Hi Judy, Sylvia had her foal this morning. He is the sweetest baby ever. She is such a very very good mom. Most babies have had in the past had been so scared of people at first. Not this one. He is like a puppy. He follows me around the stall. I take 2 steps he takes 2 steps. I was actually cuddling with him when he was sleeping. I am so very happy. I am glad he is a boy. Attached are some photos which are kind of dark. I will get some more soon of them outside. Thank you thank you thank you Judy. Oh and tell Raven thank you I think he will be hopefully seeing Sylvia in the spring I will love to do a breed back. Thanks Jodi
UPDATE: Merlin is 3 years old and Sept 15th 2007 Jodi took him to the Friesian Sport Horse inspections. this is the result:

Sorry it has been so long since I have emailed, but I have been sick and very busy! Feeling much better now and had to get a word out to you about Sam. He is wonderful. We have most of his baby coat shed off and he is fabulous! It's hard to say what is most stunning about him. Such a great mind, movement to die for, or his rich dark color! We could not be happier with him, and my husband has chosen him as his life horse. They have such an amazing connection that no other horse has had with him. We look forward to taking him to inspections next year. Signed Kim Shogren
I am thrilled, thanks again so much. Any time some one would like a reference or to talk to some one who's already used Raven, I'd be happy to give a glowing review, signed Amanda
Judy,
Just thought I'd let you know that I measured Dreamer today (she is growing so fast!) and she is 14.3 1/2. Not even 15 months old quite yet!! My vet thinks she'll top out well over 16 hands. He also commented that she inherited the Friesian bone. Good boy Raven!! Dreamer grows even more beautiful with every passing day and she is oh so sweet. And smart too!! She is so easy to work with - brilliantly intelligent, and very un-spooky. She already knows how to bow - that took about three minutes. Literally. Had a pocket full of treats and thought, what the heck! She is so settled and mature, but with spirit and fire. She is already mentally mature enough to be started under saddle, just have to wait for the body to catch up. That's OK, we have lots of time to play and continue our friendship and partnership.

This is CHANCE with Julie his happy owner. He is 2 years old in the picture.
Julie bought Chance as a weanling and has
done all the training on him. She is now riding him. Chance is by Raven out
of a breeding stock paint mare.
Judy-
Our first Raven baby for the year was born on Easter morning, talk about the best Easter basket ever! Helen had a gorgeous black filly, all legs. I’ll send some pictures later one but we couldn’t be happier. Mom and baby are doing great, Helen really surprised me because motherhood has calmed her down. She’s turned into the best, most laid back Mom…definitely an improvement on her slightly neurotic coming off the track personality.
Thanks so much for another wonderful foal!

Judy,
I was looking over Ravens website and saw the foal photo album, here are some of
Salsa's pictures taken when she was about 7 1/2 months old. I'm in love with
her! She's almost 14 hands, and I've never seen her upset about anything (even
when we weaned her- we just put the halter and lead rope on her and led her up
the driveway to another pasture, no big deal) Raven has definitely passed on his
disposition (thankfully)!

