Christiane Noelting Dressage Center hosted a wonderful AHS Inspection. What a super group of foals!!! Always wonderful to have AHS judge Sandy Hunt on site. She shares with the owners and spectators evaluations of each horse that is educational and supportive. 5 high quality foals were presented and 1 super futurity 2 yo. At the end of the inspection we were treated to an impromptu showing of Velantis N, Christiane Noelting's superstar Hanoverian stallion. A fun time was had by all. Enjoy the highlights! Each photo will contain the breeding of that horse. ❤

My favorite time of year begins today, foal inspections! This year I get to start and end with an AHS Inspection. Looking forward to seeing all the Hanoverian foals at the AHS Inspection hosted by CNDC this morning!

It's foal day at CNDC!

It’s that time of year again for our annual mare and foal photo shoot day!

Tamara with the Camera is here taking photos and Christiane is manning the video camera to capture our 5 mares with foals by Vitalis, Revolution, Damaschino, and two by CNDC’s very own homebred stallion Velantis N 🤩

This will be the perfect rehearsal for tomorrow’s Hanoverian inspection at CNDC.

Hope Christian ate his Wheaties and brought his running shoes 🏃🏼

September & October are wonderful months for a Private Session. Now is the time to get on my calendar, as the dates tend to go fast. I will be traveling around Northern California for the next couple weeks and I'll post when and where. If you're in those areas and would like a shoot I will be available to add a couple while I'm there. It looks like August 26-27 I'll be in Watsonville. Let me know if you'd like in on a Private Session.

So many really cool photos! Thank you for always inspiring me to get that shot! You are all incredible 💕
