Moonset's Reflection (Whit Akers Sensation x Highmeadows Bluemist), 1989-2007.

Our wonderful mare 'Reef' - dam of Rocket, Honey and Hanah, passed away  July 17, 2007 from an aute case of colic.  She was a big, easy-going mare and we will miss her.  This is our tribute.

Reef was born July 31, 1989 and became a part of our program after the purchase of her son WNC Rocket Man.  We were so impressed with Rocket's abilities that we had to have his Mom as well.  Reef passes on her size, athletic conformation and steady disposition to her foals.

Her foals are smart, tractable, tall and are able to compete in the larger 'open' multi-breed market.   Below are some special comments by her previous owners and Diana Wold, Reef's last owner.  Then a list of Reef's foals.  Diana had three of her lovely offspring, a gelding and two fillies...WNC Rocket Man, Merriewold Hanah and Merriewold Ima Honey Moon.

Comments by Claudia Grimes of Windcrest Farm, Reef's 1st Breeder:

"Reef was so very special to us.  She was our first broodmare, as well as, a companion and show horse.  She produced several beautiful babies for us and her oldest was our first Grand National Top 10 horse.  She opened up a while new world to us, but even more, she was our special friend that greeted us each morning, gave kids pony rides, took care of all the babies, took Mike on his first saddle seat ride and shared the foaling of her babies exclusively with him.  She was the bestest of moms, teaching her babies all the right things and disciplining them as only a fantastic broodmare could do.  She taught them to love people, understand our requests and to tolerate whatever we asked of them.  She will be so missed, but her legacy lives on in her get!" 

"Eleanor Brackman owned her first foal, Windcrest Legacy, until she passed away.  Sandy and Calvin Sessnick took "Legs" to Nationals a couple of years and she placed well in the hunter division." 

"The next foal was Rocket that, of course, you own.  Then came WNDC Compadre's Reflection (x Holiday Compadre) owned by Rick Gaeckle and Shara Davis.  He is doing great (placed with his Junior owner at Nationals last year) and I will tell him.  He does hunt and western and just started dressage." 

"Next was WNDC Peace of the Action (x War and Peace).  We sold him as a yearling and they are using him for stud in Penn.  Next was WNDC Eclipses's Reflection that we showed at Nationals with Calvin and Sandy as a yearling.  He placed in his futurity.  We showed him ourselves as a 3 year old in hunt and he was 8th in his world futurity and 3rd at OKC in stallions and geldings hunt.  We sold him to a lady in Utah last summer (I will contact her)." 

"Then, WNDS Magnum Force, which is owned by Jennifer Carr.  She has shown her English Pleasure very successfully and now at 4 is changing her to hunt and she looks awesome...That is the list of foals."
