EXCITING NEWS !!!

Titulus' FIRST 2009 baby has arrived and it's a GIRL!

The proud owner tells us her beautiful filly was born at 12:50 am Sunday morning on March 15th. The mare had been teasing them for the last week that she wanted to go into labor, everything went very smoothly - her delivery was perfect. They named her Stella! The filly is black with two white hind socks and a star and she looks like such a little girl - longest eyelashes and thick tail. Needless to say, the owner is relieved and happy now Stella has arrived.

Congradulations Staci and Faluka!

.....and now we are going to let Stella's daddy Titulus in on the great news!

Stay tuned for the new Titulus arrivals.....

* * * * * Good news for TITULUS son Syrius * * * * *

Syrius by Titulus out of Slightly Cinnamon xx, a great example of the Trakehner/Thoroughbred cross! His owner/breeder Lori Whitley is very proud of her young colt Syrius which makes us very happy too.

Lori trailered Syrius and his Dam all the way from Oregon to the 2008 American Trakehner Association Annual Meeting in CALIFORNIA last November. What a long trek for such a young foal! Both were presented for the 2008 Mare & Young Horse Show, judged by Hilda Gurney.

Small Biography on Hilda Gurney; Prior to winning her Olympic medal in 1976, Hilda Gurney had finished second in the individual dressage and won a gold medal in the team event at the 1975 Pan-American Games. After graduating from Cal State (Northridge) in 1966, Miss Gurney became a teacher of educationally handicapped children. For those of you here in Quebec, Hilda Gurney was one of the judges at one of our yearly "Concours CDI Dressage International de Blainville".

Hilda Gurney gave Syrius an impressive score of 75.3%, placing him first in the Colts & Geldings of 2008 class. Lori tells us that Hilda really liked Syrius, commenting that he will make for a great future Sport Horse! Yeah Baby! : )

Lori's good fortune did not end there.....

Syrius' Dam Slytely Cinnamon was also entered for judging in the PSB, Anglo-Trakehner, Arab-Trakehner, Thoroughbred and Arabian Mare class.

Slytely Cinnamon (Cinnamon) has an interesting resume; a 1990 Jockey Club Mare, approved Holsteiner as well as Oldenburg/ISR and American Trakehner as well. She is a stakes winning mare off the track and has also been consistently jumped over 4' 3" fences with a rider and has free jumped 4'9" fences. She stands 16.2H and is an excellent producer, throwing nice temperaments and great conformation.

This retired performer and now proven broodmare placed 2nd with a score given by Hilda Gurney of 75.25%! BRAVO!

ATA's Chief Inspector Sam Eidt DVM was appointed to do the evaluations for the Mare Inspection, Lori's mare Persnickety by Feuertanzer scored a very impressive 52 points!

CONGRADULATIONS LORI WHITLEY!
