t know how such a miracle happens, but that’s one of the most emotional moment of my entire breeder life , can’t wait to see the little prince growing and hope he’ll carry high the flag for us on the show rings in the years to come

Shamilah Samsara an happy mum !!

But it was not the end of the happy story ! The day after, on Monday 26th the best friend of Samsara, Loïs, foaled also on the evening another incredible baby, THE bay filly by Elazri I was waiting for years ! Oh My God, this girl is perfect ( at least to my eyes !! ) and SO huge and strong. She looks like a one week old baby compared to Samazing who is tiny and ultra refined ! Loïs lost her last baby, 2 years ago , after a terrible foaling and a septicaemia, it was a scary moment and I still think about this beautiful colt who fought for his life for 4 days…..it was not meant to be…..Today the sun is back in Loïs stable but also in my heart when looking at this extraordinary filly, who will carry her mother’s legacy here for the years to come. Can’t part with her….

So please, enjoy the first pictures of Kenelm Louiziana, at 12 hours old and 30 hours old !

Kenelm Louiziana ( Kenelm Elazri x Loïs )

So I just would like to thank my fabulous mares for their outstanding “work” in producing top class babies and I’m also VERY proud of my stallion Kenelm Elazri who as an 8 years old guy can be very proud too of his babies ! It seems that miracles can happen twice !

Las Vegas Show | April 12th 2010

The show season is starting and the big event of La Vegas has been another big success ! I would like to congratulate the beautiful Maraysa ( Marwan al Shaqab x Aysia by Besson Carol ) bred by my friend Daniele Taylor of Taylor Arabians in USA and now owned by Al Khalediah farm for being the champion of the 5 years old mares class ! This snow white beauty has a long successful show career ahead for sure ! Maraysa’s dam is the ¾ sister of our own Arjanna el Jamaal, who is sired by Parys el Jamaal ( sire of Besson Carol ) and out of the same dam, Desha Bey Alisha than Aysia !! Arjanna is in foal to multiple champion Adawy for 2011, should be a special foal !! Also a BIG congrats to Brookville Arabians for winning the ATH stallions championship with Staarwan ( Marwan al Shaqab x C Starlight Bey ) sire of our own Kenelm Arizona Staar ! This colt is destined to be one of our future sires and we’re very happy with this result !

March 19th : first baby of the season !! A Bay filly !

This is with extreme pride that I announce the birth of our first 2010 foal. An absolutely gorgeous bay filly sired by Sandstorm and out of MSA Evening Song that I have named Kenelm Estrella ! This is the 6th baby resulting from this cross and the first bay ! I’m over the moon ! after 4 sleepless nights of foal watch Evening Song decided to deliver at 8:30 am , smart no ?!
Anyway this filly is all we could dream from this pedigree and the color is just a little bonus. I’m amazed by the extreme consistency of this cross and none of the babies from this mating were disappointing.
A huge thanks to my fabulous mare who once again produced a little star for us.

Kenelm Estrella ( Sandstorm JC x MSA Evening Song )

Happy Birthday to my beloved Sandstorm ! 1st of March 2010

What can I say ? Just a BIG thank you to all of you who have sent Birthday wishes to Sandstorm . I just feel honoured to have the privilege to own such a fabulous arabian horse. Son, grandson, great grandson of national champions, a multiple show champion himself and sire of champions from endurance to show halter going through endurance, show hack, dressage and western divisions……
Sandy is 21 years today , I hope we’ll have many more years to share !

Sandstorm JC ( Fame VF x Sids Marjuri by Sidi Brahim )

A picture is often better than thousand words but I have to share this story about Sandstorm , thank you Terry Polk from Los Acres in California for sharing this with us

Happy Birthday to the sweet beautiful Sandstorm...what joy you brought here to Los Acres when I was so privileged to work with you for a short time....I will never forget the Liberty class you won in a large show near San Francisco. The sun went away, the sky filled with dust and sand, but in came Sandstorm to win the Liberty competition...seemed like time stood still as he came bounding across the arena in this strange weather that appeared about the time the competition began. And his music was perfect for him...a friend of mine composed it, the theme song from "Lawrence of Arabia. People were in tears as they watched him with his music...as if it was written for him, on that day....I love you Sandstorm!

