Affluent Farms welcomed “Zed” (by Zulu out of our C.S.H.A. mare, Milka) into the world on July 12th, 2020. He is an extremely personable little guy who isn’t afraid of anything! He is black.
Status: Stable

Whata Ending
I have loved Paint horses ever since I owned a beautiful gelding named Sonny (sired by Bear’s Bonanza) that was a half brother to this little mare. “Finny” as she is known, A.P.H.A. registered foundation tri-colour Tob-Overo mare, has produced some beautiful colored and solid breeding stock Paint horses for our farm, the one daughter of which we kept, Lilleoett, mentioned in this website.

Milka
This lovely 16 hh mare has produced a couple of foals, but the one that is doing extremely well at present is Darlington (by Diamant, aka Star Struck) in the hunter division. Milka is a more refined mare with a beautiful temperament. She passes along her body type and easy going movement and personality to all her foals. The one that is for sale at present is her 2018 colt, Don’t Mind Me (name pending C.S.H.A. registration).

Lonessa
This registered Canadian Trakehner mare makes a good companion for other horses, as she never was able to produce foals. She heralds back to Donauwind through her sire, Target, half brother to Abdullah, the Olympic jumper that won the Gold Medal for the U.S.A. in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Lilleoett
Lilleoett is a registered A.P.H.A. Solid Breeding Stock Paint mare and a half Thoroughbred out of Finny. my A.P.H.A. registered tri-colour Tob-Overo mare. Some day I hope to breed Lilleoett as she has Northern Dancer and Deputy Minister on her Thoroughbred side.

Gratitude
Gratitude was shown at the Royal as a yearling but only began his show career under saddle in 2019 with Carly Wulf. This gelding is presently receiving training from Claudia (Frauchiger) Johnston of Hidden Valley Farm near Stayner. It is hoped that he will find a home with a rider that will take him to the top levels of dressage or 3-day eventing at which he is destined to compete.
Gratitude’s sire was the two-time world champion dressage horse, Gauguin de Lully, born in Switzerland but of Swedish Warmblood breeding. Vicki had hoped to repeat the bloodlines of Rigaletto (Reipo) and that is as close as she could get using Gauguin de Lully. Gratitude did take strongly after his dam in some respects but “Tude” has Lombard and Lortzing in her sire, Ginsberg’s pedigree. It is a known fact that the R.C.M.P. has brought over some of the best dressage bloodlines in Germany to produce the mounts for the Musical Ride. Gratitude is a grandson of our R.C.M.P. broodmare, Bonny. She was 75% Thoroughbred and 25% Clydesdale. Gratitude went to only his second dressage show (summer 2019) and came home with a championship in the basic dressage. Due to weather conditions, he didn’t attend his first Essa hunter show as planned on Sept. 22nd but some video is posted to show how versatile this young horse is.

Dash
This beautiful gelding is the result of breeding Bonny to Diamant, formerly of Charlot Farms in Stratford. Dash showed at the Royal as a three year old under Roy and Sue Fish of Twinholm Stable and was in the top ten in both the Governor’s Cup and the Lieutenant Governor General’s Cup classes. He is Vicki’s riding horse and is an example of what Affluent Farms has striven to produce.
