  Another Parade for Haat Lipz
Sandy Obermeyer of Obermeyer Performance Arabians  has sent us this photo of Bill Obermeyer (waving to the crowd) and their home-bred mare Haat Lipz (Blitzen of Pico x Arribas Pride) once again leading the Atascadero Horsemen in a parade through Paso Robles on October 11th.  Sandy reports that Haat Lipz, who also serves as a posse horse for the SLO Sheriff's Department,  was steady throughout despite all the noise, confusion, vehicles, sirens, bands, and other 196 entries. What a good girl and outstanding representative of CMK Breeding! (10/13/02)

  Eagerly Awaiting
Karen Malcor-Chapman can hardly wait for next year's CMK arrivals. "Foxie Ferseyn (Mij Ferseyn x Erramuffit).. our 24 yr. old mare due to deliver in February, 2004... is still pregnant, happy as a clam playing games with our feed truck and begging to get scratches even if we are going to get another horse, is sleek and fat and sassy. She's also SCID Clear! Yippee! (Just got the test results yesterday!). Can't wait to see this foal ~ 75% CMK (by Khornerstone KpM). Also expecting another CMK baby in April, by Khornerstone KpM and out of TA Sarrinade (Arribba x Gai Talley). Both mares have special pages on Karen's website home for KpM Cornerstone Arabians. Please take a look!" (09/30/03)

  Transitions
News today from Marci de la Torre: "Farlanes Pride+/ (Farlane x Mahalann) has returned to Canada for a visit after a 6 year stay in California. Dr. David Ward, his owner, will freeze semen over the next couple of months so he can insure preservation of these precious bloodlines for years to come. After he is successfully frozen, Farlanes Pride+/ will return to Marci de la Torre at Pegasus Park in SoCal. Until then, he will be sorely missed and his paddock will stand empty awaiting his arrival." (09/23/03)

Update from Marci de la Torre! We believe the photo on their webpage is of the Kellogg Heritage Herd mare Ohadi Abbie and her colt Aul American. Thanks for letting us know, Marci. (09/23/03).

We have added a special page for news and announcements from Melissa Paul, Curator of the W.K. Kellogg Library. Please take a look! (09/10/03)

  Karen ~ Get Well Soon!
Karen Malcor-Chapman has been in touch to let us know she's having difficulties with her wrist and facing surgery in October.