And you know, this is impossible to put into words, the beauty of that day....I was in the arena with him at the time, and I could not see well because of the sand and dust, and the tears of my own eyes. I remember looking to the many people on the fence watching and listening, and noticed they were crying too of the beauty they were witnessing. ... He is so much like *Sid in looks and disposition, then that beautiful touch of Fame, Bey Shah and Raffon....but most of all Fadjur! And did you know his dam, Sids Marjuri is still alive and full of pep, at 33 years of age. So he has many more beautiful years ahead :) xo

You are all welcome to come and see him here in real, this fairytale horse is our pride and joy and still produce super babies, one at a time, for all purposes , all with his incredible beauty and talent.

A special note about my friend Shannon Anderson, from Dahabi Arabians in USA who does own PF Beauty Queen sired by Sandstorm. I wanted to share this picture with you of an absolutely stunning daughter of our stallion, good example of the kind of type Sandstorm is able to sire.

PF Beauty Queen ( Sandstorm JC x Fadjurs Beauty )

The future sire of Kenelm Arabians: Kenelm Arizona Staar February 28th 2010

Well its always difficult to make choices, but selling this colt is just out of my possibilities.
Arizona will bring to the foals he’ll sire a fabulous pedigree with the great Bey Shah; Marwan al Shaqab, Khemosabi and 3 lines to the giant Bask. Arizona’s qualities are numerous but my favorite thing about him are his eyes , never saw biggest eyes ! he just seems to look into your soul.
Arizona will be certainly available for your mares in 2012, until this moment he’ll grow peacefully at home and will certainly be shown next year.

I’m working at a complete detailed page for him soon in the stallions section, before this here are a couple of pics of him taken very recently.

Kenelm Arizona Staar ( Staarwan x ADF Athena by Gold Krugerand )

I would like to thank a lot the many people who inquired about him from France, Spain and Middle East, thank you all for your interest in this incredible colt.
We’ll try to help Arizona to reach his full potential as a show horse and a breeding stallion.

The gorgeous Mayssa has found a new home 25th of February 2010

A difficult decision but a very good home has been found for this outstanding mare born in Canada.
As you all know I’m completely in love with Mayssa’s 2009 filly Kenelm Marbella. Bella will stay with me ! Running a breeding farm is full of difficult choices and decisions, but it’s always the happiness of the horse which is on the top of my requirement list and this is a very very good home
A huge congratulations to Mrs Beata Lugans for the purchase of this magnificent mare who will produce many gorgeous foals for you.
Mayssa is being bred to Kenelm Elazri by Padrons Immage for a 2011 baby.

Mayssa by Besson Carol has found a new lovely home !

New pictures of Alika el Than by Jonathan El Ludjin, a once in a lifetime mare, February 25th 2010

Here are a few new shots of the incredible Alika, she’s a world class mare who should be able to win anywhere in the world. Will be bred soon !

Alika el Than ( Jonathan el Ludjin x LM Alisha by CWP Chances Are )

Alika’s beauty is maybe just equalled by her incredible gentleness

New arrival soon at Kenelm Arabians ! 25th of February 2010

This is a surprise who will arrive quite soon at our farm. A fantastic 2 years old filly, already show winner, with line to Ali Jamaal and to some great Spanish Arabians!
More details soon ! just wanted to share a snapshot with you all !
A big thank you to her breeder and owner for her confidence, more details coming soon !

