First off ... I need to make a correction from our last Newsletter. Our new Ranch Manager ... Judi Hullinger worked with leading top Arabian stallion ... "Padron's Psyche" ... not "Magnum Psyche*. (Wow ... even a better resume than I reported !!!) She is just so talented we can't even express how lucky we are to have her. Thank you Judi for becoming not only a part of our team, but the "Head" of our operation. We already know that our clients are in love with you, and greatly depending on you for their success!!

On the home front ... mom is doing just great (thank God) ... and our maiden mare ... Tashah, foaled an absolutely gorgeous filly this year for her new "in utero" owner ... Jane Hunter of California. Ranch Manager, Judi Hullinger, says that this "fancy" kid would suggest that Tashah's permanent, lifetime mate should continue to be *The Source CC. Wow ... 3 years in the waiting, and absolutely worth every minute of it!!! Congratulations go out to Jane Hunter on her gorgeous filly whom she named ... "Anisha El Dine". (Photos below.)

On the "Show Scene" ... even though shows aren't what we do ... we just couldn't resist! We sent our black Al Baraki colt, "Abarakidabra", to the Ultimate Arabian Horse Show ... in Scottsdale, Arizona ... with trainer ... Gary McDonald. Gary, and his beautiful wife "Holly" did a wonderful job with him. "Abe" made the first cut out of over 40 colts, and was a Semi-Finalist at only 10 months old against the best horses in North America ... for which he won a ribbon. However, due to a minor leg injury before the final class .., although he showed ... he was ultimately eliminated from the "big time win". We thank Gary and Holly anyway for their wonderful efforts!!!

We are very much looking forward to a terrific year. We have wonderful new foal photos below .., and a special surprise for the unsuspecting with some of those photos. Regardless of wars and rumors of wars, or our dubious economy, etc ... we know we have a product that retains value worldwide. They are not only insurable, depreciable, and deductible against any other source of income if you treat them as a business, but most importantly ... inspiring to those who may have lost faith, a loved one, or just their aim in life.
