Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 Subject: Re: Registrations Hi Fredericka Silky was a star last year during the end of the show season. We did not start showing til mid season. We went to several schooling shows and we were entered in First Level for the first time. I was so proud of her!!!!!!! The first schooling show was held for 2 days but we could only go for one and she placed first in 2 classes and second in 1 class and received the reserve champion ribbon for the show. I was so tickled at the way she worked but also that she could acheive that honor in one day. Our 2 other schooling shows she also did great winning several classes and placing second and third in the rest. She was never lower then third place all season and the schooling shows were packed with competitors. We are currently working on strengthening of the hind quarters so she can carry more weight and move up to second and third level. Since my coach feels she needs more time for the demands of the next two levels we are taking her with Princess Star Ruby to hopefully three large dressage breeding shows. Silky is helping Star get used to the ropes on the road, and so I also entered her in the breeding division 4 year old and older mares without foals and the performance horse classes. I have never done this before so I am working with a runner who has shown in hand all over this area. He loves them both and was espeically happy about Star Ruby's willingness to try something new and her wonderful big balanced trot in hand. Silky remains the most steadfast and dependable horse I have ever had and she makes riding a joy. She has a home forever. Thanks again for breeding such wonderful horses. I hope they can show their Flying W Farms colors at these coming breed shows. They are both enrolled with the USDF and the USET.
Our best Betty, Smooth as Silk, Princess Star Ruby and Prince Radolph ( you'd think we were royalty with names like these!!

From: Betty Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2000 Subject: Smooth as Silk Dear Fredericka, Just a note to let you know that Silky(yes we are keeping her name) has just arrived home from her very first horse show. she just turned 3 last month and I wanted her to go to a big show and hang out for a few days take in the sights and just see how well she would handle all the confusion. she was entered in a few Green as Grass classes at a Dressage show where you just walk and trot. she placed second and 6th and the best part was she just quietly went about her job and did not flinch at the 100's of things a horse can be frighten with at a horse show. In all my years with horses ( I have owned and broken and shown over 110) she and one other cross gelding i had ever got such high marks for being so young. I am thrilled !! She has restored my faith in the equine world as 2 years ago i was severly hurt by a rouge. She has a home with me forever and i happily look forward to working her and showing her in the future. i will keep you posted and THANK YOU AGAIN. Best Betty

21, 2003 Hi Fredericka Silky and Radolph send their best. They are stable mates and also pasture buddies. Radolph continues to be handsome and very easy to manage and Silky continues to allow my confidence to grow. She has been to the park several times on the trails - a lead horse and always calm even after a flock of birds went right up from under her in the field. My heart stopped she said no problem. What a Saint! Because of Silky and now Radolph I have gotten over that terrible accident with another horse. Silky has continued to be steadfast, calm and very capable getting 7's on her gaits at her first real dressage show this past weekend. NOTHING!!!! phased her not even the water truck as it went by us spewing water everywhere to water the rings. I can honestly say without her I would never be back riding again with the hope of EVER getting to FEI level again. This weekend proved SHE HAS GIVEN ME BACK MY CONFIDENCE and we can look forward to moving up the levels. I do not think there is anything she can not do. Thank you so much for breeding horses that are sane, talented and willing partners- a rare find these days. My best to all of you and God Bless Betty
Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 9:35 AM Here they are this morning, Radolph just turned 2 and Silky now 6. They are out each morning together and work later in the day or evening depending on the weather. Radolph is already taller then Silky who I believe has stopped growing taller and is 16 hands. Radolph has slowed down his upward growth and I think may top out at 16-2. They are both wonderful Thank you again and God Bless
