	The Year 2010

August 20th, 2010 Update!! Ember gave birth to eleven (!!) healthy and beautiful puppies over a 24 hour period. The final count is six girls and five boys! Of course Marti Nottingham of Nottingham Shilohs has given them cheese names....

Boys - Asiago,Colby, Blue, Muenster, and Gouda Girls - Brie, Babybel, Swiss, Feta, Cheddar, and Ricotta


	June 2010 - Stall Europa is happy to announce that a mating has taken place between Elvis and Ember, with puppies expected towards the end of August! Last year’s litter out of Ember and by the Elvis son Quinn was such a success that Marti of Nottingham Shilohs decided to use the Dad this time. Keep your fingers crossed for healthy puppies.

May 2010 - He’s here!! The son of Bardot S. E. and Sir Donnerhall arrived at 12:15 a.m. on May 19th and it couldn’t have been any more textbook. Bardot is the perfect mom - initially curious about what had happened, then falling in love with her son, and now so proud of herself and what she has produced! We have decided to name the little guy Flash Gordon S. E. once he’s a little bigger - in the meantime he’ll be known as Baby Flash! :-) I promise to post lots of pictures of him because there are a whole lot of people that want to see how he develops..... Let’s start with days 1 and 2.......

Here he is - one day old and already quite the little man! Chestnut with four whites - two high and two low diagonals - plus a very unusual stripe on his face. A good friend of mine, Nancy Barnes suggested the name “Forgot my Star” and I almost went for it..... :-)


	..... and here’s Baby Flash a day later... All legs and ready to check out the world! I couldn’t be any happier with him so far and hope that his movement will be as nice as his conformation. Keep your fingers crossed!

April 2010 - Some time this month it looks like we’ll be breeding Elvis to Quinn’s wife from last year, the lovely Ember. Even though my husband has already threatened to move out if we get another dog, I think I will just have to have one more Elvis son. The litter from last year was spectacular to say the least, and so Marti Nottingham thought we might even improve on that by breeding Ember to Quinn’s sire, and that would be the lucky Elvis!

March 2010 - time to go to Wellington, FL to attend the Annual Meeting of the KWPN-NA, and while I was at it I also decided to stop by my good friend Nancy Barnes-Wachendorf’s place in Loxahatchee, FL. Nancy and her husband Robert have a charming 5-acre farm right next to White Fences where they spend the winter months with some of their horses. What’s even better is that some of these horses were bred by Stall Europa and there was my excuse for turning this into a week-long vacation! Here are the pictures.......


Beckett S. E. by Rhodium and out of my Contango/Doruto mare. This youngster has an incredible canter and is ready for 1st level.

	Cosmo S. E. by Sir Donnerhall and out of my Preferent mare Natuur (Wanroij x Oran). He still has a ton of growing to do but it’s hard to take a picture of him where all four feet are not off the ground!

		Saturday afternoon was spent at Michael Barisone’s place where we watched him ride Nancy Barnes’ horse Taz by Jazz and out of an Able Albert xx mare. Taz is schooling all Grand Prix movements and is for sale... Next up was Liz Austin and her wonderful Grand Prix stallion Olivier by Idocus. This pair recently placed 100th in the WBSHF listings - so congratulations!!
