After a year of dressage qualifiers in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, the long awaited weekend at the NEDA Fall Festival of Dressage has finally come and gone.   And what a weekend it was!

Jeddien and Kimberley have returned home with TWO Reserve Champion titles.   The first, earned on a rainy Friday September 11th evening, was for 3rd Level Open / Professional.

The second, earned on a much brighter Sunday September 13th morning, was for the 3rd Level Freestyle / Kur.   The music used was a selection of three German Folk Songs edited by Kimberley.

To read more about the creation of Jeddien's first Freestyle Kur, the season's leadup to the show, and the show itself, check out Kimberley's Dressage Queen Blog.

Once again, Jeddien has completed qualification for the USDF Region 8 Dressage Championships.   However, this year, she qualified for 2 Championships.   She will be contesting Third Level Open as well as the 3rd Level Freestyle to Music!

Kearsarge Meadows now has an Official Horse Farm Blog.   Followers will enjoy a variety of news about life on the farm.

After various tests, including walking barefoot in treated footing, we treated our 70x160 foot indoor arena with 2400 pounds of "Mag Flakes".   Since then, our indoor arena has been 100% dust free and looking like it had been recently watered.   We highly recommend this Magnesium Chloride product and would be happy to show it to any farm owners who are considering upgrading their own arenas.

A Great 2008 Show Season!

Now that winter is underway, we can reflect back on a successful 2008 show season.   Our KWPN Dutch WB mare Jeddien once again did well at the 2008 USDF Region 8 Championships at 3rd Level Open, as well as in the 3rd Level Sweepstakes, and is already half qualified for 2009.   Piper made his USA show debut this season, starting off as a very timid novice, and closed the season out at the NEDA Fall Festival in Saugerties NY where he really rose to the big occasion.   Such a little star!

Summer is here at last!   We have grass in the pastures and lovely groomed riding trails.   And so far, the winds and dry air have keep the bugs and mosquitoes to a minimum.

USDF Region 8 Dressage competition season is now well underway.   Our KWPN Dutch Warmblood mare Jeddien quickly qualified for the 3rd Level Open Championships with successful rides at the NEDA Spring Show and Beland Stables May Show.

Our KWPN Dutch Warmblood gelding Piper is now officially a competition dressage horse once again, having good success at the Mystic Valley Hunt Club competition in Connecticut.

You can track Piper's training and competition progress on the online diary / blog at "dressage-queen.blogspot.com".

Big Ben is now a gelding!   Yes, our 2006 Tangelo x Burggraaf KWPN Dutch WB, out of our imported Ster KWPN mare, Marja, has been gelded.   Our thanks to the folks at TNT Equine for doing such a fine job.   While bred to be a top quality showjumper, Ben is showing all the signs of being a future Equestion Medals or Maclay horse.   He has the size, the style, character and paces to take him to the top of the Big Eq world or dressage.   You'll find more about Ben on the Horses For Sale page.

"Big Ben" is officially for sale.   A 20 minute video of Ben is now available for viewing online or via DVD upon request.

Just in time for New Hampshire's snowiest December in many years, the 70x160 foot indoor arena has been renovated.   Like the outdoor arena, the indoor now has sand and Rubber Recycle's Surefoot rubber.

Competing at the Mystic Valley Hunt Club in Connecticut, Kimberley & Jeddien completed the qualifications for Kimberley's USDF Bronze Medal Rider's Award.

In their USDF Region 8 Championship debut at Saugerties NY, Jeddien and Kimberley came THIRD in the 3rd Level Open Championships!

Kearsarge Meadows hosted a clinic with saddler Anthony Cooper for a day of saddle fitting & adjustment.   Next spring, we will have Tony back out to Warner again.

The Olympic sized 20x60 metre outdoor dressage arena at Kearsarge Meadows has been fully renovated to include a permanent border and updated footing.   Selecting Rubber Recycle's Surefoot, the arena now has sand and rubber.

Competing for a second time at GMHA in Vermont, Kimberley & Jeddien are now fully qualified for the USDF Region 8 Championships at 3rd Level.   They also came 2nd in their debut at 4th Level earning their first qualifying score towards their USDF Silver Medal Rider's Award.   Great success!

Kimberley & Jeddien returned to the competition arena after a two and a half year absence.   Competing at GMHA in Vermont, they earned half qualification for the USDF Regionals.

Dates for Kearsarge Meadows' 2007 Series of Dressage Test Riding Clinics have been set:   April thru October on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

We are now accepting new winter boarders!

We are hiring!   Contact us if you want to spend time around horses while earning cash.

Groundwork Dressage Clinics are now being held every Sunday.   Join the fun while working towards creating a calmer, happier dressage or riding horse.   Play with poles, cavallettis, cones, tarps, and more.   Work on your relationship on the ground, then enjoy the benefits from the saddle.

We are proud to announce that our resident trainer, Kimberley Edelmann, has successfully passed the American Riding Instructors Association ARICP Exams to earn certification at "Level III - Dressage".

Jeddien has produced her first foal, a fabulously flashy filly.   Little Bea is destined to follow in the hoofprints of her dam as one of Kimberley's successful dressage partners.

Marja delivers the goods!   Big Ben was born, arriving at a full height of 11 hands (44 inches).   Imprint training was done at birth by the vet, our farrier, and ourselves.   Daily handling and frequent trims by Adam will help insure that this big friendly colt will be a gentle giant.

Marja, a large beautiful 1994 Ster KWPN Dutch Warmblood broodmare, arrives from Holland into the United States.   She is carrying her 7th foal, this one by Tangelo.   Marja arrived looking well and settled right into her new life at Kearsarge Meadows.

Kearsarge Meadows, a newly formed horse boarding & training operation in Warner, New Hampshire, opens its doors to new boarders.   Staff are also being hired.

Kearsarge Meadows, LLC is registered with the Secretary of State in New Hampshire.   "Runaway Farm" is no more.

Georg & Kimberley Edelmann take ownership of the horse farm in Warner NH known as "Runaway Farm".   Runaway Farm was most recently owned and operated by Claire Talbot.   Other past owners include the Garrity's, the Lionetti's, and Anne Hunt, all of whom ran the property as a horse farm.   Going further back in history the property housed the Goldengay's, the Tully's, and the Sargent family who included some of the town's founding fathers.
