2001 a chestnut colt was born.    His daddy was Bey Shahn and his mommy was MC Jabasks Rose.   He was one of the prettiest little babies Bey Shahn has ever produced.    He was red like fire so he was named "Reydiashahn Bey" for the firey nuclear radiation he resembled.    He was nicknamed Reymond because "Everybody Loves Reymond!"

In 2002 Judith and Deanna of Windborne Video came over and took pics and video of Reymond to go in Shahn's stallion video.

When Reymond was a year old he went to the Gold Star Futurity and showed in the Open Yearling Gelding/Colt class. He was being shown by an individual that hadn't shown an Arabian before.    The kid did a great job but Reymond got the gate that year.   That was his first show.   Unfortunately, no pictures were taken of Reymond at that time.

A girl named Stephanie came along and fell in love with Reymond (as everyone does) and she talked her mom and dad into letting her buy him.   They became very best friends.

2003 Iowa Gold Star Futurity -- CHAMPION 2 Year old Gelding

Stephanie brought Reymond back the next year to the Gold Star Futurity show and showed him by herself and he was named CHAMPION and beat all the horses that had beaten him the year before.

In Jan/Feb 2004, Stephanie started Reymond under saddle herself when he was 3 years old.   He was already walking, trotting, and cantering on the FOURTH ride!!  This is a picture of Reymond and Stephie on their fourth ride.

In 2006, Stephy got married and had a little boy.   She wasn't riding as much so she decided to let us borrow Reymond back for the Summer so we could ride him in some parades and so Dani and Lauren could show him.    Reymond is now 5 years old.

 In 2007 Stephie was expecting another little boy so she didn't ride quite as much again.   She did bring Reymond out in September 2007 to help out the club at the Dancing With Horses presentation at MacElroy Auditorium in Waterloo, IA.    She was 6 months pregnant when she threw a costume on Reymond and ran him around the arena in front of hundreds of people.

Reymond is now 7 years old and Stephanie has decided to let us buy him back from her.  She has two baby boys and needs to take more time with her family.   We have placed Reymond in training with Deb Brass and hope to have new pictures loaded up of him shortly!!
