I.F. Aragorn
foaled May 9th 2003
IWSR reg# 000017FA
sire: Gallahad du Luc
dam: O.A. Malaika
The day he was born he was dubbed
'Strider'. He had such long legs he
reminded Chuck of creatures by that
name in the Jim Henson movie, the Dark
Crystal. The name stuck and when it came
time to register him it seemed only
natural to make his 'official' name
Aragorn.
Though originally we had intended to
sell Strider, I knew that idea was gone
when I came out one evening and found
Chuck sitting in the stall and Strider
asleep with his head in Chuck's lap.
I really do not know who chose who, but
the two of them were meant to be a pair.
Strider has turned out to be an amazing
show horse. He loves performing
and is the perfect knights charger. Put
him in front of a crowd and his neck
arches and he just struts..every inch of
him says..look at me ..yeah ...I'm
gorgeous..We completely love this guy. I
will always be happy Chuck insisted he
stay.

I.F. Nostradamus
foaled April 25th 2004
IALHA reg# 8178(S)
sire: Fogoso H dam:
Bonaparte IR
Nostradamus was originally sold as a weanling,
and when he became available for sale 4 years
later we brought him back home to the farm. His
first year back involved arena work and
peaceful trail rides in the woods. However it
did not take long for him to show us he was
every bit the showman Strider was.
He
started his performance career with Chuck doing
rings and passes at home; his attitude from the
start was “this is nothing…when do we joust!”
In 2010 under his barn name ‘Dante’ he started
performing with the Seattle Knights and did
wonderfully. Then in 2011 he teamed up with
Carlin Kennedy as his rider and the two of them
have been amazing crowds ever since. Although
he is a ball of fire when performing with
Carlin down the lists, he is still just our
Dante outside the joust.
He
has become our “go to” horse if we want a
steady performer..he has performed in a Mini
Cooper commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvleQRaDqeg,
Highlander Dark Beginnings, and First
Ranger of the King.
Best
of all…he is still a rock solid trail horse for
those quiet rides in the woods.