Breeding news February 2010

Well last straight line before foalings! MSA Evening Song is very close to foal, should be in the next 8 days. Can’t wait to see her 6th Sandstorm baby ! this mare is so extremely beautiful and all of her babies are stunning.
Anastacia should follow her but as usual is always over due so probably we’ll have to wait until end of march before seeing her baby
To my biggest delight Shamilah Samsara is still in foal, it’s just incredible. Due date is 4th of April. Don’t want to think too much about it, it’s stressful, this mare is the epitome of an Arabian and has been a show champion supreme. The few babies she got were super, and as a funny matter of fact, I received recently pictures of her last born “baby”, Kenelm Savannah, now 7 years old and in foal for may, time goes on….here she is :

Kenelm Savannah ( Lumiar Amadeus x Shamilah Samsara )

Savannah is sired by Lumiar Amadeus by RSD Dark Victory. She is proudly owned by the Lopez family in France and as you can see they’ve enjoyed a lot of snow this winter !

Kenelm Elazri bred also his first mare for the season, the lovely Kenelm Evening Fame who’s sold, she’s been checked in foal so will leave us soon along with Kenelm Paris Passion for the eastern part of France !

Adawy also bred his first girl, this is my beloved Raves and Roses by Rave VF , should make a truly wonderful and extremely typey versatile horse. Scanned in foal too !

Raves and Roses in foal to Adawy for 2011 !

Currently we do have Arjanna el Jamaal, ADF Athena and Mayssa waiting for being bred quite soon
Mayssa will be bred to Elazri for new owners, Arjanna is booked to Adawy and I have to say I’m still hesitating for Athena, this mare is truly incredible ! and is you see her 2009 baby Kenelm Arizona Staar you will easily understand what kind of standard this mare is able to produce.

January 29th 2010: breeding and sales news

Well it seems it was yesterday when I did the last updates on this website…..so many things happened once again and I’m still late !

First of all even if I’m quite late I would like to wish a wonderful and happy new year to you all. May 2010 bring you only good and positive things in your lives.

Then I would like to tell you to visit the stallions page to explore the new stallions listing and discover the new Adawy’s information, you’ll see plenty of pictures of him and a lot of info about his family and relatives, I’m still working on the progeny’s page, Adawy’s waiting for about 20 babies in Sweden this year so I will post baby news here ! Stay tuned !

Adawy ( Borneo x Ashiqa by Crusader )

I cannot thank enough Adawy’s owner Mrs Emma Maxwell, for entrusting us and letting us lease her boy for this season, come to see him , he’s fabulous !

If you have a closer look at the stallions page you’ll can see that one is missing. It is Kenelm Khemostorm, this gorgeous 5 years old stallion is now sold to a wonderful new family in France where he’ll be head sire and will make some endurance racings and probably dressage. I’m over the moon with this opportunity for Khemo.
He’s a gorgeous horse with a lot of qualities and he will reach his full potential there.
Khemo now belongs to Christine Chevalier for the El Bahia farm. Khemo is still at home for the moment as we are finishing his work under saddle and he should make a top riding horse. Khemo will be still available for outside mares so you can contact us about this if you wish. His pedigree is impeccable as well as his conformation and mind.

Kenelm Khemostorm ( Sandstorm JC x Khaptivating Lady by Sanadik el Shaklan)

And we announce also the sale of Kenelm Evening Fame ( Sandstorm JC x MSA Evening Song ) and Kenelm Paris Passion ( Perlaan el Javier x Kenelm Psyara by Psymadré ) to a very nice family in the eastern part of France. Both are gorgeous ladies and will make a wonderful addition to the breeding program of their new owner. Both will leave soon, we are just waiting to breed Fame to our great Padrons Immage’s son Kenelm Elazri. We’re sure it will make a star quality foal. Once again we wish to the new owners all the best for the future with those lovely girls with super breeding , lot of type and great dispositions.

Kenelm Evening Fame and Kenelm Paris Passion

We are so happy to see our horses bringing so much interest from clients. It is truly a real gift for me as a breeder.
Many projects are in my mind and some other sales are still pending so it seems I will be able to announce other departures very soon, how exciting !

The breeding season is just around the corner and I’m very impatient to breed my mares, I’m so happy with the babies we’ve obtained here for now 10 years that I just cannot wait to see more!
If all goes well we should breed about 10 mares for us.
Adawy is a true incredible opportunity so I will be bred several of my best mares and producers to him this year such as Mayssa by Besson Carol; Arjanna el Jamaal by Parys el Jamaal, Raves and Roses by Rave VF and some more.
Kenelm Elazri will have also some nice girls for him from us and our clients, like my beloved Sandstorm who will celebrate his 21st birthday soon !

