 
In
1997, as I looked for mares suitable to restart the Vintage
Farm breeding program, I discovered a 5-year-old mare and fell
in love with her movement and her soul. The owners graciously
agreed to sell the mare to me. This mare is Dean Mt Fine Lace
(Triton Applause x Dean Mt Merry Belle). Later I was able to
purchase two of her full sisters, Dean Mt Nikkoletta and Dean
Mt Cherry Delite. While these mares are individuals, they each
have that serene kindness that I saw and admired in Lacey. They
are calm and yet highly responsive. They are also excellent
mothers, teaching their foals their calm and trusting ways.
I owe much to their breeder, Joan Crice.

Dark Chestnut Mare
An ideal broodmare with a Cadillac ride.
Lacey has been shown lightly in dressage at schooling shows
with scores as high as 71%.
She is a steady driving horse and the most comfortable ride
on the trail. She has
consistently produced better than herself.

Nikkoletta is a full-bodied, well-muscled mare with exceptionally sound leg conformation and a kind disposition. She was not ridden much as a young horse but turned out to be a great trail horse who is happy to carry even a young or inexperienced rider. She has excelled at her broodmare duties, producing the lovely foals shown below.
