All June babies officially accounted for! Just down to two overdue May foals and 7 due in July and that will wrap up the 2023 foaling season for us. Most of our June/July foaling mares will not be bred for 2024, as I’d like to “reset” their foaling dates. Not like I’m in desperate need of foals, anyways.

Just purchased the dam in foal back in March but I’ve been leasing her SW half-sisters Ch. Amatus and Ch. Light of Eärendil for over a year with great success. Granddam is half to FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood. Light Up Your Life will visit Fight the Twilight for 2024.
