Half Moons Chasing Orion/Trey
Posted on 19. Jul, 2010 by rusti in Featured Horse, Morabs
It’s taken eleven years but we now have our Third generation, 50/50 Morab . His name is Half Moons Chasing Orion / Trey. We call him Trey. As far as we know Trey is the first 50/50 third generation in the United States and Canada.
We started looking for a 2nd generation stallion quite sometime ago. Finally we found Night Chase On Broadway, owned by John and Carroll Norris. They live in Floradale, Ontario. So, on November 1st, 2009 Jim and I set out for Floradale with our mare, LM Red Flare. She took the LONG ride very well. Even during the huge wind and rain storm that we found ourselves in as we very slowly moved along in the traffic going around Toronto. Turned out that storm was a tornado! That was something we had never seen before.
We did however arrive safely at John and Carroll’s barn. Flare was absolutely fine. We got her settled in and met Chase. Then we all went back to the Norris’ for a wonderful supper and wonderful company. They were kind enough to let us stay the night at their house. The next morning we all got up early had breakfast and we were off to the barn again to check on Flare. She was perfectly content . Flare spent the winter months in Canada enjoying the company of the horses there. The people who John and Carroll had helping them at the barn fell in love with Flare also, and got some riding time on her as well as spoiling her. 
We went back to get her the end of April.
This was Flare’s first foal. The pregnancy went perfectly. On March 7th, 2010 about 12:30 am Half Moons Chasing Orion/Trey was born. Everything went extremely well. After Flare figured out what she was supposed to do with this little one the whole thing has progressed very nicely.
Trey , at 4 months old now, is growing into a gorgeous boy. As you can see.
He and Jim are very good buddies.
Featured Horse – Half Moon’s Odyssey

Half Moon’s Odyssey
Born: 6-26-00
Half Moon's Odyssey
Spectrum Rising Star x SRF Fahim Starziz
Morab 50/50
Now Owned by Erin in Plainfield, VT
Erin received Odyssey on October 3rd, 2007, when he was 7. She had only been riding for about 6 months at the time, and that is about how long he had been saddle trained. She says they were learning together which was really cool.
She took lesson on him 3 days a week, and rode him about 5 days a week. They were jumping the following spring. He was boarded at Allenwood Stables for a year while a barn was being build at home. He went home in the spring of 2008. Odyssey lives with two other horses, Jasmine, a 6 year-old Morab and Jubilee, a 10 year-old Appendix.
Erin and her sister ride around 5 acres of hayfield and on the dirt roads near their house. They go on a lot of trail rides with friends who live 2 miles from them. Erin also does quite a bit of jumping with Odyssey. Sometimes she setup a few little jumps on the property and other times she rides him down to a friends barn and uses her indoor arena. Erin also does a lot of bareback riding, even bareback jumping.
Both Odyseey and Erin love to go for a nice gallop. It seems sometimes, like he as unlimited energy.
