96 Foals: 46 Colts | 50 Fillies | 2 Stillborn - 12 due
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 [color=red]Ch. Amatus[/color] and [color=red]Ch. Light of Eärendil[/color] for over a year with great success. Granddam is half to FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood. Light Up Your Life will visit Fight the Twilight for 2024.

Two weeks late, Wizeman is the ninth and final foal for For the Win who retired shortly after. Wizeman is half to MSW [color=red]Ch.

We acquired For the Win 8 years ago and she hit the board 16 of 19 times despite not racing until she was five, and set 2 speed records. We own her daughter, Carry the Day, as well as her 2yo and yearling.

Naturally a July foal arrives, not the very overdue June foal.

*Reset the count to only include horses who were actually born, not bought. That’s why my numbers never matched (oops).

I especially love the last two names!
