2007 Largest number of foals for Merriewold
We are expecting six foals in 2007! That is the most we have ever had. And we are really excited about the crosses we have made and the quality of the foals. Below is a list of the upcoming foals and their approximate foaling dates.
1/28 Majesty My Fair Lady X Beethoven
3/12 MLF Emotion X Santa Fe Renegade
3/31 Willowist Promise To Keep X Gulfwind Sir William
4/14 Ringbrook Renaissence X MEMC Tequilla Cuervo
6/14 ABL Morning Star X UVM Springfield
7/15 Caduceus Marika (Coco) X Dragonfire Kirin
This is our “J” year for naming the foals. We could use some help. Please send us any good ideas on foal names that start with a “J”. If we use your suggestion, we will give you credit on this site!
Meet Ubaldo
Ubaldo Arreola has been with Merriewold for about one year and we really don’t know what we would do without him. He has become a wonderful groom and horse handler. He has a kind and calm way with the horses and he is always ready to help out with whatever chores need to be done to keep the ranch running! Thanks Ubaldo!
First round pen work- Galaxie and Georgia continued.
The girls are also starting some round pen training. Basic voice commands such as, Halt, Walk, Trot are being learned. And we will be learning about each individual as well.

Marika’s surrogate, ‘Coco’ 150 days “in foal”
Our new mare Caduceus Marika is having a foal via surrogate, Coco. This is an important foal for us so we wanted to make sure everything was still going well. And yes, we have a foal! The foal’s sire is the well known, Dragonfire Kirin, a Multi-World Champion in Hunter and Dressage divisions.
MLF Emotion due in March
The time to purchase this beautiful mare is getting short. Emotion is a Regional Champion in Dressage and Ladies Western pleasure. She is 15.1 hands and registered black. And she is in foal to the incredible Santa Fe Renegade, Multi World Champion Western Pleasure stallion. This is a world class package! MLF Emotion’s feature page.
Galaxie and Georgia start training early
Merriewold Galaxie and Flower of Georgia our two year old fillies are starting their ground work and round pen training. Both girls are big and athletic for their age and the work will be really good for them. Photos to follow.
Congratulations to the Pho family on their purchase of ‘Ellie’!
Merriewold Elegance has a wonderful new home. The Pho family of San Jose, CA has purchased her as their pleasure horse and Jasmine’s new mount.
Merriewold Ima Honey Moon
Merriewold Ima Honey Moon arrived in Arroyo Grande two weeks ago. She is now six months old and her coat color has changed dramatically. So much so that we wonder, what color is she? Jennifer Monroe owner of Honey’s cremello sire, MEMC Tequilla Cuervo says that Honey will probably keep changing color for quite some time. We will update her photos again in the spring when she sheds out her winter coat. For now here’s just a peek! Honey’s feature page and photo album.