Kenelm Elazri by Padrons Immage

Sandstorm JC by Fame VF

Adawy by Borneo

All are very typey, all have fabulous pedigree, all are accomplished show and riding horses. If you do want a typey baby with potential under saddle, you have the choice ! 3 very different horses from different bloodlines but all sweet and cool horses.

Our boys will start to breed very soon and in the same time the 2010 babies should start to arrive early in march.
We just have 4 planned this year but all are very special to me.

In march we are waiting for Anastacia who’s in foal to Kenelm Elazri, this will be a full sibling of the incredibly exotic Kenelm Arkangel who we sold last year and tragically died a few weeks after leaving the farm.

Then also in march this will be MSA Evening Song who is foal once again to Sandstorm, it will be her 6th baby with our chief sire but each time it is a top quality baby, can’t decide to try another stallion with her!
Evening Song’s last year baby is Kenelm Elfin Storm you can see him in the sales list but hurry up, he’s breathtaking, maybe the most exotic colt I ever bred. HUGE eyes, super conformation and a lot of attitude, this one needs to be shown !

Then in April we are waiting for my all time most anticipated baby ! Well, Shamilah Samsara had her last foal to date in 2003 a filly by Lumiar Amadeus, then we never succeeded into her going to full term. She reabsorbed a lot of times and then aborted a fabulous filly foal on a Christmas day a few years ago, sired by Elazri.
We did tests and investigations on her and the results shown an important uterus fibrosis, not a lot of chances to have her pregnant and even less to carry to full term, embryo transfer seemed to be the best solution but it’s very expensive and no guarantee, so she spent several relaxing years here at the farm until last spring where she shown incredibly strong heat cycles…..so we tried, one heat cycle, and she was pregnant, when I saw the embryo growing at each scanning it was like looking at a living miracle.
So time flies but there is still some days until her due date around the 4th of april. We can just hope and cross our fingers to get that baby and to see this incredible show mare with a foal to take care of. No need to say I’m quite anxious !

And last but not least, my foundation mare Loïs is due for beginning of May, also in foal to Elazri. As you maybe remember Loïs lost her only Elazri baby in may 2008 after 5 days of strong battle against septicaemia. This future baby means a lot to me.

So not a lot of babies but lot of emotions ahead !

Loïs and Shamilah Samsara two of my mares carrying “miracle” babies !
As you maybe know both of those mares are also fabulous producers. Loïs had 4 foals to date including Kenelm Lucky Star exported to USA where he’s a multiple champion in reining. Kenelm Psyara sold last year and in training for the endurance season and Kenelm Liberty who’s working under saddle in western riding and should be trained for endurance too.
Samsara has had 3 foals including Kenelm Ibn Samsara by Padrons Immage who was many time international show winner and was a fabulous riding horse both in western riding and on trails.
I sold all Loïs and Samsara’s offspring born at the farm so I will probably keep those ones , just praying for them being healthy babies. This is the most important.

Kenelm Lucky Star out of Loïs and Kenelm Ibn Samsara out of Samsara

All our 2009 babies are now weaned and that’s just incredible how quick they grow !
Some of them have already found a new home like Kenelm Rising Sun, Kenelm Anaïs Jamaal and Kenelm Paris Passion and I’m very happy to have some of them still at the farm to see them growing !

