We wish everyone the very best life has to offer. As we close the books on 2008 we reflect upon the events that unfolded throughout the year. We were pleased with the 100% conception rate of Double Tstandard. We anxiously await the arrival of his 2009 foals. We attended Regionals where the Double Tstandard daughter, RCCR Double Precious, took two TOP FIVE honors in Sport Horse in Hand. The Double Tstandard son, RCCR Double Dealer, is now being shown successfully in Costume and CEP. We congratulate their owners on a job well done. More of Double Tstandard’s get went under saddle in 2008. From Texas, to Colorado to New Mexico, the trainers all agree, these horses have tremendous talent and are easy to train. They give with all their heart. It is rewarding to have produced horses of such quality. Throughout the year we marketed several horses. As the bond between horse and owner develops, we follow their lives with great interest. During the course of 2008 we met some interesting people. Across the states, across the borders and across the world, cultures may be quite different, but horses have a way of spanning the gap. Watch us in 2009, as we continue......... |

 | We welcome you to consider our Arabian stallion, DOUBLE TSTANDARD for your mare in 2009. With so many stallions available today your question might be, why select Double Tstandard? Quite simply the answer is.... his foals. There is a certain thread that weaves through his get. They are elegant in stature, graceful in motion and no matter what the breed of the mare, the foals are consistently stamped with his distinct Arabian type. While a horse’s beauty may take your breath away, correct confirmation and a willing attitude are necessary for one to be useful. Double Tstandard’s foals have the temperament to learn quickly and bond deeply plus they have the confirmation to be blue ribbon winners. Their charismatic personalities endear them to everyone they meet. They are purchased without hesitation by their new owners. |
| In 2007 these two ladies made their show ring debuts. At the local level his then 6 month old Half Arabian Half Saddlebred filly RCCR DOUBLE PIROUETTE won her weanling halter class. She also garnered Reserve Champion in her division, competing against all genders of purebred and half Arabians. She danced around the ring with the elegance of a ballerina, the sparkle of a show horse, and although it was her first time away from home, she exhibited the grace of a seasoned pro. Now in 2008, she is growing into a statuesque beauty, remarkably standing over 15 hands. Pirouette has the refinement of an Arabian and the grace of a Saddlebred. She is a perfect combination of the two breeds. RCCR DOUBLE PRECIOUS began her show career in 2007 in Class A competition. Owned by Darlene Stockton, this mare was shown against stiff competition and won the Sport Horse In Hand class. With a quick tack change she returned to the very next class, Sport Horse Under Saddle, and was pinned with another blue ribbon. All this at the tender age of four. Precious continues to show in Class A and qualified for Regionals in 2008. Region 9 is noted for having some of the stiffest competition in the Sport Horse divisions and yet when taken into the ring by an amateur Precious garnered Top 5 honors in both of her Sport Horse in Hand classes! We are so excited for Darlene and her beautiful Double Tstandard daughter, RCCR Double Precious. |   photo credit Kathy Starustka

THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH We are vested in each and every mare that is bred to Double Tstandard. From conception to foaling we strive to help you through each step. One of the most wonderful memories I have is of sitting with a mare owner on foal-watch. As we sat in lawn chairs the full moon lit the paddock with an ethereal glow. Giddy with lack of sleep we kept each other awake by chatting about our favorite subject, horses. At 3 in the morning with a warm summer breeze gently blowing her mane, Aladdinn’s Lady lay down and we quietly walked to her side, flashlight and foaling kit in hand. The foaling went smoothly with God’s help, and we watched as the miracle of birth unfolded. Attending the birth of Aladdinn's Foxy Lady will be one memory I will cherish forever. |  ALADDINN'S FOXY LADY shown here the following year, 2006. |
