Derby was our 15th foal, a colt, born here at Dakota Winds Farm and our last AMHR/ASPC foal of 2010. His registered name "Matacabras" is of course a wind and it literally means “a cold North wind in the mountainous regions of Spain". We decided to use the name Derby as his barn name due to his birth being the same day as the famous Kentucky Derby race which was fitting since his Mom came from Kentucky (thanks Kelly & Mike for the name idea!). Derby is a lovely long legged colt with a confident but sweet personality ... we're thinking he'd make a nice match to Bowie as a team to drive!

Bowie was our 14th foal, a colt, born here at Dakota Winds Farm and our first foal of 2010, our very first AMHR/ASPC foal at that! His registered name "Matanuska" is of course a wind and it literally means “a strong, gusty, northeast wind which occasionally occurs during the winter in the vicinity of Palmer, Alaska". We decided to use the name Bowie as his barn name when one of our visitors said with his one blue eye and one dark eye, he's just like the singer David Bowie. Bowie is a lovely long legged colt with a strong outgoing personality ... if he's anything like his full sister, he'll have movement to burn and will be destined to drive!

Barat was our seventh foal, a colt, born here at Dakota Winds Farm and was a wonderful surprise for me as he was born on Mother’s Day (hence the “MD” in his name). Barat means “A heavy northwest squall in Manado Bay on the north coast of the island of Celebes, prevalent from December to February”. Barat was a saucy boy as soon as he could stand, giving his Mom much grief with his rough play with her. Barat settled down a few months later to become a sweet and lovable wee man. He was shown only twice (winning two 1sts) at the local fairs in 2006 by my youngest daughter, Natalie and was a sweetheart for her to handle.

Zonda was our sixth foal, a filly, born here at Dakota Winds Farm. Zonda means “A Chinook on the Eastern slope of the Andes Region in Argentina”. When she was born, she was all legs and we think she’ll made a lovely future driving horse (she had a lovely floaty trot even as a youngster). She has her Mom’s kind and sweet nature. Before being sold she placed 1st in her Weanling Foals Class at her first show. She has continued her success in the show ring with her new owners by ranking 4th for Mare Foal of the Current Year (30" & under) class in the 2006 AMHR Top Ten National All-Stars.

Zephie was our fifth foal, a filly, born here at Dakota Winds Farm and she took our breath away the minute she was born. Zephyros means "The ancient Greek name for the west wind, which is light and beneficial. In Greek Mythology, it is the God of the Winds of Spring". She is an almost exact replica of her mom, Promised Land’s Fly the Flag but with two gorgeous blue eyes; definitely a keeper! She has amazing movement and will be a match for her mom as our future driving team. Following her Mom's successful show record, Zephie has had tremendous success in her first year of showing and was awarded MHCO Grand Champion Weanling Filly of 2006.

Coromell was our fourth foal, a filly, born here at Dakota Winds Farm. Coromell means “A night land breeze prevailing from November to May at La Paz, near the southern extremity of the Gulf of California”. From day one, Coromell was a real "pocket pony"; always wanting to be touching people, begging for attention, even to the extreme of laying down on your feet and rolling over. Coromell has been having a successful showing debut with her new owners.

Mistral was our second foal, a colt, born here at Dakota Winds Farm. Mistral means “A cold, dry wind from the North”. He was a sweet natured colt who loved to curl up and sleep in the sun with my daughter, Heather. His eager-to-please attitude made him a pleasure to work with. His new owners have enjoyed taking him to parades and doing therapy work with him at Nursing Homes.

Sirocco was our very first foal, a colt, born here at Dakota Winds Farm. Sirocco means, "A warm wind of the Mediterranean area". He has his Mom's kind and easy going nature. He is just the perfect little horse in Miniature and will go on to be one of our future herd stallions.