As mentioned above Kenelm Elfin Storm is just incredible with and ultra short and dished head, great conformation and very sweet dispositions, his stablemate Kenelm Arizona Staar is a bay giant, should end around 15,2 or 15,3 hands, his bones are large and strong and he’s ultra charismatic, what a pretty and funny boy!
The girls are gorgeous too. 3 still belongs to me.
Kenelm Marbella, or Bella, is just perfect ( OK, to my eyes ! ) she’s very tall; stretchy and moves like hell. Kenelm Kirsten the daughter of Khemostorm and Fame, being double Sandstorm, is very interesting not the most exotic head ( even if she truly does have ears to die for ! ) but a conformation hard to fault and a very impressive movement with stunning paces. She moves like a dressage horse which is something I really like !
And last but not least our little phenomenon Kenelm Paloma Bey is turning into a real beauty, everyone watching her is speakless and just looking at her when turned loose in the paddock gives me goosebumps , her perfect head , endless neck, short topline, extreme tail carriage and incredible attitude are just a pleasure to admire. So I have to let you know that we will be back in the show rings soon. Paloma will leave our farm in march for joining the Schoukens Training Center show string for this 2010 international show season. We will let you know when and where she will be presented. We’ll see what the future holds for this special filly.

Kenelm Paloma Bey our 2010 show contender !

As you can see many things are happening, we also enjoy the visit of many clients and Arabian lovers and it is a real pleasure for us to share our horses with you.

We still do have a few horses available for sale for various prices and are more and more determined than ever to promote our horses in various disciplines. Several of our breeding horses are back to performance work like Kenelm Elazri or ADF Athena, we want to show you that an Arabian can be extremely beautiful but also a fantastic mount.
If all goes well about 15 Kenelm bred horses will be in training and should be shown this year from dressage to reining, endurance, and show halter. If there are any results to share be sure to find them here !

So do not hesitate to contact us and to see our work by yourself, to discover our offspring, our stallions and of course the upcoming babies.

Thank you once again for reading this long update !

November 25st 2009: Kenelm Majoral is sold

As beautiful and sweet as his sire Kenelm Majoral ( Sandstorm x Malanje by Borsalino K ) has just found a great new home in the area of Rennes. He’s going to become the endurance horse of the family and I’m more than convinced that he will excel in this discipline. Now an happy gelding Majoral will enjoy a great life with other horses ( he’ll be the first Arabian horse of the family ! ). I’m very happy to see his future rider realizing her dream to own an Arabian horse, welcome to the big family ! Wishing you all the best for the future

Kenelm Majoral by Sandstorm JC

November 18th 2009 : a new loving home for Kenelm Angkor

The moving machine Kenelm Angkor will become the new friend for life of Kenelm Anaïs Jamaal sold recently to Mr Rousseau.
Angkor is going to be gelded and should leave soon with Anaïs for a true loving and caring family. No need to say that as a breeder it is a real relief for me to find outstanding new owners like these for my beloved “babies”
We wish Mr Rousseau and the whole family many years of happiness with the sweet Angkor

Kenelm Angkor by Sandstorm JC

New pictures of Kenelm Rising Sun in his new family November 15th 2009

I often receive pics of my home breds ( thank you to all the owners, you can’t imagine how happy I’m with your updates ! )once they are in their new homes but those ones are particularly adorable !
“Sunny” ( Sandstorm JC x Raves and Roses by Rave VF ) left our place recently for the Nantes area and he’s now a true member of his new family, I think those pics don’t need any comments…..Enjoy !

Thanks to Stéphanie Gueguen the new Sunny’s mum for sending us those fantastic pics of a very happy weanling in a fabulous family

Countdown has started !! Shamilah Samsara is now 7 months pregnant.

Well…..OK nothing spectacular …. BUT when you know her last foal was born in 2003 and since this moment she aborted a filly on a Christmas day, reabsorbed about 10 times and was diagnosed with an uterus fibrosis it is more than a normal pregnancy it is a miracle, of course no one can say if she’ll carry to term, BUT we are looking forward the end of march with GREAT anticipation, we do not try to win any battle against Nature, we just give a chance to a fabulous mare to carry on her legacy and to enjoy motherhood.
Anyone knowing me can realise the importance of Samsara, she was my dream horse and when she arrived in my stables it was just like a fairytale. Samsara will turn 17 years old next year but she looks like a teenager and enjoys her daily life with Loïs. Both are in foal to Kenelm Elazri.
Even if I expect great things from this cross my main goal is to have a live foal and an happy mare. After several years of complete reproductive rest Samsara shown so strong heat cycles this year that we thought it was maybe a sign it could work, we just give it a try and she was scanned pregnant ……we’ll keep you informed!

