After some thought, we’ve renamed him Ask for the Moon. Thanks for your help!
Cute names! 
Like the names!
Well, the fillies have almost tied the colts…it’s 13 to 12 colts.
Here’s who we’ve welcomed since April.
[color=blue]Null and Void
NCh. Void (B) x Steadfast Lover (B)
9.1hh Black Colt
1/2 to MSW GCh. One Star Affair, also a homebred. Was considering naming him Null Pointer, but figured that’d be just too geeky even for me.
[color=red]Integral
ICh. Magic Glory (B) x NCh. Unconditional
9.1hh Bay Filly
2nd foal of dam. Was planning on doing a whole series of Unconditional _____ for this mare (e.g. Unconditional Surrender), after her first foal, Unconditional Love. Unfortunately, due to character limits, it wasn’t a very practical motif. So, I played with the notion of “limitless”…and used the calculus operation(?) of the integral. It was only then that I realized the double meaning. =)
[color=red]Wild Cherry
ICh. Dark Continent x Cherry Flavored (Chicken Soup x Katorado)
7.3hh Bay Filly
This is a name with which I’m not completely happy. Nonetheless, I’d like to fit it in with a cherry/sick motif that I’ve somehow unintentionally managed to make. 1/2 siblings include Black Cherry, Cough Syrup and Soupy. Any ideas would be appreciated. Otherwise she gets the name Clogged Sinuses. MWAHAHAHAHA.
Glad you decided to stick with Null and Void, Cat! I really like it
For the Dark Continent filly how about:
Cherry Glow
Scarlet Fever (hehe…)
Myisha Cherry (her album is called “Sick” lol)
Cherry Whiskey (one of my favorites)
Such cute names!
My ideas for your filly…
Cherry Bomb
Maraschino Cherry
Cherry on Top
Isn’t there some old 80’s song, “She’s My Cherry Pie”? Maybe that, or some lyrics from it?
Thanks for the name suggestions. We’ve gone with Scarlet Fever. =)
[color=blue]At First Sight ICh. Candidate x Romance Me (S)
Foaled 4/18
8.1hh Bay Colt
1/2 to Ch. Not Another Mare
[color=red]Take the High Road FFCh. High Chances (B) x Take the Challnege (S)
Foaled 5/5
9.1h Dapple Gray Filly
We’re super excited about High Chances’ foals, now that his foals have started running the way they have. Almost a third of his foals that have raced are winners–this coming for a stallion who didn’t peak until he was a 4yo.
[color=red]Night Break ICh. Dark Continent x Daybreak Dawn (B)
Foaled 5/7
9.0hh Liver Chestnut Filly
Easy Come Easy Go WCh. Strike It Rich x Fleeting Beauty (S)
Foaled 5/31
8.2hh Grey Filly
Fleeting Beauty’s on a role with these grey foals. Her only non-grey foal to date is her most successful one, GCh. Striking Beauty. Easy Come Easy Go is 3/4s to GCh. Striking Beauty, and 1/2 to Ch. Forgotten Road and Ch. Saturnalia.
Fleeting Beauty has been bred to ICh. Dark Continent.
A random question (and not to interrupt your well-earned gloating), but I haven’t mastered how to link to horses’ profiles from the message boards. What’s the code for it?
If you look at the two rows of buttons when you post, you want the one that’s in the second row, second from the left. It looks like a little globe. If you click on it, you’ll get something that looks like but with square brackets [ ]. You can then either put the link in between the two URLs (e.g. http://www.somelink. com) or you can do it like so <url=http://www.somelink. com>Text that will be turned into a link
Hope this helps. =)
Three more. Only one more to go!
[color=red]Devilinthedetails Devil His Due x Nugget
June 2nd, 2014
8.1hh Blood Bay Filly
Nugget has been bred to Highland Wizard.
[color=blue]Scattered Mercury Dark Continent x Liquid Gold (S)
June 3, 2014
8.3hh Chestnut Colt
Liquid Gold has been bred to Long Live the King.
[color=red]Lost a Sock Strider x Joey Three Socks
June 10, 2014
9.0hh Strawberry Roan Filly
Due to difficulties foaling, Joey Three Socks will not be re-bred. She produced stallion and MSW, NCh. Black Warrior and SP Ch. Ozemandius.
Well we are finally done! It’s been an up and down foaling season–we’ve suffered 1 still-birth, lost 1 mare and retired another. So, a bit more tragic than usual, but hopefully next year will be an improvement. We have 17 fillies and 17 colts, so a perfect split down the middle. I’m so glad the fillies caught up!
[color=blue]War Memorial ICh. Dark Continent x Symbolic (S)
Foaled: 7/4
9.0h Bay Colt
Symbolic has been bred to ICh. Long Live the King
Next year we are expecting 46 foals, including the following maiden mares: Broken-Down Nag, Ch. Continental, Fool’s Gold, Ch. Hannah Banana, Ch. Lonely River, Ch. Molly is a Mule, Primiere, Ch. Slay the House, Ch. Somethininthewater, NCh. Sultry Woman, Sunday Joy and Unnamed.
Next year will also see DC’s foals hit the track, and Long Live the King’s foals hit the ground. So, we’re looking forward to another exciting year. =D
