The farm of
Jennette and Mara Coote is located one hour north of Calgary and
thirty minutes from the eastern slopes of the Rocky
Mountains.
Since 1976 we have been raising Winning,
Athletic, Sound Horses with Good Temperaments for the OLYMPIC
disciplines for the Junior and Amateur market.
We run a
Stallion Station, foal nursery, and pasture boarding, training and
a lesson facility all in Ranch Style Management.
Fall 2011:
Whirlwind has
gone to Omaha Nebraska to play in hunter derby land. He is competing
with Dannee Reisler Chartwell (a former working student) in the
saddle for the fall, winter and early spring season. The present
plans are he will come back to Canada in the late spring and resume
his stallion duties. Changes in the 2011 breeding contract ( TBA)
The
2011 CWHBA fall classic sale is now behind us. Although the prices
in general were disappointing our entry MJ Salsa a 2 year old
Whirlwind / MJ Last Dance/Fantast filly sold very well (2nd highest
price of the sale) The filly was wonderful all weekend long and
showed her FEI movement quality every time out. We are so pleased
that the Church family bought her. Thier daughter is a rising
dressage star located in Missouri and Salsa will have the best
riding and training to take her to the top in the dressage competition
ring. MJ Waves has gone to a delightful young junior in the Calgary
area for a future in the hunter jumper disciplines. This young
lady has been out twice to the farm and her mother told us has
almost worn out the web page she has visited so much. MJ Donna
Carron sold before the sale to a very good junior rider Jennette
has been coaching. The bond is getting stronger and this hunter
jumper combo will be in the show ring next year.
MJ Billy Holiday ( half sister to MJ Last Dance Salsa's Dam) is
going to Tanya as a broodmare in her mare herd. A text from Dannee
-- Whirlwind jogged out 1st and 2nd in hunter classes down south.
A good news week.
Spring
2011 --It is a colt year. 3 very nice
Whirlwind sons.
Whirlwind
