Thanks a lot everyone <3 I feel really touched, haha ;D We wished we could go on a honeymoon, but sadly the relocation to Shoreline Heights requires our (read: mine, lol) presence here. did you have already plans for children? I love babys And this ones must be very handsome We'd sure love to! A whole bunch of them, hihi But that'll have to wait a while... So yeah, our Shoreline Heights project is making progress! The dressage arenas, as well as a small race track (just for practice, not for actual races) are done: Also, I'm revamping and updating my website at the moment. Today I started with the staff section, which will need some serious refurbishment in the future We will hire A LOT of new stable hands and may even employ some interns! The first pictures for this section are already done: ;D

I am proud to announce that our relocation to Shoreline Heights has been completed successfully Why did it take so long? Halfway through I sort of... cancelled all the plans and prepared a new style and layout for the individual lots. Now we finally have a new home for our Hanoverians and Bavarian Warmbloods ;D The overview: The main barn: The stallion barn: The mare & foal barn Large paddock: The cross country course: The show jumping stadium: A hay storage ;D More to the right is another paddock: CDC Kaya and GHS Just Tonks are doing well after the stress of the last days Khan, aka WEC/GHS Ante Bellum, still needs a little bit of time to settle down, but he's gonna be fine I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I'm looking forward to showing you more in future updates <3

Awww thanks girls You are too sweet! It feels good to hear that my absence didn't go unnoticed. It's good to be back! ;D As you may (or may not) know, I participated for Team Germany in the Illusion Team Championship with WEC/GHS Ante Bellum And the results were truly overwhelming! We placed 2nd in show jumping as a Team (with Carly & Sarah ) and 3rd as individuals! In the end Team Germany just missed out on the Top 3, placing 4th and Emma & Ante Bellum ranking 5th among the individual riders <3 So much awesome in one day is unreal, I`m still grinning all over my face thinking about it A small recap, these were our entries: DressageCross CountryShow Jumping

Happy New Year everyone! I hope y'all had a good start Before I'll break the great news to you, let's have a small recap of what happened recently: December has been unusually warm in Shoreline Heights. I mean yes, it was cold, but thanks to the consistent wind from the seaside it didn't really have the chance to freeze, or even to snow. That is good, on the one hand, on the other, it sortoff spoiled a white Christmas for us... Oh well! Anyways, since it was reasonably warm, me and Merle still took the opportunity to take Kaya and Thillie out for a ride on the beach a while back. "Shall we have a race?" Merle at some point suggested. And what a bad cousin would I be to refuse? ;D So yeah, I won. However, Merle forced me to point out that I had the natural advantage in this challenge, since Kaya is in training, while Thillie has been retired from active competing a while ago. I hope she's happy with me for emphasizing this "Who's a gooooood girl?!" Anyways, as pointed out in the headline, there's great news from us... I hope! ;D For the first time in a while, Grafenhof is releasing a small Hanoverian Foal Crop. The expected date for them to be adopted by new homes should be around Mid January, but I thought I'd release a small teaser of the first foals that have been born already Our first little fellow has been around for a few (Sim)-weeks already. He is the first foal by REC Summer Sundance, fathered by GHS Vertical Horizon: A lovely colt that goes by the name GHS StarstruckAnother foal has been born more recently, still all wobbly on her little feet. She is an adorably filly by ILA Sonatina and GHS Vertical Horizon: GHS Blue Orchid And just like a real girl, she enjoys being groomed and spoiled by her dam all day ;D Admittedly, I exaggerated a little when I said she was still "all wobbly", as she's able of keeping up with Starstruck reasonably well. Since their Mom's get along very well with each other, we dared to let them out on the paddock all together. With success, I may add! <3 "Hey, who are what are you? Can I eat you?" "You first have to catch me!" As you see, our stable is filled with life again, as these two already proved that they are very capable of keeping our stablehands busy
