Thanks to Pearl Cove Farm, the 2 year old filly, Chicama Dawn and the yearling, Chappaquiddick Charm arrived May 17, 2010 in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The professionals who work at Lucky Stars Stables were amazed how quiet and well trained these young horses are. The natural horsemanship philosophies Pia practices are evident in their behaviors and responses. The vet who checked the horses before they were purchased and shipped west also commented on how well Pia has done with these young horses. It has been a joy since they arrived.

Deb Dominici - July 2010

I met Pia a few months after losing my Westphalen/Tb cross. I had been looking online for a couple of months for animals that had similar breeding, when I found Pia's farm. Pia and I communicated regularly about Wampum and I finally decided to travel to the Martha's Vineyard and determine if this was the horse for me. She picked my husband and myself up from the ferry and we spent an afternoon getting to know Wampum. I loved his quiet nature and eye, he let me handle him, pick up his feet etc. and never put up a fuss. While we were there I asked to see her other 2 year old Moshup. Moshup seemed more interested in the strangers amongst him and posed for several pictures. I asked if they got along well as they were foaled a day apart, and she said that yes they were always together, and offered to put them in the same pasture so we could watch them. Sure enough both Wampum and Moshup trotted and cantered in perfect step, they seemed to know exactly when their brother would change gait. Sadly the time came to leave the island and I told Pia I would contact her with my decision.
On the ferry home my husband told me I should consider buying both as they were so attached to each other and it seemed a shame to separate them. I had visions of the perfect "Pas de Deux". We contacted Pia and made plans to pick up "the boys." Both were excellent for their vet. exam. The vet commented several times what good natured boys they were and that they had obviously been handled daily. Pia made the arrangements to take a trailer off the island and let us stay with her overnight while we waited for a ferry back. She loaded the boys on a trailer and took them off the island. We met her on the mainland, took them off her trailer and put them on another trailer, and left for Maine. Neither horse seemed at all stressed from the ferry ride and changing trailers. They have been in Maine for a little over 4 months and have become favorites at the barn where they are boarded. Several people stop by to pat their noses and say hi and the boys seem happy with the attention. This spring we will start their dressage training. Both Wampum and Moshup have nice conformation which gives them an easy fluid motion that one would expect from a warmblood. What pleases me most about them is their disposition. I did not want animals that would be over 16 hands and hard to handle, I wanted gentlemen who would be my lifetime dance partners. I am pleased that I chose Pia's geldings, they have found their "forever home."

From Pam's husband: We found Wampum and Moshup to be rugged, athletic, elegant, and good natured. Pia has selected Tb mares which cross well with warmblood stallions. Her website gives an accurate representation of the animals for sale.
