I still love Peppermint Kiss instead 
I always get Golden Horn fillies, maybe we can trade.

Fine, I changed it back

EDIT: Nope. Just discovered National Velvet somehow wasn’t taken as a name so we went that route.

Naturally all my overdue mares are keeping their legs crossed, and the foals I’m now getting aren’t due for 2-3 weeks

KNIGHT’S SPUR, 9.1h dark bay colt
Dubawi x Ch. Dixie’s Spurs - GCh. Tottenham Hotspur
I originally used this name for a foal born earlier this year, but given the dam’s name and how “spur” is usually associated with Tottenham Hotspur, I decided to do some name shuffling. Dam is half to MSW’s GCh. Superdocious, GCh. Shiloh’s Hill, GCh. Cup O’ Tea, GCh. Princess Kaiulani (dam of MSW Ch. Royal Sacred One), and gold-ranked Ch. Bonnie Blue Flag. Will visit Thunder Snow for 2026.

ICh. Starling (S) x Blodeuwedd - NCh. Carrowmore
Named after a hero in Welsh mythology. We picked up Blodeuwedd, a half-sister to ICh. What’s Your Point, last fall so very excited to see her first foal with us. Will visit Last for More for 2026.
EAGLE MOTIF, 9.3h bay filly
NCh. Explosive Motif x Northern Eagle (S) - Northern Slew (S)
Half to MSW Ch. Northern Sun, and SP’s Ch. Rites of Passage, Ch. Alleged Devil, and Sure Shot. Hoping to send her to Black Cherry.

Good Luck with Lleu, looking forward to seeing how he does on the track.
SAILORMAN’S HYMN, 8.1h dark bay colt
NCh. Nobly Regal (S) x Song of the Sea (S) - Seabiscuit (S)
Following a difficult foaling, it is with much sadness we bid an early adieu to Song of the Sea’s broodmare career as she retires to ambassador and baby sitter-only status on the farm. Song of the Sea was a personal favorite; purchased in 2020, she went on to have 11 foals, with 8 winners from 8 runners, and 4 SW’s. We own both of her MSW’s, Ch. Sea Salt and Ch. Star of the Sea.
37 Colts | 40 Fillies | 1 Stillborn | 2 Retired Mares - 6 Left to foal

Sorry to see Song of the Sea retired. Thanks for letting us lease her! We thankfully got a filly from that breeding.

Our final mares are due in June, so I was not expecting this guy’s early arrival. I should know better by now. Two left, and we’re split at an even 40:40 colts and fillies.
TIN SOLDIER, 8.3h bay colt
NCh. Von Lichtenstein (S) x Tinseltown (B) - FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (S)
Half to 1 winner from 1 runner, who is actually aimed at a stakes for his next start so hoping he can add some black type to the family. Dam is half to MSW Ch. I’m Your Demon. Won’t breed Tinseltown so we can reset her breeding date.

And that’s a wrap! Our final foal hit the ground and we end the year with 82 foals – probably one of our smallest foal crops in the last few years. I’m just not ready for what looks like 100 foals due next year… I kind of enjoyed the “smaller” crop. Oops. 
TRICK ROLLER, 9.1h dark bay filly
NCh. Worthy Victor (S) x Ch. Checking Giant - Giant’s Causeway (S)
Second foal/filly for MSW dam. Granddam produced NCh. Boldness Shows, GCh. No Sudden Moves, Crucial Move (dam of WCh. Subzero Justice), and Nonpareil (dam of NCh. Unequalled Flight). Checking Giant won’t be rebred so her breeding date can be reset.
