Xanadu

[muffntuf]

Does anyone know who originally bred Xanadu and if she is still alive? Who owned her last?

Thanks!

Ahh Rimmers have her! Wow! She's 20 now.

Thanks by the way!

I don't see her listed for show results, I wonder if she was ever shown?

 

[Lewella]

Anything shown prior to the current computer program will not show up as having a show record. That includes animals who have their HOF.... Punch in a 1990's HOF pony's registration number and it will come back with no results.

 

[muffntuf]

Yeah, I thought the lifetime was for a horse's lifetime though. Not just current year.

lewella have you seen this mare?

 

[Lewella]

It's supposed to be but show records predating the current system were apparently never entered. I have a mare that was shown by O'Keefe's and has HOF points from back in the early 90's and the office can find no record of her points. I know of a couple of other people who have ponies that they know were shown (some even to National Championships) that they can't get a show record on either....

No, haven't seen Xanadu in person. I'm pretty sure Jackie Tyler was at Taylor's sale when Rimmer's bought her though!

 

[muffntuf]

Thanks Lewella! Do Rimmers have a website or email?

Xanadu is a very pretty bay mare. Long necked, nice trot and pretty faced. She reminds me alot of Willie Doo in a larger package. I know she was bred when Rimmers bought her and they have also raised a colt out of her by one their studs. Lori Wilkinson has a full sister, Xanadu Too and has raised some nice colts out of her including a Will Doo son named Kathmandu that is now owned by Rich and Kim Kensell in Illinois. Lori also owns Rockets Will Doo who is a son of Xanadu. Cathy Bowers in Iowa has a son of Xanadu, Rambo, and Mike Eschbach of Indiana has a Xanadu son, Zoro. The World Champion Classic gelding was a Xanadu son, Maverick, owned by Tod and Janet Tallon of Indiana.

Thanks Amber! I would love to see a picture of her. I am looking at a mare out of Xanadu and Michigan's King Pin. So am looking to try to contact Rimmers.

I have the Rimmer's number as my mare is in training with him....pm if you don't have it.

Hi all! I'm new here. I'm the proud owner of a Xanadu daughter, Michigan's Zena. She's by Michigan's Maverick. I'm not sure why mother was bred to her son, but they produced a nice cross! My little mare is my avatar.

 

[muffntuf]

If you could, post a bigger pic of her. Thanks!

 

[shetlandponyluvr]

It's taken me this long to figure out how to do this! I'm so computer illiterate

Hi there Shetlandponyluvr ,

Im glad to see you joined! I dont know i you remember me, but this is Leeana ...i met you at sandusky show (fair) last august and talked to you a bit. I was the one with all the minis / ponies

. I like that mare

.

Nice to see another local join

 

[shetlandponyluvr]

Hi Leeana!!

I sure do remember you. Fair is always such a hoot. I like my little girl too.

I was out at my parents place this afternoon and decided to clip her and just fuss over her in general. She loves the attention. My youngest is itching to ride her, so I'm planning to go back out tomorrow night. Good talking to you again! -Becky

 

[muffntuf]

Thanks for posting a bigger pic. Very nice mare!

 

[shetlandponyluvr]

Thank you!!

Don't know if any of you are interested, but I've decided to sell Michigan's Zena. I've consigned her to the Mt Hope Summer Carriage & Draft Horse Sale on June 12th in Mt Hope, Ohio. She's broke to ride & drive, & according to the Amish boys who are giving her a training refresher, she's traffic safe!
