Congratulations to Victoria Grape and Oden
Our California Baltic Member

Hey Suzin,

Thanks for all the exciting updates on Oden's siblings. We just got back from the Junior Championships on Monday. Our barn came back with four champions (Training, Third, and two Fourth Level) one of which being Oden! We won the Training Level Championship and received  Reserve Champion High Point for 1st Level Team with a 68% (we were also on the second place team). The rider ahead of us was riding Amanda Harlan's old horse, Onyx who was just shy of making it to young riders last year. I must say I am very proud of Oden as he proved to be very brave for the victory round. Thanks again for producing horses with the temperament and ability to succeed in the show ring.

Best regards,
Victoria

Baltic Sunfire finishes 2nd place
Long Leaf Horse Trials

April 21 & 22, 2007

Tanya email with news:

"There was less than 4 points between 1st and second place...Riley had a rail in stadium, so he ended up second by a tiny margin.  BUT WOW, did he look great!  Dressage test was the best yet.  He got 8's on gaits, trot entry on center line, and free walk.  The rest 6s and 7s.   I think, with the jumping, that once the "green" is worn off...it will be a cake walk for him.  He still is looky from time to time, which is why the rail today.  Each time I see him out, it is leaps and bounds of improvement from the last time.  It is mind blowing how quickly he is growing up." Tanya

Ashley and Aurin at 1 year old

Ashley and Aurin

Hello Suzin!  Aurin competed in her first show since Duke, and has once proven herself again.  She was reserve champion in the pre-greens.  She placed first in the hack out of 11 and many of them had the pros on them.  She placed 2nd in the jumping out of 13!  I was pleased since today was sooooo cold and the schooling rings were frozen.  Just thought I would let you know the good news.....Ashley   January, 2007

 

 

Anne Perrotta and Ferrari 2006

Ferrari

I forgot to tell you I received in the mail a huge purple/brown/green ribbon for sixth place in MacNairs Training division with Ferrari.  I remembered today when I saw the placings listed in the NCDCTA newsletter.  Not bad considering we went to  three shows, but only did one test per show.

Anne, 12/06

 

 

Baltic Surprise

Batlic Surprise 3rd place 2006 Southern Horse Festival, Raleigh Dec. 2.Hi - Add Reno's name to the Baltic Collection's success circle! He took 3rd out of 10 in the English Halter Class [2 yrs and under] at the 2006 Southern Horse Festival State Championship Show in Raleigh. As expected, he was very well behaved and was not at all timid in the crowd of 300 horse at the Hunt Complex. Reno and Darryl make a good team. The only question the Judge asked was "how old is he?". We continue to be amazed by this wonderful "little" gelding.

Baltic Aurin and Ashley Kerr, owner/riderCongratulations to Ashley Kerr and Baltic Aurin on the success at the Duke Childrens Classic A rated Show, November 11, 2006

Hello- Aurin competed at the Duke Children's Classic this week.  She competed in the Carolina Hunter division and once again showed her stuff.  The class entries were 17 and she placed 3rd,4th, and 5th.  She was competing against all the pros and I know of at least two horses for sale in the high high $ amount.  This was an A rated show and she did wonderfully for a 4 year old.  Danny Robertshaw said whatever you are doing keep it up she will only get better and better.  The next show is the Holiday Classic-two days after Christmas.  I will keep you posted.   Ashley

News from Ashley Kerr and Baltic Aurin September 21, 2006

Hey Suzin- Aurin is 4. I will probably not be able to come to the inspection. I forgot to tell you Aurin tied for 1st out of 28, over fences last weekend at a show. It was a schooling show for a little practice before the state fair show Oct. 4th. You just don't know how many compliments that mare gets. She is such a breeze that everyone cannot believe she is only 4 years old. I was unable to get a PIC, since I went alone to the show. I promise I will email some pictures after the rated shows. ~ Ashley

Anne Perrotta and Ferrari compete at Buckhorn Farm, Sept. 9, 2006

Anne Perrotta and Ferrari competed September 9, 2006 Training Level 1 & 2. Anne received 69% and 61% earning 1st place and 5th place. Anne admitted that Ferrari had lots of exuberance in her canter transitions when she rode her second test. Anne didn't do to much warm up thinking Ferrari would be tired, she wasn't. The judge Cindy Sydnor was impressed with Anne and Ferrari and asked what the bloodlines where. When Anne mentioned L.A. Baltic Sundance Cindy was thrilled and shared with Anne she had ridden Sundance.

 

 

Congratulations to the Baltic competitors of the Raleigh Breed Show September, 2006

Baltic Leap of Faith

Gretchen Britt and Baltic Leap of Faith did their first breed show. This was Faith's first time off the farm, into a trailer, braided and into the indoor arena. What an experience for her. This was Gretchen's first experience at a breed show. Both Gretchen and Faith did very well. Gretchen was thrilled with the results. Faith was 5 place with a score of 69%. This was one of the biggest Raleigh Breed Show with people coming from all over. The competition was stiff.

 

 

Baltic Royal Flush (AKA Cassidy)

Cassidy looked good and was full of herself at the breed show. As we all know yearling are at a tough stage. Last year Cassidy was champion. This year she did not place and Heather was disappointed as we all where. Past experience has taught us that this is only a moment in time and Cassidy will once again shine in the spot light. It's all there just waiting to blossom.

Ashley Kerr and Batlic Aurin at MacNairs Hunter Show, second place

 

Ashley Kerr and Aurin, 2nd place MacNairs Hunter Show, March 2006.

Hello Suzin-I thought I would give you an update on Aurin. She is such a special mare and is coming along beautifully. She did her second horse show at MacNairs Hunter Show since last fall and out of 15 or so horses placed second in the adult hunter under saddle. I personally think she should gave gotten first but we did our best. I will email you a picture. I had quite a few people ask me about her yesterday so props to the baltic breeding. Hope all is well ......Ashley Kerr

(May, 2006) Hello Suzin- Good news! Aurin was just reserve champion in another horse show. I jumped her around and she placed 1st in one jumping and 1st under saddle. The judge came up to me to comment on how nice she is and what a good future she has as a hunter. I will send pics to you later .....Ashley Kerr

Hello Suzin!

  Some info on Aurin for you. I have moved her to a different barn down the street, and she loves it. They have lush enormous pastures and an indoor arena. The second day she was there she was kind of restless and looking for some friends, and I had her loose in the indoor. Well, she jumped out of the indoor from a stand still over a 5ft 6in gate. I thought for sure she was injured, but not Aurin, only a superficial cut on her back right. She def is a bold and brave jumper and very willing, especially in the ring. George is coming to teach us today and then we are going to a big hunter show this weekend in Greensboro. Wish us luck ......Ashley (7/19/06)

More news Rock star Aurin!

Hey Suzin- Well, another show of Aurin being the star and getting tons of attention. She was a superstar. She competed in the Special Hunter division with many others and lots of trainers. She had an audience watching her, and commenting on her. She did some flying lead changes which is a first for her. A professional Joy rode her in the jumping classes to make sure she stayed straight. When she was done she goes, "You have an incredible horse, her future is very bright". She got off the trailer and just did her thing and was very sensible. I rode her in the under saddle and she placed first. She will be going to the big A shows in the fall at the hunt horse complex. Until then maybe one or two C shows. Of course, I took zero pics because I was so busy, but I will get some eventually. ~ Ashley (7/24/06)