Shamilah Samsara ( Nadir I x La Salone by Salon )

Fun in the pasture: ADF Athena and Raves and Roses

Those are not glamour and fancy pics but I think you’ll enjoy them. Here are two of my broodmares ADF Athena ( Gold Krugerand x Lilique by Khemosabi ) and Raves and Roses ( Rave VF x MFA Coming Up Roses by Fame VF ). Both are born in USA, both in 2000, both had gorgeous colts this year and are open for next year. So they just enjoy life and wow ! it makes my day to see them like that!

And a few new photos of Kenelm Marbella ; just can’t get enough !

Here is my own “Bella” , I looked for a special name for her since her birth and wanted something related to the Twilight Saga, and as I also adored the city of Marbella in Spain it was the opportunity to have both meanings in a same name. Bella is just special , I just can’t put my eyes off her.

Sales news, October 30th 2009

Another Kenelm horse has just found a fabulous new home ! Congratulations to Mr Rousseau for buying Kenelm Anaïs Jamaal, 2009 grey filly sired by our champion stallion Sandstorm JC and out of the top producer Arjanna el Jamaal by Parys El Jamaal.

A very touching story as Mr Rousseau dreamt about an Arabian horse for many years and we are very happy he chose our farm to fulfil his lifelong dream.

Welcome to the fascinating world of the Arabian horse and we wish you many years of love, success and happiness with the beautiful and sweet Anaïs

Kenelm Anaïs Jamaal ( Sandstorm x Arjanna el Jamaal )

October 27th 2009, lot of news !

Each time I’m updating the site, I think okay next time it will be more relaxing and it is not ! What a busy life we do have here but how exciting it is !

I just think I’m a very lucky person and I really love my job and what incredible creature the Arabian horse is, I’m speak less in front of their beauty and incredible charisma and gentleness, well don’t know where to start…..Hum maybe with Adawy !

He arrived here almost one month ago and Oh My ! What a horse, so fun and cool to be around, a real gentleman and a darling to work with. My plans are to ride him soon on the trails and in dressage and I’m already thinking about the mares I’ll bred to him in 2010.

Adawy is a tall horse with superb conformation and a fabulous character. I cannot thank his owner Emma Maxwell enough for letting me lease her boy for the upcoming breeding season.

I was very happy to receive Emma and his lovely son and her adorable parents to visit the farm and my breeding program and to discover the new home of Adawy. It was a great day with a lot of interesting talks about the Arabian horse. I’m working on the webpage of Adawy so it will be online very soon. Here are some Adawy’s pics taken the day after his arrival. What a fairytale horse !

Adawy
( Borneo x Ashiqa by Crusader )

Well most of us think about the Arabian horse as a magnificient horse but above all is a fabulous working mount. I have the proof of that everyday at the farm. One of the most recent proof is Kenelm Psyara ( Psymadré x Loïs by Fiodor ) born in 2003 and sold recently to Mr Alain Affortit from the beautiful area of Cevennes in France. Psyara left my farm last Saturday morning and Alain was on her back on Sunday ! and yes we’ve got pictures, the extraordinary mind and gentleness of those horses amaze me. Psyara always loved humans and I’m not surprised about this but better than 1000 words here are some pics of her in her new home I just received, I think they speak for themselves.

Yes I’m a very proud mom ! Alain is very happy with Psyara and when visiting the farm he was really impressed by all our breeding program ( booked a breeding to Elazri ! ) and it seems that maybe another Kenelm could leave for his place soon !

It’s always a fantastic feeling for me to see the new owners happy with the horses purchased from us.

Another homebred who makes me proud is Kenelm Lady Krystal ( Sandstorm JC x Khaptivating Lady by Sanadik el Shaklan ), who made her first 60 kms race in Uzes earlier this month. After a very difficult race ( Krystal and Philippe falled on the road due to a very stupid person……) the mare finished the race courageously and ended successfully. Krystal is now back home with owner and rider Philippe Mathieu and enjoys a well deserved rest until next season which should begin in march. A big congrats to Krystal for her results obtained this year and to Philippe for leading her to those achievements.