I just wanted to let you guys know that Abel is doing great. He has such a great personality. He is in a stall next to our stud Quarter horse and they have made great friends (for now). We turn them out in the fields to play and they are in opposite fields so it is really cute to watch them run along the fence and play with each other. My 14 year old daughter has great plans for him in the future, she is the one that loves to ride. My 20 year old daughter thinks that he is the greatest, she is the lover in the family. My husband plays with him in the stall all the time and I just think that he is beautiful. I just love to watch him run and play and be a horse. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that he is doing really well and he has been a prefect match for our family. I hope that you guys have a great Christmas! Robin
Hi Judy,
This is Melissa and Pat Cummins, These pictures aren't the greatest, (it was cold that day and I was shivering so the pictures are blurry) But I thought I would pass these on to you. Leo gets more handsome by the day. He string tested 17hh+. Vet remarked that Leo had the straightest legs she had ever seen on a foal. At eight months is picking up his feet by voice command and will back up by voice command as well...smart boy! I do see him pace but he seems to prefer the fox trot, though when he's feeling frisky he does indeed pick up those knees and prance around like a king. He jumps like a real champ...over just about everything including the fence. (Five foot) Movement is extremely uphill, back is short, and he's all leg. His temperament is Fabio meets Sponge Bob Square pants...happy all the time but a big show off when he knows your watching. We will let you know how his inspection goes at Buffalo Mills this year. We're very excited!! Regards,
Melissa and Patrick Cummins of Uniontown PA.
Hi, a while ago I was going to purchase a mare you had , but I ended up in financial hardship.. You where honest and understanding and did something I never would have thought possible - you returned my money!. In the horse world THAT kind of honesty is a Rarity. And again, I Thank you. I have told that story to a few others how you where kind and honest - I do value that! Thank you- Jacquie Skadeland
Hi! Just wanted to send you an updated picture of Abel. He's doing great. He's very intelligent and willing to learn, he's picked up very quickly on everything. He's doing great in the round pen and his ground manners are already excellent. Jeff Watson
Hi Judy, I just wanted to tell you that we named Moner's filly Astrid and she is wonderful. Beth Finney
Hi Judy Merlin went to his 1st dressage show today. I still couldn't be happier. He is only 3 1/2 years old and was under perfect behavior. I am sure he was the youngest horse at the show and He is only getting light training 3-4x per week. He ended up getting a 1st place and two second places in the 3 tests he did. He scored 65% at his 1st show. I was very happy. He is such a good boy and loved people watching him and loved seeing all these new horses. I was just informed Merlin got grand champion of his division. I am so excited. He is only 3 and has won me 2 grand champion ribbons. What a future ahead of us. Thanks JodiDon Kummer from Canton, IL bred his Saddlebred mare, Charming Robin, to Raven in 2005 the foal named Buddy at 2 years old is fantastic. Don called to tell me Buddy floats across the field. He is the most sensible 2 year old he has ever worked with and he wouldn't be afraid to put his grandchild on him even at his young age. Don made the comment that if people knew what kind of horses Raven was throwing there would be NO other breeds, just Friesian sport horses as they are not just beautiful but athletic and sensible.
Hi Judy, I wanted to write and tell you thank you so much for showing us Raven and your beautiful babies. Raven is even better than his pictures. We were impressed with your horses and your horsemeister business. We want to book Arianna for the third week of July. I didn't tell you when we were there but before contacting you we emailed and called a couple of other Friesian stallion owners and you were by far the most patient with us. Sincerely, J. Staub
Hi:
3 years ago I bought one of Raven's colts. Thought that you might like to see
what he looks like as a 3 yr old. We call him Buzz because he's such an
in-your-pocket kind of guy we were always telling him to 'buzz off' and he
thought that was his name! He stands 16 hh and turned 3 in May. Should top out
at approx. 16.1 - 16.2 hh.
As you can see he has retained his gentle nature and is probably the only
stallion that I would trust around my babies and children. Thanks for selling
him to us!
Sincerely,
Susan Muszynski

I can not believe Arial is a year old already. She is so precious. She loads, stands for the farrier and does anything I ask her to do. Kristy Stalker

HI, I wanted to tell you that Raven is absolutely gorgeous. We bought a filly
from Ann in Idaho & Raven is her sire. Storm as we call her, is often mistaken
as a full friesian & we give total credit to Raven. Storm has a very sweet, easy
going attitude & in spite of us being total novices she has excelled at anything
she has been given to do. She is actually my son, Greg's horse. He is 30 & this
is his first horse & he feels extremely lucky to have such a smart girl. We did
buy another horse to keep her company but Storm is the only horse anyone see's
when looking into the pasture. Raven throws himself & Storm is proof of that.
Just wanted to let you know. Debbi Gardiner
