2024:
June:
Had an awesome time at YHS, as usual! Always such a fun show. We only brought two of our kids, but they did us proud and were super well behaved! Conjuring FLS (Carrasca Z x Calgary GNZ) came away with two 3rds (7.9 in-hand/at liberty, 7.79 in jump chute). Uprising FLS (Utopie x Indoctro) was 2nd in jump chute (score of 7.84) and 7th in-hand/at liberty (score of 7.73)!
September:
Fox Lair presented five mares to Westfalen NA this year. All of them scored at or above a 7. Both Chapeaulora Z (Catoki x Chin Chin) and Alcyone Z (Aganix x Cornet Obolensky) were awarded Premium mare, with Chapeaulora Z winning Site Champion Mare with an overall 7.7!
Next up was the foals, with Fox Lair presenting four. Illusion FLS (I’m Special de Muze), Twisted T FLS (Taloubet Z x Kannan), and Gin N Sin FLS (Grandorado TN x Con Sherry) all earned respectable scores between 7.4-7.8. Up In Smoke FLS (Untouchable x Kannan) was named Premium foal and Site Champion Filly/ Site Champion Jumper Foal with an overall 8! Overall it was a fantastic day with great food and good friends!
July:
Had a super busy weekend at YHS! We presented six young horses this weekend and all of them showed very well.
Saturday started off with Alcyone Z (Aganix x Cornet Obolensky), ridden in the 3yo flat class by Brooke Skodzinski. Together they won the class with a 7.83! Next up was Valaena FLS (Vindication x Federalist), ridden in the 5yo flat class by Brandi Smith. They earned a score of 7.85 and placed 2nd!
​
The next day were the in-hand and jump chute classes. Sweet Dreams FLS (Spot Cash x Captain Fire) was presented in a super tough yearling class (separating all of the qualifying horses by only .35). She came away with a score of 7.72! Coscada Hemo Z (Comme il Faut x Tangelo), Caravaggio Optimus Z (Cumano x Kashmir), and Extra Olympia Z (Emerald x Ogano Sitte) all showed in a large 2yo class. Coscada won in-hand (score 7.93) and took second in jump chute (score 8.11)! Caravaggio was close behind in-hand, earning 4th (score 7.83), and 7th in jump chute (score 7.8). Olympia tied for 5th in-hand (score 7.78) and placed 4th in jump chute (score 8)! Super proud of all of our kids!
November:
For the third year in a row, Fox Lair attended YHS Finals at Tryon. Extra Olympia RV Z FLP and Coscada Hemo Z FLP got to strut their stuff first. They were so well behaved and handled everything like pros - we couldn’t have asked for more from them! Out of a stellar group of 2yos, Coscada earned 2nd in jump chute with a score of 17.41 and 7th in hand/at liberty! Extra Olympia came away 5th (17.10) in jump chute and 6th in hand/at liberty!
​
Alcyone Z (Sia) was also awesome in a large and competitive group of 3yos! A lot of quality in the entire group. Super proud of Sia for holding her own and coming away 4th (with a 17.49 jump chute) and 6th (17.38 in hand/at liberty)! She also competed earlier this week in the 3yo flat class and placed 7th with an overall 16.47.
Very proud that Fox Lair came away with top 10 placings in every class! It was tough competition!

August:
Another successful Westfalen inspection in the books! Today we presented a total of 12 foals and two mares so a total of 25 horses bathed/braided! It was an undertaking but it got done.
​
We presented one mare, Ussara JX, who was easily accepted into the Main Mare Book. Four of our foals received Premium - Cabaret FLS (Chacco Blue x Kannan), Sweet Dreams FLS (Spot Cash x Captain Fire), Cool Blue FLS (Clinton’s Heart x Cayetano), and Jaded FLS (Jaguar van Paemel x Ustinov)! All other foals received scores of no less than 7.5. Jaded FLS was top filly with an overall 8.2 and Cool Blue FLS was top colt, also with an 8.2! Thrilled with the results and how well the day went. Couldn’t do it without such an awesome team! The Fox Lair team is the best!
November:
Fox Lair traveled down to TIEC once again this year for YHS Finals. We brought along three of our two year olds and all of them not only handled the atmosphere super well but also came away with awesome results! The class of two year olds had a total of 32 entries!
​
Quasar Blue FLS (Quidam Blue x Balou du Rouet) won 1st in the In-hand class while Alcyone Z (Aganix x Cornet Obolensky) placed just behind in 2nd! Chades of Devil Z (Chacco Blue x Nabab de Reve) respectively ended 16th. We are super proud of all of them!
​
We also had incredible results for the top rankings for the end of year rankings. Not only did Fox Lair come first in the USSHBA breeders rankings, but we also bred the top hunter for the year (Countes du Rouet) AND own the top 1-3 jumpers as well as bred the 5th top jumper (Quasar Blue FLS)! What a super successful year for Fox Lair and such a bright future with these young horses!
