After 4 weeks of searching, I am please to report that DA Elusive Melody is safely back home. She decided to "go walkabout" and left no forwarding address. We searched the property (all of it) for a downed horse, a body, or a bad smell. We contacted the Sheriff, the local Brand Inspectors & the Humane Society. We posted notices, thinking someone might have "rescued" her. No luck. Due to the traffic patterns of horse riders in this area we concentrated our efforts going South and West - she was spotted by hunters & cattlemen due North, by about 10 miles from home. We rode for several days - through beautiful but rocky country, before we finally located her. She is now confined to the barn until she gets her new freeze brand on her backside so that she has a "return address" in case she gets an itch to wander again. To further appreciate this story, you need to remember that Melody is the filly that got her knee broken into 5 pieces last year.
Destiny Arabians has welcomed 3 new foals in 1999. On May 28 we welcomed this year's filly by DB Destiny Moniet and out of Chevence RSI. She is chestnut - of Sheykh Obeyd, Pure Egyptian & Al Khamsa bloodlines. DA Lady Ladera made her show debut at the All Arabian Country Classic, and forgot how to lead. Maybe next year. Next up was a bay colt born June 6th to Sonyet X E Jinta. He is a unique color, possibly due to the flaxen chestnut color of his dam. He is Straight Egyptian & Al Khamsa. Finally, on June 21st a handsome bay colt was born to Sonyet X DA Royal Damia. Both boys are spoken for, and went to their new home at weaning time. He is Straight Egyptian & Al Khamsa. They will be joined in his new home by DA Prince Kashmir - (Hyksos X Bint Sakara)
Destiny Arabians stallion Hyksos has been purchased by Jeannie Simpson of Kuna, Idaho. He is now an "only stallion" and loves all the attention he is getting.
September 12, 1998 was a red letter day when two of the 1998 foals from Destiny Arabians took first and second place at the 4th Annual Idaho All Arabian Country Classic Horse Show in Caldwell, Idaho in the Weanling and Yearling IN HAND TRAIL Class in a class of 9. DA Meggans Magic was in first place, handled by her new owner, Dianna Cotters, closely followed in second place by DA Tajab'ala, handled by Shanna Harmon. Some of the obstacles to be navigated were poles, loading in to a strange (brand new and stinky) horse trailer, crossing a bridge, retrieving the mail and leaping a small jump. The judge told us later that these two were "a country mile ahead of the rest of the class." The two foals were shown at 5 and 2 months of age and made a great impression at the show.
Shanna Harmon & Dymocenta
RSI - July 5, 1998 Shanna is starting Dymocenta RSI under saddle for Jan Sorrell. On July 5th we took her to a cattle gather and branding - her first introduction to cows. Lady Dy thought it was great that they would run from her - and pinned her ears and pursued - both on her own and under saddle. This was her 10th time under saddle! One of the ladies at the branding commented on how agressive Lady Dy was to the cattle. Her complimentary comment was "She has cow in her." I assured her that Lady Dy was actually a very well-bred Arabian with no "bovine" in her pedigree anywhere.
