DRACONIA KEEP where Magic and Dreams Become Reality

December 22, 2006

WHAT A YEAR IT'S BEEN!

I can't believe it's almost Christmas. The year has just flown! With five foals and Doug finally getting his Dales filly, it's been a year of dreams coming true!

We've made fantastic new friends, and we've seen old ones. A year of continuation onto an even better New Year 2007. They knew who they are, and they know their friendships mean the world to us. They are answered prayers to wishes unspoken.

As for being ready for Christmas, Doug and I have all the presents bought, and tonight we'll wrap them. I am hoping an evening with a blazing fire, Christmas music and wrapping Santa's presents will lend me the Christmas magic.

As for next year, we have one Morgan mare confirmed in foal. It will be a quiet year, but after the busy-ness of this year, Doug and I will be happy for it. It will give us more time for riding and showing and continuing the training of a couple of our other horses.

As a cause dear to our hearts, we are excited to see the EF:JMARE Stallion Service Auction is coming along nicely. We are excited to bid and help out those beautiful old horses. The website is www.efjmare.org .

To all, Doug and the kids and I wish you health and happiness in 2007. With the morning of January 1, may Peace find you and keep you wrapped in prosperity and contentment.

Remember our doors are always open to friends and friends-we've-not-yet-met.

Happy Holidays from Draconia Keep!

Doug, Tori, Mikyla, Aleyna and Lance
