Chandelle Farm What's New At Chandelle?

Chandelle High Wright Pursuit, in training at Sunny Acres Farm had an impressive show at Western New York, and was Champion, Jr horse, Pleasure Driving. "Ace" went on to the NY Morgan Regional, where he was 1st in NY Futurity 3yr old driving, 1st in NY Futurity 3yr old stallions and geldings, and reserve futurity 3yr old under saddle. This handsome 3 year old has trot and action to spare, paired with the disposition of a kitten. He is by Chandelle High Noon, out of Chandelle Victoria. Check out the sale site for more pictures. He has a terrific work ethic—if you ask a little of him, he’ll give you double and still have energy in reserve.

Chandelle High Tigerhawk had a busy summer. Tiger came home from WNY as Reserve High Point, and with blues in Supereinsmanship, Progressive Obstacle and Timed Obstacles. The following weekend, we went to the Northampton Driving Show, and came home with a second in reinsmanship and a third in working. The timed obstacles brought home a 5th, but not bad in a field of 15. Thunderstorms cut the day short, but we were happy with the performances in the open show. Two weeks later, at the Amateur show, Tiger managed to win 4 out of 5 classes, and the high point championship. We were delighted when the judge applauded our scurry and progressive classes, and said “that was impressive!” I was thrilled with Tiger’s performance for sure! Tiger was shipped to Seattle where he is now fat and happy riding and jumping with Elizabeth. He’s very excited about being with ‘his girl’ again.

Chandelle High Noon was put back to work, after Tiger left for Seattle. With little time to prep, "Cooper" was off to Walnut Hill to show his stuff in the carriage arena. Cooper took a 3rd in the Scurry obstacle, and a 4th in Progressive obstacle, and showed his elegance by winning the roadcart presentation award on the Pleasure drive, and what a pleasure he is to drive. Then on to NY Morgan Regional, where after having several years off decided to put his feet back into the Dressage arena. Cooper and Kristen Sackett made a great team, winning training level test 2, 3, 4 (with a score of 72). Making them Dressage Training Level Champions, and winning the Joan Sackett memorial trophy. Back into harness with JoAnn as whip, Cooper, won the scurry, and working, 2nd in reinsmanship, 3rd in timed obstacle, making them the Carriage driving Champions as well.

Chandelle High Skymaster started his training under saddle with Mike Kropp. By High Noon, out of River of Dreams, he is a nice mover and could easily go classic, hunter or western. Another pretty head with a sweet disposition.


Chandelle High Boeing Summer is started under saddle and is looking pretty in her bridle. This lovely filly, by High Noon, out of Caja’s Foxy lady has her daddy’s trot with a lovely feminine head. She will make someone a super carriage or hunt seat horse.

We are pleased to be leasing UVM Vanna, from Pat Walter, and she is bred to Chandelle High Noon. Cooper again settled his mare on one heat cycle, and Vanna was pronounced In foal on the first day of summer!

Chandelle High Gail Force and Chandelle High WildKat put on some serious miles riding the times for the Big Loop Hunter Paces, after a successful season, they can't wait to get back to it next year, with new trails, new jumps, and lots of fun. Don't forget how they love to take a nice swim after to cool off.

We congratulate our stallion Chandelle High Noon and Foxwin Estarzie on the birth of their lovely daughter, Foxwin Deva.  Pat Ross’ mare foaled in early May and the filly looks lovely!

The first day of summer also brought us a lovely bay filly, by High Noon, out of Chandelle Victoria. This sweet upheaded darling was born on the Solstice, and will be registered as Chandelle High Amelia. It was a perfect ending to a long day. She grows prettier and friendlier every day. She loves people, and is already trotting over to the fence to say hello to visitors.

2006 Highlights

"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 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.
