ANEMONE II YES aka "Gramma" Foaled 3/9/2002 Nizas x Akelei SILVER CLASSIFIED 2004 - 78 points         This willing filly, affectionately called "Gramma", was bred by Anna Galehr of Schruns, Austria and imported by Twin Birch Farms in October 2002.  Her sire, Nizas, is a result of the 81 point Elite mare (Colrosa's) breeding to Nabucco.  Gramma's dam, Akelei is an Anselma daughter, sired by Walder.  Anemone’s show career kicked off with a bang as she took 1st place in the 2 & 3 year old Haflinger mare class at the 2004 New York State Fair and also brought home the 2004 BEST OF SHOW cooler.  A day later she was high scoring mare at the AHR Classifications and was the recipient of the Angerberg ( Austria ) Haflinger Association trophy.   In 2005 "Gramma" garnered her first National Show title as NATIONAL GRAND CHAMPION MARE, NATIONAL RESERVE BEST OF SHOW and AHR NATIONAL HIGH POINT DRIVING CHAMPION.  She has consistently placed in the top of her classes every time out.  An absolutely beautiful moving mare!  We are very excited about her first foal (a filly!) born 2/22/2007 and sired by 2005 & 2006 AHR National Grand Champion Stallion, Avanti of Cedar Lane.  This is a CHAMPION crossed to a CHAMPION and what a cross this has proven to be...INTRODUCING AN EXPENSIVE DECISION YES aka "Annie" Foaled 2/22/2007 Avanti of Cedar Lane x Anemone II YES MMMMmmmm....GOOD!                     HINDU YES              Foaled 3/09/02  Nabucco x Heimchen SILVER CLASSIFIED 2004 - 77 points                                            Bred by Christian Schellhorn of Austria, Hindu was one of the four imported weanlings brought to Twin Birch in October 2002.  Hindu's sire is Nordtirol (a Nabucco son) and her dam is the impressive Afghan II daughter, Heimchen.  Upon her 1994 official inspection in Ebbs, Heimchen scored an outstanding 81 points and received Elite mare status by World Haflinger Federation standards.  Hindu started her show career by earning the 1st place Pleasure Yearling Filly award at the 2003 AHR National Show, as well as Champion Haflinger Mare and BEST OF SHOW awards at the 2003 New York State Fair, 2005 AHR National Futurity Under Saddle Winner and 2006 Buckeye Haflinger Show Grand Champion Mare and Best of Show.  Time and again Hindu has proven nearly unbeatable in the show ring.  She is trained to ride and drive and will compete over fences in 2007.   Hindu is very nice, quiet moving mare with both the training and pedigree for success.  Super western pleasure mount.
