Qwiggley is a registered California-bred Thoroughbred gelding born March 3rd, 1991. He has successfully competed in Jumpers all over Alberta, including the Alberta Summer Games in 2000 and several shows at Spruce Meadows, True North, Teesdale, Willowgrove, Amberlea, and Anderson Ranch from 2000 to 2007. Prior to becoming a show jumper, Qwiggley successfully competed in 3-day Eventing, showing great promise to move up through the divisions. However, an injury to his extensory ligament rendered him unable to continue competing in the cross-country phase. Qwiggley also gained recognition in the Dressage world for his stunning presence in the freestyle show-ring by winning Alberta South Region Freestyle Champion in 1998. He was recently semi-retired before Alison moved to Sydney, Australia and is currently enjoying his extended break until Alison's return. |

Oberon is a registered International Sport Horse of Colour, born May 25, 2000. He is a Percheron/Thoroughbred cross gelding that was bred by Ravine Ranch Sport Horses, located in Manitoba.

He also participated in a clinic offered by Richard Keller at Willowgrove Stables where he demonstrated his willingness to learn and aptitude for show jumping. He is currently training in jumpers and dressage over the winter and we will see what next year brings for him in the show ring! |

Pickle is an amazing little Quarter Horse who is the newest member of the Serendipity family. He was purchased as a western pleasure horse but is proving to provide Lara a leg up into the wonderful and exciting world of competitive western riding, including gymkhana events and reining. With Pickle's help, Lara is now trying her hand at reining and is thoroughly enjoying herself, especially the sliding stops! She could not ask for a better horse who is very sweet and honest, with a little bounce in his step to remind everyone that he could be an English pony just like all the others at the stables! |

Luigi

Luigi is a 2000 Chestnut Irish Sport Horse gelding born in New Zealand. He was brought to Canada about 5 years ago as an eventing prospect as he is an extremely talented gelding.

As a result, Luigi is temporarily on a break from the show ring. Luigi is currently training in Dressage and Show Jumping but there are hopes that he may return to the show ring, maybe in a different venue from eventing, in 2011. Keep an eye open for this extremely talented gelding in 2011 with his very proud owner/rider! |

Sage is a ten year old thoroughbred/draft cross. He was rescued by Mike & Judy Brunner and has only recently begun his training with his rider, Casey. He is currently in Dressage and Show Jumping training and is progressing in leaps and bounds. He is showing great potential for any discipline. His rider, Casey, would like to begin showing Sage in 2011 most likely beginning at some dressage shows, moving into the hunter ring, and then hopefully trying jumpers and 3-day eventing.
