Hi Dallas nice to see more people joining the group, we all have to give Angie Taylor for starting it. Maybe these numbers can increase as all of us let others know about it.

Greetings everyone! I breed NFP's in Alberta. We have Manoravon Master Majestic, a stallion bred by Lynda & David Davies. And we are awaiting the arrival of our new stallion, Fox Hollow Holly's Legacy from June Cleave. We have 4 purebred mares and a few crossbred youngsters, the crossbreds are for sale. They can be seen on our website : www.ptfponypower.com
I look forward to meeting some of you here!!
Dallas

Finally rode last night. Re-backed Finnegan and backed Rocky for the first time. Such amazing ponies - neither made any fussy.

Finnegan was walk-trotting last year, so we will be going gangbusters soon. Rocky we will just take one step at a time and progress according to his learning curve. Both are Diablo geldings and love the attention that comes with working.

Keep in mind I haven't ridden since mid-October when I got home from the North American Endurance Championships. It's been a well deserved break but yesterday FELT like spring with the weather as warm as it was.

Love the jumping shot of Encore! He's got some real talent.

Lynda - was I around when Adanac was at the farm? I can't seem to place him. You might have to show me a baby photo of him to twig my memory.

Depends on the English saddle how much "bulk" is under your leg. I find that my Western saddles have much more bulk than any of my hunt saddles.

Diane: You might remember our boy when he was at Manoravon. He was called Windsor then.
Manoravonmasterencore: Nice shot of Encore over the fence.
Lynda: now I'm jealous! I know you have a baby shot of Thomas aka Windsor when he was first born. Mind sending me a copy of it????

I was thinking of a treeless saddle because Thomas is nearly mutton withered. We have been riding him in a synthetic western as well as a barrel saddle with a non slip pad but it isn't working that well and I worry about him getting sore. I don't mind trying an English saddle on him but don't want a lot of bulk between my legs and him. What kind of Wintec are you using?

this is a picture of Encore and I in our last jumping lesson.
He's starting to enjoy jumping :)

Joanne-
I have a Wintec for Encore,
he keeps losing weight and muscling up!
They're really comfortable and easy.
you just use water and soap to clean them!
Diana-
That's so cool that you knew Encore.
Mrs. Lynda just sent me adorable pictures of Encore as a tiny baby.
By the way-
I give you props on Addy's name, Mrs. Lynda.
Canada spelled backwards, that's so clever!

I'm thinking of getting a treeless saddle for Thomas as he is near impossible to fit with anything else. Anyone out there using one?

Manoravonmasterencore - I've been in and out of Manoravon for years. I knew the owners back in the olden days when we all showed Arabians together. I live in the same town and they have a coverall whereas my parents don't have an arena so no winter riding there.

I remember Encore as a foal until he was sold. I don't think I knew Adanac but then he could have had a different name or unnamed as a foal.
