At our AHS inspection, Ghlycerine was shown in the Mare Performance Test by her amateur owner. Despite an average jumping ability (2 6's), she received an overall score of 7.11 with 8's for canter and rideability. She has an ET foal coming by Pablo, so hopefully next year she will become an Elite Mare. Congrats to Kris! 

Heartfelt sympathies to Kris Schuler of Fleetwood, PA on the loss of this outstanding mare.

Whasabi got an infection in his shoulder joint, despite having an excellent IgG. I took him immediately to my friends at Mid Atlantic Equine Clinic in Ringoes, NJ. Despite three surgeries to drain and clean out the joint, and despite long term antibiotics and intensive nursing care, it was obvious that he was more and more in pain. I had the joint x rayed one last time. The infection had gone into the bone. He was humanely destroyed at one month old on 6/5. He was a sweetie through the whole thing. It broke my heart, but it was the only thing to do. We miss him terribly. 

This foal was sick from the start with immature lungs and general weakness. I bottle fed him, but he was very critically sick. He survived for 24 hours.

On 9/20, Kristen made the decision to put Phillip down. He had been plagued with the worst hoof abscess any of us had seen. Even with antibiotics and lancing it twice , it continued to make him lame and the swelling around his coronet band was huge. He was in a lot of pain, but still continued to be his playful self, making us laugh every day. It was finally x rayed, where it was revealed to be a coffin bone abscess. There was no other decision to make. We will all miss his funny face and friendly personality. 

Our sympathies to Kristen Zawatski

Heartfelt condolences to owner Gigi Pindar on her recent loss of the yearling filly Ghymnast (Nadia) in a tragic pasture accident. Gigi purchased this promising filly from RSF last year and loved her very much.

Dhanielle developed neurologic problems that was probably due to neck trauma that happened when she was kicked, plus she had gotten lethargic and "not quite right". She was put down on Sept 8th. We will miss her sweet face and her friendly greetings. 

Dhockside- 16.2 hand coming three year old chestnut gelding. He is one of our homebreds out of Beatrix (Bruderherz/Lemon xx) and by Don Frederico. The elegant and impressive Don Frederico became Champion of the 1999 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing. This "eye-catcher" completed his stallion performance test as runner-up with the amazing score of 151.67 points in the dressage section.

July 4, 2005 - Heartfelt condolences from RSF to owner Lyn Francik of Oklahoma City, OK - we just received word from her that Ghospel was euthanized during colic surgery.

Disgeyser was euthanized after x-rays confirmed a diagnosis of wobblers. He was such a sweet boy and will be missed greatly. 

Ghatsby passed away on 8/9/04 from peritonitis after suffering a painful colic when his colon inexplicably burst. He was euthanized on the operating table. 

Another really tough one. One of our best stallion prospects. Donny was euthanized in late May after developing neurological symptoms. Two sets of tests for West Nile and EPM were both negative so we can only assume it was Wobblers although he was not the typical fast-growing, long neck type that it often strikes. 

Ethel (Eisenherz/Smargd/Duft I/Maigraf xx) finally went into labor Thursday at 10:30 pm. It was going WAY too slowly. I determined she was presenting a breech birth (hind feet first) and called Dr Balliet. He and Jim and I tried pulling, but got only the legs out to mid cannon. Baby (by Gold Luck) was dead by now; the rush was on to save Ethel.

2003 Bay filly by Gold Luck. Ghalley broke her femur in a pasture accident. We will miss her sweet face. 

Ghalena was euthanized in February 2004 after being severely injured in a freak stall accident. Condolences to owner Dana Wirth on a hard decision. Best wishes and good luck with her new horse Ghravity - also a RSF filly.

Unfortunately, 2003 started off on a sad note for us, as we lost the lovely four-year-old Gold Luck daughter, Ghin and Tonic, to cancer just after New Year's. 

Robert was badly injured in a pasture accident at the end of September, and was euthanized a few weeks later when it became apparent that he would not recover. He was one of our best stallion prospects, and the son of our foundation mare, Adelblume, who also passed away this year. 

Sadly we received word in early February 2002 from Louise Rascoe that Rolling Stone Farm's foundation mare, Roseanna (real name Adelblume) died from a twisted small intestine (at least they think). I cried all day. She went without suffering and was surrounded by loving people. 

Glissando exemplified her sire's movement, conformation and presence. 

Ghulliver was humanely destroyed after symptoms of Wobblers increased. The best they can determine, the injury was a result of a trailering accident where he was thrown forward and had hit the window in the front of the trailer. We are so sad to hear this about such a special horse. Our condolences to his owner, Bob and to his trainer, Jennifer. 

SOLD! Congratulations to Robert Askew

This baby was just not right from the beginning. His birth was normal, but he was very slow to stand and nurse, and was lethargic. He had a suck and could stand, and did nurse, so I ruled out Dummy foal symdrome. He diodn't have a fever. But my gut instinct said he was just not right. He died after 24 hours with out peeing or pooping. Perhaps something was wrong internally... He crashed fast, and didn't seem to suffer. Poor baby. Whichcraft took it well. She never really bonded with him. She was super maiden mom, though, and did everything she could to make it easy for this weak foal to nurse.

Unfortunately, Lhollipop was humanely destroyed after a severe hock infection and a colitis from the strong antibiotics she was given.

"Rocky" is a 16.1 hand bay gelding with a blaze (beautiful head!) and 4 white socks. Looks to have a HUGE stride. Very handsome. Full siblings have shown promise under saddle and have had much success in the breed shows. A Rolling Stone Farm homebred, he is by Gold Luck out of Elite Mare Whitney Q.
