We are so pleased to announce that Erin Silver is purchasing Scandias Lady Quietude (pictured) to be her mare for future breeding and showing. We will miss this lovely mare but are glad to keep her in the Pacific Northwest family and could not have asked for a better situation for her with Erin, especially since Erin showed her mother Mademoiselle to a Reserve World Championship in 2005.
We still have two more awesome young mares for sale, Scandias Sonata and Scandias Private Dancer (in foal) in our quest to end our days as a breeding farm.

From Carol Dombrowsky -
One of my favorite all time Morgan stallions was US Menmar shown here in a drawing by
April Rose-Wilson
. I was fortunate to meet him when Janet Gass bought him in 1972. My mare FCM Lei Lonnie that is due to foal in April has him in her dams lines. He was a very beautiful stallion and I will never forget the joy I felt for Janet to get this guy.
April Rose-Wilson
- Menmar was one of my all time favorites as well. I remember his big, deep brown expressive eyes! There was no question what breed he was. A grand old fellow when I first saw him, and he was forever seared into my memory! The drawing I did that you posted, I took to Janet the last time I saw Menmar before his passing.
