At the AHS meeting, we received 5 more Elite Mare plaques, and 2 more EMC certificates. In total, we now have 12 Elite Mares, 10 of which were presented by RSF and most of which took and passed their MPT’s as green broke 3-year-olds.
Ghamma Ray
Ghamma Rayalso received the Benchmark award this year, tying for the highest free jumping score for the nation (9 and 9) for the 2005 mare performance tests.
We were honored to pick up All Breeds Awards for our clients with successful show horses bred by RSF- second for Nancy Lewis Stanton’s Ghlenlivet for USDF at second level, fourth for Kathleen Cronk’s Ghambade(aka Ghroucho) for training level and third for Kris Schuler’s Ghlycerine in the young fillies division of the Sporthorse breeding awards. Thanks to our friends for this honor!
A RSF homebred (Ghamma Ray) is ranked fourth highest of those mares qualifying for the Walter Hartwig award. This award is given for North American bred and born young mares which achieve the highest combined scores on their studbook inspection and Mare Performance Test (MPT), both taken as a three- or four-year-old. RSF horses have made the list ever since its inception four years ago (we won the inaugural year with EM Dew Berry). Another mare by Gold Luck, Gaudenzia is right behind Ghamma Ray in fifth place.
