Happy New Year, people! I LOVE the foaling season and when there is a foal on January 1st!
ANXIOUS PREOCCUPIED
NCh. Cop in Morgue x NCh. Winter Queen - FFCh. Foolhardy (S)
7.3h dapple grey colt
1/2 brother to Ch. Balanga.
He’s the 6th foal of my millionaire mare, and a very special one, because I also bred his sire. Time flies!
Anxious preoccupied (in psychology) is an attachment style, when person in a relationship behaves in ways that seem desperate, insecure, demanding, possessive, jealous, or controlling toward their partner (a very short and simplistic definition). It’s one of attachment patterns which we develop as children.

8.2h bay colt
First foal for dam. I first named him Agadez (the destination for Dakar Rally in 1997), but renamed to Al Duwadimi - a town on this year’s route. I hope these colts will run as well as my first stud qualified horse, the now retired NCh. Al Mundhir!

EYHAY ISTERMAY
ICh. Dr. Evil (S) x GCh. Eerschay - Frankel
8.2h flea-bitten grey colt
First foal for my homebred mare. She is also one of my favourite horses and I’m planning to name all her foals in Pig Latin. Hopefully I’ll get better at it eventually! This name means “hey mister” (and eerschay means cheers).
DISILLUSIONED
FFCh. Black Cherry (B) x Ch. Fool For Flowers - FFCh. I’m No Fool
9.3h chestnut filly
Second foal for dam. I decided to breed Fool For Flowers to a short stallion because she’s huge! Nice to also have two FFChampions in the pedigree.

A big black filly today.
EXPECTED
Thunder Snow x NCh. Wiry Feeling - WCh. As You Wish (B)
9.3h black filly
Funny thing: the “forum post format” often gives the dam a lower title than she has, and sometimes skips titles or breeding ranks. For example, Wiry Feeling is a NCh. but the formatted text made her a GCh., Eerschay is a GCh. and it wrote that she’s a Champion. Poor girls always underestimated! It also skips the foal count usually.

Congrats on the lovely filly! Also, the forum post format has been messing with stallion titles, too. Not sure what’s causing it but I had the problem last foaling season as well.

Possibly! Just realized that I’ve been using real life stallions a lot.
FAR FROM ANY ROAD
NCh. Kemistree x Ch. Nightingale Island - ICh. Ring of Fire (S)
9.1h light bay colt
Named after this wonderful song! Did you watch True Detective?
Nightingale Island used to have foals born later in the year, so their names start with Y or Z 
we’ll see if waiting a season to breed her earlier will change something. So far she produced two winners but I retired both.
Far From Any Road is 4x4 inbred to Highland Rogue and 3x3 inbred to Seabiscuit.

I just had to do a Space Avenue here, but I also had to keep it alphabetical
HIS SPACE AVENUE
NCh. Space Chips (S) x Ch. On The Avenue - ICh. Dr. Evil (I)
10.2h dark bay colt
I claimed On The Avenue from Gintara Lodge, as a 7yo racehorse. She won the claimer, with a fascinating SF: -14. Other horses got SF: 0 in this race. I guess they were standing still and she was going backwards. What a show!
