Sea Accounts

Today is a s**t day. It is the anniversary of day I lost Cy. Three years ago. In a matter of minutes, a freak accident, the gut wrenching realization that he wasn't going to get and laying beside him til he was gone. I swear somedays it still feels like yesterday. I am blessed to have a couple of special sons and some daughters to carry on. But there will never be another Cy.

It's been interesting the last few weeks. I have frozen, that I haven't ever really marketed. Mainly because it has only been use a few times and I know a couple of mares didn't settle. But I have had 3 people...2 with Cybabies, reach out and ask about frozen. And they told me I should be marketing it. So, for the Cy lovers out there, there is some frozen available. Not a ton, but some. Reach out if you are interested.

Go hug your horses. You never know if it will be the last.

Did you know that today is "Bucketlist Day?" What are your bucketlist trips? My top three are 1. Antarctica, 2. Galapagos 3. African safari. Ready, set, go!!!!!

Please read this article.
I personally know Ellen and Stormy (Ellen a lot better than Stormy) and Ellen was riding Cyriz when the incident happened and I witnessed a lot of what happened.

A couple of thoughts/lessons I'd love people to get from this. 1. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. So many times, things happen and we let it slide because "it's easier to let it go" and because it's hard to fight...especially on social media. Ellen has to clear her name and get the truth out for 7 years. She has been professional and has not engaged in the mudslinging the others did. Ellen was persecuted and judged on COTH from people who had no personal knowledge of herr or the situation...they just piled on to the party. Which leads to the 2nd thing...it's really easy to post stuff on social media and to join in when someone posts something negative about someone. Be careful what you post, learn to sit on your hands sometimes until the urge to type passes. Know that you CAN be held legally responsible for what you post if you don't have proof. There was a stallion owner a number of years ago who posted something about a dog trainer, he sued, won, she ended up getting out of horses. Fast forward about 2 yrs and the guy was convinced of the very kind of abuse she had posted about.

It is my most sincere hope that Ellen is able to recover some of income she lost over this and that she is able to put this all behind her.

The horse wars of Stormy Daniels Stormy Daniels is involved in a multimillion-dollar court battle and ensnared some of the top officials in the rarefied world of competitive English riding.

I have spent almost 3 weeks trying to figure out how to post this, but there is just no easy way and no way to do him the honor he deserves. So, with the heaviest of hearts, Sea Accounts, better known as Cyriz or Cy to the thousands who loved him, died expectedly on November 17, 2022. We had celebrated 20 yrs of my servitude to him in October. There is so much I want to say and share and hopefully in the days and weeks ago, I will find a way to do so. To say Chris and I are heartbroken is a gross understatement. But we have some comfort in that we were both there at the end, it was a freak accident that took him quickly and I believe with little pain. For those things, I am thankful beyond words, but God, it was years before I was ready.

To those who I have seen or talked to in the last 19 days, please forgive me for not telling you. This has been a hurt so deep that I just couldn't and as of this post, only 3 people outside of my parents knew (and them only last week).

For now, if you have a Cybaby, give them some extra love and if they seem just a little bit "more" than usual, know that they have a guardian angel looking over them now and sharing his spirit with them. I have witnessed this personally in the offspring I have.

I literally have thousands of pics and probably that many hours of video of him over 20 yrs. and so many people to thank for their parts in our journey, but for now I post the first pic of us together...the day that the most incredible wedding present, a 3 y,o. black OTTB stallion, son of a Kentucky Derby and with a slab fracture in his right arrived in our lives. Little did we know the incredible journey we were embarking on.

I have a group of super Cybabies and a couple of grandbabies available! They are 4-7 y.o., Westfalen, GOV and TBs. Some are started, and some aren't. This is CC or Sylouette. She is 6, 16.2 and started the first of July. She's currently with a hunter trainer, but could easily go any direction. She is the full sister to Synsation who is the dam of the West. and GOV approved stallion, Cabulous, who I bred.

Sylhouette - first off property school

Cabulous DSH did his first hunter class today (at an "A" show!) and was Reserve Champion out of 24 in the 2'6"! Such a good boy!

There's video, but can't seem to share it.

I am such a proud mama tonight. Cabulous DSH and Macy White successfully completed the East Coast 2021 NA Stallion Sport Test in the Jumper Division with an overall impression score of 8!! I send "Eddie" to Anne Hedge and Macy in March to be started and sold. He had never left the farm and hadn't been handled as much as I would have liked. He was supposed to be gelded the following week. Obviously, that appt was cancelled!!! Anne and Macy fell in love and bought him. Macy is a very accomplished Junior rider (she rode at Harrisburg last week!) and she has done all his training. Unlike most stallions going through the testing, he has not yet been shown and has only hung out at a couple. What the two of them have accomplished in less than 6 months is nothing short of incredible and has the makings of a fairy tale! What a testament to his amazing temperament and athleticism and her talent and dedication. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for them and what he produces.
