Just wanted to let you know that Ellie (FWF Elegance) is still here and teaching a whole new group of kids the ropes of jumping and dressage. She is one of the most loved horses on our farm. I can't believe she's been here so long, wow time flies. I have attached some pics of her at a show this year with one of our lesson students who won ribbons on her as usual! Hope you all had a great Christmas.

Anna's
mother, Sandy Dolan

of 1999 as a yearling.
Scroll down to see her grow up with her young rider!

Subject: Another great picture of FWF
Elegance...
My younger daughter, Carly, showed FWF Elegance for the very first
time this past May in eventing since her older sister Anna is so
busy at college. This is an awesome picture (attached) of the two at
novice level cross country during the May Daze Horse Trials at the
Kentucky Horse Park. Unfortunately a saddle problem arose later on
in the cross country course that required Carly to dismount and fix
her saddle and caused massive time penalty points, but the two went
on and finished without any refusals on cross country and went
double clear in stadium. This is one of my favorite pictures.

Dear Fredericka;
I wanted to let you know that Anna and Ellie went down to Tennessee for
thier
C3 Pony Club testing this past weekend. Talk about a tough weekend,
three of |the five candidates testing did not pass. Anna and Ellie did pass and with
flying
colors, they had the most beautiful stadium jumping of all
candidates. The cross
country phase was challenging to say the least, they
jumped a farm wagon,
up a large bank, jumped into a banked water obstacle
that was placed in a grove
of shady trees, horses did not see it until
they were right on it, through fence lines,
it was the Beechgrove Hunt
Club's course. They really make them
earn it or they
simply don't pass them and they have to come back and
retest. I was so happy for
them as Anna is a senior in High School and she
has plans to go away to college
next year. Anna and Ellie probably won't
have too much time together after this year. Ellie will stay here and
probably show during the summer. I always loved watching
them show, I am
already getting sad at the thought of Anna going away to college
but you
have to let them spread their wings and fly in their own direction.

3/12/01 we rec'd this letter from Anna's mother:
Have backed Elegance and she
didn't bat an eye. She has natural talent for
jumping and jumped our metal over 4 ft. gate when another horse was picking
on her, she was quite proud of herself afterwards. She has a huge hunter
stride and such a nice canter. I get good complements all the time and I
tell
everyone where I got her. I also tell them about those beautiful freisian crosses you have posted on your site. I noticed you've sold the pretty
little
pinto filly I liked so much; We'll keep you posted on Ellie's progress.

Talk about versatility!!!! Hunter,Jumper, Eventing, Dressage including
musical Freestyle!!!! Wow! |

Note from Fredericka;
"Fond memories" Looks like a picture
postcard. We are so pleased when we see
these young riders doing so well with the
horses they purchased from us, and then
trained themselves! Speaks to the gentle
willing nature of the horses we raise.
Congratulations Anna and Elegance!!!

FLYING W FARMS ELEGANCE WINS COMBINED TEST!!! (2003)
owner/rider ANNA DOLAN
Elegance won a combined test and her musical freestyle at a approved Midsouth
Eventing and Dressage Association Show last Sunday at Training 1
and 2 levels.
This was also her first time jumping at a show, she had no refusals.
She got a 62.8 on her musical freestyle. She did it to the Lord Of the
Rings music
and with her big movement she was awesome!!
She got 8's on her movement and impulsion.
My daughter and Ellie had quite
an audience
watching.
The judge really liked Elegance and said she had
beautiful gaits. She was the star
of the show, people loved her
shire
feathering. I was so proud of her. She was truly
elegant in her dressage,
she earned her name. Anna's riding instructor says Elegance
has the
potential to go to the top levels of dressage and combined training. Sandy

Dear Fredericka:
Our daughter Anna and Flying W Farms Elegance won their class at the
Indiana State Fair 4H Horse & Pony Show in Senior Equitation Over Fences.
The Pepsi Coliseum can be intimidating for first time horses to show in
but it didn't phase Ellie. Next show will be the Jump Start Horse Trials
at the Kentucky Horse Park. Sandy

Dear Fredericka;
Ellie and Anna competed at the USEA recognized Jump Start Horse Trials at
the Kentucky Horse Park this past weekend. They placed 2nd! They had their best dressage test
yet and went clear on both stadium and cross country. Paperwork is being
sent for your awards. I have also attached
some pictures of them
competing. We do not have good pictures of cross country yet as the
photographer did not have them ready and is sending out proofs later.
There is a good one of Anna and Ellie approaching the last jump in the
cross country course, a great one of them in stadium, and a good one of
them in dressage. Sandy Dolan
