This beautiful yearling filly, Anastasia MPE was bred and is owned by MPE Arabians, San Gennaro, Italy.  Her owners, our friends, Emilio and Antonio Manzi, have entrusted her with us and we are in the process of planning her show career.  She arrived at Hawk's Flight Farm a few weeks ago and is loving the Florida winter weather with her new friends!

Hawk's Flight Partners, LLC is thrilled to announce that Tapestry EP, "Tia", will be the month of February 2017 calendar photo for the month of April.

Tia was sired by Elite AF and is out of our True Colours daughter, HF Exquisite Colours.

This magnificent stallion is Elite AF.  Elite AF was sired by the legendary stallion, DA Valentino.  His dam is the lovely, champion-producing mare, Aria Elita.  Hawk's Flight Farm is proud to be in partnership with Arabian Futures and the Hawk's Flight Partners, LLC for some future foals.  Elite has the size, stretch and movement that we have been looking for to cross with our Amir Jamaal daughters and granddaughters.

It is with a heavy heart that we had to bury our beloved Gabriel today.  Gabe died from complications after a surgical procedure and we are just devastated by this loss.

It was too soon to earn those angel wings and I miss you at my side every day...

HF Hot Chocolate at 6 months - note the color!

And today with his new owner, Victoria Willcox on one of their 50-mile endurance rides here in Florida!  Victoria, thank you for "taking the reins" and the time to understand "Dare", as he is now called, and are now reaping the benefits of a true partnership - good luck this year on the endurance circuit!

It is always wonderful to hear how Amir Jamaal's offspring are doing in their various parts of the world.  Featured to the left is our friend, Shannon Lewis and her 2008 chestnut mare, Star Minuet.  

"Mini" is out of a Polish-bred mare and is shown here with Shannon in Colorado taking a course in training for a Mounted Police group.  They also are great trail partners! Another example of the versatility of the Arabian horses...

It is always heart-warming to see an Arabian from one's breeding program go to, not only a wonderful new owner - Jamie Sealander - but to also see that horse have a "job".

I am really looking forward to seeing Jamie Ashley - pictured riding HF Bella Amira - on the dressage circuit!  We will have a huge cheering section for Bella, Jamie and Jamie!

I received a message on Facebook from a friend, Meisha,  I had not heard from in years.  She shared with me that her son, Jonathan, had written an essay that had won first place in a writing contest.

Meisha sent it to me and related that the arena Jonathan was describing was our arena...I read the essay and tears came to my eyes.

Meisha has given me permission to share this with you - I think you will find it as beautiful as I did - congratulations Jonathan!!! (and isn't he adorable?)

Hawk's Flight Farm is thrilled to see the future unfolding with our talented friend/photographer, Jamie Sealander, as she embarks on training with her mare, HF Bella Amira.  They will be pursuing the show ribbons in the world of Western Dressage.

We adore our barn manager, Jacob, and were excited to see his adorable son - Walker!!  This is the coolest shot taken by our friend, Sam Johnson.

We are sure that Arabians will be involved in his childhood...

It is with great excitement that we announce our partnership with Leanne Todd and Wil Graham of Aubrey, Texas on our lovely Amir Jamaal daughter - HF Lady Bonbon - aka - Lady Dragon!!!

This mare is always amped up and it will be wonderful to see how she channels all that energy in the perfomance ring!

Cannot wait to see how the future unfolds for this team!

Many thanks to Karen Abbatista for the unbelievable scores with HF Cali Daaba in the OPEN dressage shows recently.

Her scores have been in the high 60's - not bad for her first two shows!  We look forward to seeing what she can do at the Tampa Thanksgiving show against her fellow Arabians...

This spring we were thrilled to be able to help our wonderful friends, Sandy and Charlie Miller of Sanchas Arabians, foal out their mare, HF Magnum Antares  - aka "Torrie".

The sire - pictured here - is HF Winning Colours - by True Colours and out of our Amir Jamaal daughter, HF Amira de Lis.  It was a profound moment when Torrie gave birth to an incredible bay colt as he represents four generations of our breeding program.

SA Vivid Colours - as the foal has been named - will be one colt to watch as he makes his debut in the show ring someday!
