Hi Fredericka,
Here is one of Cyrano in a "Mardi Grau" costume I made for him, for "The Day of the Horse" in Woodside California. We had a great time, Cyrano is so personable,
he loved being with 350 other horses and their people! Boy did everyone love him, they wanted to know everything about the breed and two paople asked
if they could buy him! Sorry no! Just another update! Janet

Cyrano's Garden Stable

He is amazing...he loves deeply, laughs loudly and loves playing a good joke on me! He is full of the best kind of mischief! He is so smart and really wants to communicate his feelings

Needs and wants. He wants to build a bridge of understanding, he is highly motivated to make himself known to me. He has a sensitivity that has moods, he tries very hard to be considerate.

I have to carry business cards with FWF web site on them when I ride because everyone is so interested in Cyrano, and his breeding. The other people I ride with get noticeably irritated with the constant attention and questions. I have found the card, with a picture of Cyrano on it helps them locate the breed and become educated. I like promoting the Georgian Grandes!

On the West coast it is not known. Janet

Hi to you wonderful horse breeders!

My name is Janet; my husband David and I just purchased "Flying "W" Farms Rivers of Fire" from Suzy. We are thrilled to have this stunning 8 year old as my husband first horse.

I am contacting you because I am now becoming interested in finding an "International Georgian Grande" gelding for myself out of the same stallion as "Cyrano". (Firedance)

I am interested in mainly trail riding and am looking for a horse that might not be enjoying a dressage career, one that needs a change and a fantastic home. I love what I see in your breeding! I attach a picture of Cyrano at the San Jose Christmas Parade, we had purchased him 8 days before the parade and it was the 5th time I had ever ridden him. He did fantastic as my
"Hussar" mount and kept good time with the other eight horses. The parade served 130,000 people! He is an amazing horse, I am sure his father (Firedance) is very missed. Janet

Hello
We are the proud owners of Flying Farms Rivers Of Fire - a.k.a. CYRANO! He has just turned 6 - having his birthday June 2nd! We adore this gentle giant .... he now stands at around 18.2 HH!!!! Everyone always asks about his breed and we proudly tell them about Georgian Grandes. He was initially ridden by our oldest daughter Philippa, who took him, in full training through his first couple of years under saddle. She rode him in the dressage arena at 1st level and came home with every blue ribbon! This past year he has been with our middle daughter, only15 yrs old, and she, been a little less experienced, rode him at Training level, and together they achieved the Novice Champion Dressage award for the 2006/2007 IEL season! - plus many other blue ribbons! I thought you might like to see some pictures of our "Big Boy"!!! (They show him with Gabriella - our middle daughter)
Enjoy.....