So it is time to work also our horses here at the farm, that’s why our young boy Kenelm Khemostorm has started ground work. If all goes well it is in another discipline you should see him next year, jumping ! Khemo is very willing to work. The saddle and bridle did not caused him any problem and his work at lunge is excellent. Khemo is the full brother to Krystal so he should make also an awesome sport horse.

Here he is at one of his very first lessons:

I’m so proud of that boy ! he’ll be a talented riding horse I’m really convinced of that. Winter time is just perfect for starting youngsters. That’s why my beloved gelding Kenelm Genesis ( Sandstorm JC x DSA Ghalia ) is also starting to work, he seems to enjoy it and will make a good ridden companion for Khemo ( they’re actually already best friends ! ) and also our young Kenelm Majoral ( Sandstorm JC x Malanje by Borsalino K ) is working twice a week at lunge to start him slowly under saddle, he does not mind of anything and loves attention, this one should make a superior endurance horse ! I do not have pics of them yet at work, but they’re coming soon !

It’s time to work but also time to wean! Kenelm Elfin Storm, Kenelm Arizona Staar and Kenelm Rising Sun have been weaned together and all goes very well. Since this moment Rising Sun, aka Sunny , left for his new home last Sunday with Stéphanie and Philippe Gueguen, and I’m sure they will take great care of this sweet baby who is a son of Sandstorm and Raves and Roses. Elfin and Arizona are now growing together !

For the girls, Kenelm Passion N Paris has been the first to be weaned in august as she was born in February. She’s doing very well and is the coolest baby I’ve ever met, looks like a old one! Nothing scares her, nothing bores her, she’s always on, ears straight and she seems to smile at everyone.

Passion is turning out with Kenelm Evening Dream, our gorgeous yearling filly ( well almost 2 years old now ! ) They have been joined recently by Kenelm Paloma Bey ( Mystic Jamaal x Prima Donna Bey by NV Beau Bey ). What to say about her ? she’s just incredible, ultra exotic girl with a lot of movement and charisma, one of the best fillies we’ve ever bred. Paloma does have a lot of personality but she’s fun and loves attention ( in fact she does not understand why we do not take care only of her ! ) Her mum has been recently exported to England and more I think about Paloma more I’m not really enthusiast with the idea to sell her! She’s just magnificient and all the persons who have seen her have recognized her extreme quality. Her weaning was perfect, she’s now a very happy girl ready to start soon her show career

So we still have 3 foals with their mums now. Kenelm Kirsten , the first filly sired by Khemostorm and out of Kenelm Evening Fame, she’s a VERY correct filly and it seems she will not stay with us for a long time as several persons falled in love with her , not a surprise though, she’s a gem on the making and could shine in any sphere.

Kenelm Anaïs Jamaal by Sandstorm JC is still with her mum Arjanna el Jamaal, what a HUGE filly she is ! she should make an extraordinary riding horse , she’ll be very tall and her conformation is very hard to fault and what movement this girl does have! I need to make recent pics of her

And last one is Kenelm Marbella, hum……well OK, I’m biased, I just love her so don’t want to bore you with pages of compliments about her, just want to share this ;

Other horses are all very happy with the incredible weather we do have currently, lot of sun, cool temperatures, dry atmosphere, and even if they develop their winter coat they all look gorgeous. Here are the grey Alika el Than by Jonathan el Ludjin and the dark bay Scalina el Javier by Javier el Jamaal, both 3 years old, both will start work under saddle soon and should be bred in 2010.
Enjoy !

I will try to update this website more often but we have a lot of work here currently! However I’ll give you news of our working horses as soon as I can. I’m also so happy with the incredible number of visitors we do have currently and it seems that several of our “babies” should find new homes soon.

Even if I have a lot of work I try to “save” some free time for my family. I recently spent time on the Isle of Re in France and it was just amazing, I wanted to share some pics from there here, no horse but so beautiful and relaxing .

So that’s all Folks for today !
