[color=red]COHIBA
NCh. Lord Nelson x Eastern Journey - GCh. Simply Heroic (S)
8.2h dark bay filly
First foal for SP Eastern Journey. She also foaled a couple days early! Named after a cigar brand my husband and my dad (and me!) like since Lord Nelson is by Cigar.
[color=red]1 Filly |[color=blue] 0 Colts | 74 due this year
Woke up to 2 more fillies this morning, and unintentionally picked 2 S names lol We seem to be favoring the fillies this year, and bays, and being born early lol All 3 fillies were due in a couple days, yet I still have foals from the 1st that are due hahaha oh well! I’ll take it.
[color=red]SIESTA
NCh. Clockstopper (B) x Ch. Easy Living - Created
8.2h chestnut filly
2nd foal for SW Easy Living, who was bred on lease and goes back to Whisperwood. Siesta means “nap” and I felt it was fitting for a mare named Easy Living.
[color=red]SANTORINI
ICh. City Upon a Hill x One Hot Mess - Ch. Rumor Has It (B)
8.1h bay filly
First foal for SP One Hot Mess. Santorini is kind of on a hill lol so I went with that.
[color=red]3 Filly |[color=blue] 0 Colts | 71 due this year
Well, I’m just glad our trend of coming early did not hit till the beginning of the year. None of our foals have come on their due date, but all have been early. Still waiting on the ones that are being lazy. Our massive 10.2hh colt is a week early, can’t imagine how big he’d be if he was on time or late!
[color=blue]KINGOFTHENORTH
ICh. Prince Of Wonder (S) x Ch. All Points North (S) - GCh. Backseat Driver (B)
9.0h bay colt
Dam has 4 winners from 4 racers, so I’m hoping for good things for this guy. Both parents favored the 8-10f over turf, so I hope this is a successful crossing.
All Points North heads to our upcoming auction.
[color=red]GILDED QUEEN
ICh. Long Live The King (S) x Inca Queen - ICh. Gilded Saint
10.0h dark bay filly
Big filly from big momma Inca Queen! I’m glad I bred her to Long Live the King since he was retired this year. Inca Queen was a steeplechase mare, and Long Live the King did well over fences so I’m hoping its a good cross.
Inca Queen will be bred to our of our stallions but I haven’t decided who yet.
[color=blue]FIGHTING SPOON
ICh. Dr. Evil (B) x Torchbearer - FFCh. Foolhardy (B)
10.2h chestnut colt
Massive colt and first foal for Torchbearer. Funny story about his name. I was handicapping and I saw a horse named Fighting Scorpion and I thought it had said Fighting Spoon and was very disappointed to find this not to be lolol I texted Shelbie (her and I are good friends IRL) and she was like yeah you need to name a horse that. I had been super stuck on a name for this one so I just went with it. Who knows if I’ll actually keep it, but it works for now hahah
Torchbearer heads to Devil’s Walk next.
[color=blue]2 Colts | [color=red]4 Fillies | 68 due
[color=blue]WIZARD’S CHESS
NCh. Hogwarts x Lookslikethefuse (S) - Created
9.1h chestnut colt
Excited for this cross considering Lookslikethefuse has a MSW by Hogwart’s sire, Magic Glory. She was bred on a lease so she goes back to Whisperwood Acres, but just noticed she’s been retired. Glad I was able to get a foal from this silver ranked dam!
[color=blue]COPENHAGEN
NCh. Painted Raven x Hot Danish - GCh. Go For Dash (B)
9.2h bay colt
First foal for Hot Danish who had 4 wins over fences so I hope matching her up with this newbie SC stud will be a good cross. Had a lot of trouble with a name for this colt lol
Stillborn colt
ICh. To Die For x Royal Dove (B) - Created
Leased Royal Dove for the year so pretty sad to get my first stillborn on a lease.
