Davinia
fuzzy horses in February!
the Tekes (Darginka & Davinia): and introducing the Thoroughbreds (who are for sale!): Tikka: Jemma Skye: ——————————
training, second sessions!
This is Erin’s second lesson on Darginka, who actually seems to enjoy the work. Darginka wasn’t sure what to do with the jumps at first, but she finally jumped one! And here is Erin playing with Davinia. The yearling really doesn’t seem phased by having someone on her back and just started grazing after Erin [...]
breaking Davinia
Here is Erin breaking Davinia. She didn’t seem to mind much. Rocky stood by and supervised. We had the saddle on Davinia a couple days ago with no reaction so we decided to try mounting her. The idea came from Tatyana who was very surprised that no one had Tekes trained to saddle who were [...]
Davinia, spring 2010
(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px43 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); Davinia is now a yearling and is still all fluffy from being up at 100 Mile. I’m still not sure if she is buckskin or smokey black. Her dark brown winter hair is shedding out and underneath is black. She isn’t grey though. The last couple photos show her reunion with Darginka her [...]
Mud!
The Pineapple Express is blowing through the west coast and we are warm and wet! I have never seen so much mud!! I took Akpay and Davinia’s blankets off to condition them to the cold as they will be going up to the Levermann Ranch past 100 Mile. Davinia is going to run with a [...]
training is well underway!
Akpai is for sale and these last couple weeks a couple people have looked at her. She has the easiest temperament of the mares for riding and is the smoothest with the nicest strides: Pagoda is the surprise for riding. I had given up on her as a sound riding horse after all her sickness [...]
training begins
All the horses are now started under saddle. Akpay is very smooth with great gaits, Pagoda really seems to love being ridden, Darginka isn’t sure she wants to give up control yet and Davinia just loves any attention!

Davinia, day 3
These are photos of Davinia on her 3d day. Davinia means “beloved” in Scottish, so she is named the same as her sire Habib, which is a Persian name meaning “beloved”. She is a big, bold filly with some spunk. We think she is an improvement on her dam and perhaps on her sire as [...]
Darginka’s new baby!
Yea! Darginka has finally delivered a healthy filly (by Habib Shael) Thanks to Brent and Grace (At Bolsin) for the photos!! I will be off to visit them this weekend to see our new baby (function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px11 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); You can see all of her photos on the Flickr photostream About her colour, it is very unlikely [...]
