--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ASA Farm is pleased to announce that BONNE VIVANT, their PURE POLISH stallion (Monogramm x Bonne Cherie by *Bandos x Bonfieree-*Bask++ x *Boltonka) was named

REGION 15 CHAMPION STALLION SPORT HORSE

BONNE VIVANT had the highest sport horse score of the Region 15 show!

Thanks to Tomasz Skotnicki for breeding such a wonderful stallion! And, more importantly, we would like to thank God, for leading us to this beautiful stallion!

His foals are superlative and his first daughter shown, ASA Hannah, won her first halter class (main ring) straight out of the pasture! (That\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s what a good Polish horse should be able to do!) They all inherit his upright long, hooky neck, lots of trot, and lovely head with big eyes, correct legs and structure.

God bless the Polish horses and the people who love them...

Emillia Wins at East Coast
Our big, beautiful pure Polish mare, Emillia won Reserve Champion Country English ATR at the 2008 East Coast Arabian! Many thanks to our friend, Megan who rode her with only about a 10 minute warm-up! Talk about a user-friendly show horse! This mare is such a blast when you HIT THE GAS!

In this photo, she was only in the full bridle for less than 10 days, after not being ridden for many years.

Emmie is nearly 15.2 HH and is always ready to GO, GO, GO! But her ground manners are wonderful. She is a very "talkative" girl, though...
ASA HANNAH WINS HER FIRST SHOW
ASA HANNAH, the lovely grey daughter of BONNE VIVANT and out of our wonderful Cognac daughter, HOT TODDYE, won her first show out with only 30 minutes of training!

Many thanks to the Sutton Family. It was a blast and Hannah was such a good girl!

The show was the prestigious A.H.A.N.E. show at the "Big E" in West Springfield, MA.

Look at that NECK! It is a signature of the BONNE VIVANT foals, INCREDIBLE HINGE, THIN THROATLATCH (she NEVER had a sweat on her neck, EVER!) and SUPPLE AND HIGH SET!
THE ONLY PURE POLISH COLT TO WIN REGIONAL TOP FIVE
