Morgans For The Sport Of It!
What's New At Chandelle?
2009 Plans
Spring is finally arriving and we’re getting ready to go back to work. Lots of plans for this year. We have horses for sale, so if you are looking for something special, please contact us.
Here is what we are planning so far…
Chandelle High Noon was "cover boy" on the NYSMHS Trader newsletter! We were thrilled with this honor. Cooper will pick up dressage and carriage work again, with plans for the May clinic and WNY show.
Acorn Ridge Black Diamond joined the herd in December. This lovely black mare by Chandelle High Orion out of Beevalley Shalene is in foal to HVK Dragon Beat for a (hopefully) black baby in 2009.
Chandelle High Chancellor (NLF Vigilant x Equinox Magnifikate) is going into training at Sunny Acres, with thoughts of Silver in his pretty head.
Chandelle High Wright Pursuit (Chandelle High Noon x Chandelle Victoria) will be making his dressage debut this year.
Chandelle High Boeing Summer (Chandelle High Noon x Caja’s Foxy Lady) will be learning about carriage driving.
Chandelle High Songbird (JMF Black Flame x Glenmeads Windsong), a bay yearling is growing nicely. She will probably mature at 15+h. Sweet and bold, she is for sale.
Lots of plans for the 2009 year, including shows, trail rides and Hunter paces. Always something going on!

Chandelle Farm Archive news
"I ride." This was sent to me by a friend, and I wanted to share a wonderful sentiment. I hope you enjoy this. It has helped me thru this long winter, when I couldn’t ride. To all of you, who know what this is about, enjoy! I ride.
What Makes Chandelle Farm Go Around?
Chandelle Farm is a small family owned farm in western New York. We have
been raising Morgans for over twenty years. The first attraction to Morgans
was to their disposition, beauty and versatility; the focus of the breeding
program has been to capture and maintain those qualities. Chandelle Farm has
concentrated on using "Old" Morgan bloodlines (like Flyhawk, Upwey Ben Don,
Chasley Superman, Pecos, and Ulendon), with excellent results. The horses
are sweet, good minded and athletic--fully capable of being the cherished
versatile Morgan. Chandelle Morgans have successfully competed in all levels
of competition in open and breed shows and in many disciplines, including
carriage driving, western, hunter, jumping, dressage, english pleasure, and
pleasure driving as well as 4-H, pony club, three-day events, and trail riding.
Most importantly, these Morgans are all family friends and their owners have
loads of stories, pictures, and ribbons to prove it!
Chandelle Farm generally has one or two foals a year and usually has horses for sale. We are always happy to show off these treasures. Please contact JoAnn Squier at jochandell@aol.com or at the address listed for more information.
