A sister for brothers Bovaire and Cordeiro

June 24th welcomed a new filly to our farm.  Gigi is a full sister to Bovaire and Cordeiro, and has the same splash of colour and long legs as Cordeiro.  This will be our last foal from our mare Nikita (Voltaire x Nurzeus), who will be able to enjoy a happy retirement once this fillyl is weaned.

Fantastic finish for Cordeiro at RAWF!!!!

It was a fabulous day for Sentinel Hill Farm's Cordeiro and trainer Vivian Millard, with a 3rd place finish in the coveted Lieutenant Governor's Cup (under saddle) class, and an 8th place finish in the Governor General's Cup (in-hand) class.

It's a girl!!!!

We are happy to announce the arrival of Emma, the first filly to be born from our Voltaire x Nurzeus mare, Jimarilla.

Jimarilla comes from a distinguished damline, which has produced many approved stallions and upper level sport horses both in Europe and in North America. After producing four colts in a row, we are thrilled to finally have a filly to carry on this wonderful damline in our breeding program.

Emma's sire is VDL Windsor H, who has stamped this filly with his beautiful, refined exterior and wonderful temperament.
