Paul and I were fortunate recently to purchase two beautiful mares from legendary event rider, Phyllis Dawson, in northern Virginia.  They both have Flagmount Diamond breeding on their sire's side so are related to Flagmount Cliff (aka Kazu Makino's "Harry") as well as the wonderful Flagmount Ivy who I bought and then sold on to Cathy Ziobro of Washington DC in 2012.  Noble Maiden (stable name Betty) has joined the team at Cedar Crest in New York whilst I have custody of the lovely Diamond Jubilee.  I think they will both garner a crowd of fans with their good looks and that wonderful Irish temperament!  Jubilee is known by her friends as Bella and not only does she have great bloodlines on her sire's side, but she is also a grand-daughter of the TB stallion Babamist through her dam, an intermediate event mare named Rejoice.  Babamist was mentioned in the latest US Eventing magazine by Bruce Davidson as being one of the most influential TB sires of all times.

As can be seen from her photo, Bella is rather plump and out of condition at present but we'll soon work that off!
