My 71.6% from Saturday earned me the Jamie Rudolph Memorial award that was given to me during the awards ceremony for the Grand Prix Freestyles.

Zuidenwind
Sire of Elmarees was sold to Sweden in the winter of 2008/2009 and has been an extremely successful sire over there. He was the most popular sire of 2009. (source: www.eurodressage.com)
He also received a favorable foal report in Holland. This is his foal report (bold mine):
Young horses
Elmarees (Zuidenwind x Trento B x Bustron) is developing nicely and at 10 months old he is nearly 15hh tall. He is very sensitive horse and a really big, supple mover. Emmanuella (Johnson x Trento B x Zortin) is also growing up nicely. She is not as big as Elmarees. I took some pictures of them today in the snow:

Eddy becomes Elmarees
We finally came up with a name for "Eddy" - Elmarees. It means southern wind, just like Zuidenwind. (According to a legend, Allah made the Arabian horse from a handful of the southern wind) Eddy is doing great and growing very fast. He has beautiful gaits - his canter is especially balanced and expressive. He has been very easy to deal with and he always tries to do the "right thing". He is a such a pleasure to have here on the farm!
