What is new: 2003
Facility Expansion at Wintersteen Arabians
November 30, 2003
Barn is getting closer to completion - picture taken in March!
The severe drought in Colorado has been trying for both pasture and trees on the farm. Several of our mature ponderosa pines succumb to pine beetles due to the drought. We have, however, turned this into an opportunity and used this abundant wood supply for expansion in the form of a new 10 stall barn. The foundation was finished this fall and framing started Thanksgiving week. This is a really an addition to the south barn. The new building will boast 10 stalls, many of them an oversized 12 x 18! It will also have workshop, wash stall, tack room and vet room to handle transported semen. WA Pejczyk's phantom for collecting will also be housed in the new barn. The barn sports beautiful full timbers with blue streaked pine from beetles. We hope to put the finishing touches with some Polish influences. Everyone is welcome to stop by for a tour!

Greg with *Ganges
It was with pleasure that we were able to attend the 2003 US Arabian Nationals and be on hand when *Ganges went Reserve Senior Champion Stallion. He was expertly shown by Greg Gallun for leasee Marsha Parkinson. WA Miss Mirabell will be bred to *Ganges in the spring and it was fun to be there to take part in the post victory celebration. In other news we were able to meet up with some of the new owners of WA Gallanor, Tony and Claudette Vincent of Encore Farms, CA. WA Gallanor will be pointed towards the 2004 Nationals in Western Pleasure Jr. Horse with Brett Becker. Becker tooks six National Championships in 2003 in Western Pleasure
Estansia wins Class A Championship!
September 15, 2003
Estansia won her first Class A Show Championship today in the Open Mare. She trotted her way to the Reserve Grand Champion Mare title at the Colorado Fall Charity Class A in Denver. She was shown to the Championship by Jeff Wintersteen, but it certainly could not have been possible without the efforts of David Lowe of Scottsdale AZ who was at the farm 2 weeks prior to school her. She still needs to improve her stand up, but she trots boldly and with confidence in true Monogramm style. In addition, she won the Filly/ Mare AOTH with Bonnie Wintersteen at the lead.
WA Pejczyk wins Stallion Sport Horse in Hand Championship!
August 29, 2003
WA Pejczyk won his first outing in Sport Horse in Hand, named Champion Stallion at the CAHC Class A Fall Show in Denver, CO. Despite being fresh off the track in racing condition and shod race plates, he demonstrated powerful movement for which he got near perfect scores. His only negative was due to lack of "show weight" because of his lean race fitness, but his score was more than sufficient to overcome his rivals. This adds yet another dimension for Pejczyk and his foals. He was shown to the win by Jeff Wintersteen, the first appearance for both in a Sport Horse Class.

A 2003 colt by WA Pejczyk arrived recently at the Barnhill's, out of Wintersteen bred mare WA Baskiva. The chestnut colt is the first chestnut and colt for WA Pejczyk. The colt, Blitzski King, is an excellent individual with particularly great length of neck. The unique name is a tribute to the grandfather of Richard who served in the Polish Calvary.

WA Gallanor Wins Championships!

WA Gallanor won convincingly in his first outing for "Gallanor Group", the partnership that acquired the young stallion this fall. Gallanor captured the Jr. Colt Championship, Grand Champion Stallion, AOTH Stallion, and Sport Horse Championship at the Class A show in Reno Nevada. Joey Canda was the judge.
