Not necessarily. FF horses do tend to be on the tall side, but foal height does not necessarily indicate adult height, as foals can be born at a range of sizes (percentages of adult height). So just because babies are born big doesn’t mean they’ll end up big (or vice-verse).
I love the name Blazing Apples! Congrats on all the healthy foals.
I thought about it after I said it. Lol. I feel for the mares this year though, considering all the 9+ babies and a lot 10+ , lol.
I did notice after you said that, some born that big have predicted heights at/or under 16h.
Thanks everyone for all the kind words. CDS has finally brought their breeding season to a close. We have the last to introduce now…
[color=red]Blue Skys At Night (WCh. Nightfight § X Ch. I’m Not Blue)
9.2H Blue Roan Filly
A BLUE ROAN Nightfight filly! Woo! I was super excited to see he got a filly with some color. Not that I’m opposed to the black ones, they are gorgous, but I just love blue roans. First foal of this 2yo G1 winning mare. We are hoping an early maturing mare will make a young monster with this pair.
[color=blue]Bridge Jumper (ICh.Unabridged X Ch. Bold Lady (S))
9.0H Black Colt with 2 stocking and sock and a snip
Half to MSW Ch. So Slew Me and MSW GCh. Definitly Bold. Unique lines, it will be interesting to see what this cross does.
[color=blue]Color Me Latino (GCh. Latino Mix X Telltheconductor)
9.2H Brown Colt with 3 white socks and a star
This will be an interesting cross. I like that this stallion had a successful 2 and 3yo career. Should go well with this mare.
[color=blue]Dublin Eclipse (Nch. Carrowmore X Eclipse This (B))
9.3H Chestnut colt with minimal white
He is half to 6 winners. We’ll see if this pair steps it up a noch.
[color=red]Grabar (Invasor X Ebony Fires (B))
9.3H Bay Filly
Just trying something new. I know this mare has some MSW she want’s to throw.
[color=blue]Lucky Night (WCh. Nightfight § X Make Me Lucky (B))
9.2H Blood Bay Colt
Nightfight has been making some mosters with Cigar lines which is why we wanted to see what he would throw with this Lucky Cigar mare. She lost her two previous foals, both Nightfights, but the third one turned out perfect. It was his “Lucky Night”.
[color=red]Who’s My Daddy (Created)
9.1H Dark Grey Filly with white on 3 feet
She is just a point redemtion, but super cute.
[color=blue]Sky Shredder (NCh. Carrowmore X Ch. Scarlet Skies)
10.1H Chestnut Colt
Not thought went into this breeding, though I do like the lines. Scarelt is still just a maiden mare so it will be fun to see how he turns out.
So I ended up with 62 healthy foals this year. 28 Fillys and 34 Colts. We lost 3 foals, a mare died, and 4 mares retired.
Like I said, a very eventful year and we took a huge blow by losing double platinum bred Gazelle’s foal by Spock, but we bred her back to Nightfight for a QUADRUPLE platinum hit. Fingers crossed for a heathly foal next year.
Congrats you have some gorgeous babies! I’m still waiting on all 3 of my NF babies along with 14 others! Need to start dosing them with castor oil! Lol
Congratulations on a healthy colt from Unabridged! I love the name! I wish you good luck with him.
Thanks all!
WELLLLLLL…We thought the foaling season was over but it looks like someone just had to pop out early…
Born December 16th we have [color=red]Classic Boo Boo, (NCh. I’m A Classic X Nanana Nah Boo Boo), a 8H bay filly.
We are disappointed that it had to be our I’m A Classic foal since he has been retired but I guess we’ll just have to plan her career a little differently…
I have one mare due 31st December, I hope that she will keep her foal one day longer congrats anyway!
Congrats on an adorable filly - sorry she had to come so early!
What a tiny little girl! I wish you luck with her!
Glad she’s safe at least.
Aww congrats LOVE THE NAME!!
I have one due dec 31 too, she better keep her legs crossed!
I also have one due December 31st. I hope she’s nice and stubborn and gives me a late baby! Glad the foal was born healthy, though!
Thanks all.
Yeah, very happy she is healthy at least…though very tiny.
