A mare I leased from Gust o Wind was the lucky lady to ‘pop’ and what a looker she gave!

1 filly

cute babies!! I like Tiz Brave, if you still wanted to change it TizABraveOne came to my mind.

Congratz on your NCh. Dark Demand foal… she sure is pretty… Good luck with her on the track…

and finally some more babies- these ones from 2 mares that just HAD to hold on.  One was due on the 5th of Februrary, the other shortly after that and both foaled a day apart.

So, here’s the intros!
Motivation
NCh. I’m a Classic X Jet Propulsion (created)
9.1 hands high, bay filly, snip and 2 hind ermines
Born Feb 21st
Jet’s second foal and such a contrast to her half-brother, Afterburners.

Alleyfight
WCh. Nightfight X Cobblestones (created)
10.2 hand high, black colt with star and a snip, RH coronet and LH ermine
Born Feb 22nd
Cobblestones first foal and for some reason I’m really excited about this cross.  So we will see if that is founded when this little guy makes it to the track

As for the other replies, just saw them now.  I like ‘TizaBraveOne’ so it will be changed, thank you!!!  thanks for the replies :slight_smile:

Love the name Alleyfight. He’s a nice, strong looking colt.

another one was born a while back but been hectic at home, so just announcing the little guys birth now
[color=red]Lady Vesta
Sire: Ring of Fire
Dam: Lady In Red (Crimson Lad/Vanity Fair)
8.3 hands high, light bay filly, Right Hind sock
Born March 8th

Didn’t realize this at the time, but this little filly is actually regally bred- her dam is gold rated, her sire silver rated and everything from there is silver.  So it’s going to be interesting to see how Vesta does when she reaches the track.  FYI, Vesta is the Roman goddess of fire (learned that when I watched the show Rome :slight_smile: lol)

Congrats on Lady In Red’s foal! :slight_smile: She’s cute. (Part of the reason I sold her is she kept giving me fillies :stuck_out_tongue:)

Shanthi: lol!!! I bought her cuz she is the dam to a colt that I owned when I started, Velocity- yes, I said COLT…Be interesting to see if I can get a boy out of her, lol.  Sounds like she’s like La Ville Rouge, just with the other gender, lol…La Ville Rouge threw all boys nearly, Lady In Red all girls…

another filly lol
[color=red]Final Challenge
Sire: V is Victory
Dam: At World’s End (Backseat Driver/World War III)
9.3 hand high bay filly with a right hind sock.  Born on April 3rd.

One of the first foals for the sire and the 2nd foal for the mare- so we’ll see how this one turns out.

so here I am to announce the last foals of the Diamond Dale Farm foaling season for 2015.

[color=blue]Elrohir
9.3 hand black colt, with a star snip and ermines on his hind feet
born April 10th (a little late, doncha think? lol)
Sire: Turn n Burn (Highland Rogue/Fire de Flame)
Dam: Arwen (created)

I think I named this after the brother to Arwen in Lord of the Rings.  Don’t ask me anymore than that, lol, I had to look up the meaning of Arwen’s name, lol.  As for the colt, he’s lively and the boss of the herd, so we shall see how that translates to the track in a few years.

[color=black]Little Black Dress
9 hand high dark bay filly, with a snip
Born June 4th
Sire: Bellagio (Lonesome Glory/Foolish Question)
Dam: Classic Julie (I’m a Classic/Sweet Julie)

this is a really nice filly and I am going to be very interested to see how this cross does on the track.

[color=blue]Summer Solstice
9.2 hand high dark grey colt, with ermines on his hind legs
born May 31st
Sire: Witness (Class Act/Time for Truth)
Dam: Moonlight Garden (created)

I like Witness foals, having some luck (though not lately, lol) with his babies.

That is all until next year!

Congratulations on a successful foaling season, time to relax until next year :slight_smile:

Cute foals. :slight_smile:
