November 22, 2007   Merry Christmas Rosemary!  Rosemary met her Xmas present, Sammi, a beautiful Missouri Foxtrotter.  Sunny and Sammi came to us as a pair and we wanted to keep it that way.  I was lucky enough to meet Rosemary one day, and we started talking horses.  She just so happened to be looking for  a couple of horses for her and her daughter, Jadon.  I couldn't be happier that Sunny and Sammi have found a "forever" home with these wonderful and loving women.  CONGRATULATIONS, I know you both will enjoy these girls for years to come!		They look like they belong together!
November 22, 2007 Merry Christmas Jadon!  Jadon meets her Xmas present, Sunny, a stunning Missouri Foxtrotter.  Jadon and Sunny spent several hours together, just getting to know each other.  I think it's a match made in heaven!		Jogging partners?

November 16, 2007 All these photos were taken the FIRST DAY the girls were home.  They are truly amazing horses.  For as much as they had been through since October 24th, it's unbelievable that they adjusted so quickly!  Imagine...they left Surry, England on a lorry bound for Amsterdam; flew from Amsterdam to New York, put on to a truck and then taken to Newburgh, New York for three days, then taken by truck to Maryland for 2 weeks, then trucked to our home in South Carolina.  We had hay and grain waiting for them in their stalls in the barn.  They got off Adrian's trailer, went in to their stalls and started eating immediately!

November 15, 2007 Hallelujah, our girls are finally home.  Adrian from ALG Transport delivered them safe and sound to us.  I was very nervous about hiring someone I didn't know or didn't have a referral on, but luck was on our side, and we found one of the best out there.  He got them to us just when he said he would.  He is only 10 miles from Rigbie Farm, so it makes it very convenient for him to get there quickly.  Check out his web site!

October 30, 2007 All the girls are safely at Rigbie Farm in Darlington, Maryland for their 2 week CEM quarantine.  Sharon was wonderful and we would recommend her farm to anyone.  Please check out her web site.	Please click here to visit Sharon at Rigbie Farm.
October 24, 27, 30, 2007  Wow, two thumbs up for Humberto and his crew! Well, I can tell you that importing horses is no easy task, especially if you are like me and must have complete involvement every step of the way!  Anyway, it was a very rough road, but thanks to our American agent, Humberto, at HFR, Int'l Transport, it went like clockwork.  He was professional, honest and caring.  He  picked the girls up from the airport around midnight to load them to go to their USDA quarantine in Newburgh, New York.  I asked him to call me once they were loaded, safe and on their way and he kept his promise and called me around 2AM. He even took a couple of pictures for me!  It takes a lot to impress me, but I can tell you with all honesty that if you are importing your horses or even need East Coast transportation, please talk to Humberto, BEFORE you make a commitment to anyone else.

June 2007 My first meeting with Clononeen Rapsodia when I went to England for the Appleby Fair.  Rapsodia was heavy in foal at the time.  She waited for us to return from Appleby before she brought little Lullaby into the world..             10/2/07   Yippee yahoo!  Today it's official.  Ladies Rapsodia, Aurora, Dora, Delicia and Lullaby will be arriving in New York on October 24th.  Then on to Maryland, to the Rigbie Farm for a 17 day quarantine.  They will be released on November 12, where Frank will be waiting with open arms to finally bring them home to South Carolina.
