| This page lists some of the horses owned by Debi Crowley and is quite incomplete at the moment. The horses listed on this page are not generally for sale, but will likely be for sale in the future. Most youngsters raised at Cotton Meadows Farm are not offered for sale until they are confidently working under saddle. A few of them are kept until they have experience in the show ring. Please check our Sales page to see what is currently available. |
Master Manipulator (aka "Mikey")
Mikey is a 2001, 16h Thoroughbred gelding that Debi purchased from Cathy Sweezey of Timbertown Stables in Lexington, KY. Before Debi bought him, he had some jumping training under his belt, but had no eventing show experience. He is a fabulously brave jumper with great jumping style and also a very nice mover. Debi competed him at Novice in 2007 and won 4 out of 5 horse trials with him. He then sustained a puncture wound to his coronary band which required significant stall rest followed by having to grow out his hoof before he could be ridden. Debi then concentrated on dressage with him and competed him in recognized dressage shows before returning to eventing in June of 2009 where he won his eventing Training Level debut. Mikey has posted scores at recognized dressage shows with scores in the 70's at First Level and scores in the 60's at Second Level. As of early Nov 2009, he has completed 4 horse trials at Training level, placing in the top 3 each time out. Our expectation is that Mikey will move up to Prelim in early 2010.
Mikey is currently FOR SALE. See the Sales page for additional info.

Napoleon
Napoleon is a miniature mule that was born on 3/30/06. He was born premature and spent his first week at the University of Tennessee vet school. When he returned home, his mother didn't accept him so he nursed from a goat and was pan fed. He came to Cotton Meadows Farm when he was a month old and is a source of constant entertainment. As you can see from the photos, Napoleon and Dax, our German Shepherd, are great friends.

Vandiver (aka "Quinn")
Quinn is a 2004, 17h, Trakehner gelding by Windfall (www.newspringfarm.com), bronze medal winner on the US eventing team at the 2004 Olympics. Quinn was bred, raised, and started at CMF. Combined with the eventing bloodlines in his dam's (Visions of Grandeur, ATA) pedigree, we had high hopes that this boy would be a future eventing champion and, so far, he has been living up to our expectations. He has proven to be an extremely quiet and eager learner and has been successful at recognized dressage shows with scores in the 70's as a 4 yr old and was in the ribbons each time out in the summer of 2009 at Novice level eventing. He won his eventing Training level debut in the fall of 2009 and placed 2nd at his second Training level outing.
Quinn is currently FOR SALE. See the Sales page for additional info.

Anette ("Camille")
NEWS FLASH!!! Camille is in foal to Idocus for a May 2010 foal!
Camille is a 2005 NA-KWPN mare by Sir Sinclair out of a keur mare by Contango. We purchased this mare as a yearling as an upper level dressage prospect and future broodmare. At her 3 yr old NA-KWPN studbook inspection in September of 2008, Camille scored in the top 5 in the nation and received her STAR predicate. Camille is a big, strong girl standing 17.0h at the inspection. She has the looks, movement and temperament indicative of her breeding. She is now working solidly under saddle until she takes a break for her first foal. Our long term plan for her is to begin her competition career after weaning her 2010 foal.

Visions of Grandeur ("Tia")
Tia is a 2000 chestnut Thoroughbred/Trakehner mare by Mystic Replica, a Thoroughbred son of the legendary Babamist. With her pedigree of athletes and her unflappable quiet nature, we have high expectations for her foals. She has been inspected and approved for breeding by the American Trakehner Association (ATA) so her foals by approved Trakehner stallions will be eligible for registration with the ATA. Tia has produced 2 colts by Windfall, bronze medal winner on the US eventing team at the 2004 Olympics, and a colt and filly by A Fine Romance, a TB producer of winning hunters and eventers. These foals (see below) will be for sale after they are going quietly and confidently under saddle and started over fences.

Caritas ("Cari")
Not only is this filly a looker, but she has the sweetest, friendliest disposition imaginable. Her sire is Stiletto, a gray Trakehner stallion, that stands at Valhalla Farm. This multi-talented stallion has competed successfully in Level 5 & 6 jumpers, Prix St. George dressage, and at the Intermediate level of eventing. Her dam, Carmelita Kitten (see photos on the Sales page under Horses Sold By CMF), is a fancy 16.3h TB that has been inspected and approved by the American Trakehner Association with very good scores. With this breeding, this filly should be an outstanding prospect for eventing. She will be fully registered with the ATA.
