2004 Dam Award of Excellence

            Dixie Blue Duchess, now 24, is by Findeln Blue Danube and out of CC Dawn. Bred by Coleman Cowan, she was foaled while on lease to Wayland Carlisle at Heart of Dixie, hence her Dixie prefix.All of her foals carry the Gayfields prefix. Each contributed to the 8058 Dam points which won the first Dam Award of Excellence for Dixie Blue Duchess. Three of her foals have been awarded Individual Legion of Merit awards.

Shown primarily by Ron Schwartz, Call The Lawyer earned performance points in ridden pleasure and currently has 2823 points. She is now a broodmare at Gayfields.

            Gayfields Call the Cops, a frequent combined driving competitor, has 2842 WPCSA points won in hand, under saddle and in harness. Owned by Jackie Verkuyl, Cops has an Individual Legion of Merit.  His stud duties have resulted in winners all over the west coast and beyond.
