Freedom Acres 2018 Crop

I didn’t have any little ones due for a while, so this guy came pretty early!

[color=blue]Bonjour
[color=blue]NCh. French Ruby x [color=red]Ch. Hello Goodbye
8.3hh Chestnut
I’m kind of disappointed that this guy arrived so early, because he was bred to be tall, around 17 hands. I can’t complain though, because I am excited for his mother as a chaser producer, so I’m just glad that he arrived healthy.

Hello Goodbye has a date with Doodles for 2019

[color=blue]1 colt, 19 to go!

Congrats on the healthy French Ruby boy! Love the name.

That is a lovely name! Congrats. =)

Thanks! Another early arrival here.

His mother is newly retired and had a mildly successful career as a steeplechaser. Her newborn son is bred to be a steeplechaser as well.

Hello Goodbye has a date with Void for 2019

[color=blue]2 colts, 18 to go!

With a broken heart, I have to announce the loss of my most anticipated foal of the year…

A colt by Candidate out of Kelly Do did not make it this morning… Luckily, our prized broodmare is fine, if not a little depressed by her first stillborn. She’s scheduled to see What’s Your Point after a month’s time.

I’ll report the healthy babies once I get home from work and have time to dedicate to naming.

Sorry for your loss :frowning:

Glad the mare is ok at least.

Candidate has an LFG if you want to send her back next year

I think I would like to try again. I was so excited about that cross.

Finally got to naming my little ones!

[color=red]Bridal Veil
[color=blue]ICh. Take Me Away (B) x [color=red]I’m Not Pink (S)
8.3hh Dark Bay
This filly is strikingly beautiful to me. She is named after her bald face.

[color=red]Chastity
[color=blue]ICh. Unabridged (S) x [color=red]Match Me Up (S)
8.2hh Brown
Any foal from my boy is highly anticipated!

[color=red]Enamorada
[color=blue]WCh. I’m Your Angel (G) x [color=red]Max’s Beau (B)
9.3hh Dark Bay
A guy from Mexico who doesn’t speak any English called me and my current boyfriend “enamorados” and I thought it was cute, so I used it for a name.

[color=blue]Isen
[color=blue]Ch. Magic Cross (S) x [color=red]Hadhafang (B)
10.3hh Blue Roan
The name means iron in LOTR. He was bred to be tall, maybe a good chaser.

[color=blue]Kilbeggan
[color=blue]ICh. Unabridged (S) x [color=red]Ch. Ireland
9.3hh Fleabitten Grey
Irish whiskey! I took the name Jameson too. I guess I like to name my horses after liquor.

[color=blue]The Grey Pilgrim
[color=blue]NCh. Silver Wizard (B) x [color=red]Wanderlust
8.2hh Grey
One of Gandalf’s many nicknames!

[color=blue]5 colts, [color=red]3 fillies, [color=purple]1 stillborn, 11 to go!

Good luck with the filly! And I will be auctioning I’m Not Pink’s colt [color=blue]Rocinante - he’s handsome too. :wink: Maybe this broodmare just likes to colour her foals pretty.

I’ll have to keep my eye on him during the auction!  :wink:

Love all your names! :slight_smile:

Thanks, Steph.  :slight_smile:

This is apparently the year for Freedom Acres to lose babies from gold rated studs…  :'(

A little boy out of Auspicious and What’s Your Point didn’t make it.  :-[ She’ll be headed for Dark Continent this year.

[color=blue]Radioactive
[color=blue]ICh. Dark Continent (B) x [color=red]Ch. Political Affairs
9.0hh Black
When I hear his parents’ names I picture a whole continent wiped out by nuclear warfare.

[color=red]Echad
[color=blue]FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (S) x [color=red]Dance Alone (B)
9.1hh Black
Her name is Hebrew for a word that basically means oneness of separate parts, often used in the sanctity of marriage.

I would also like to point out that these two foals, born a day apart, and identical, even almost with their height.

[color=blue]6 colts, [color=red]4 fillies, [color=purple]2 stillborn, 8 to go!

Sorry about your foal. :frowning:

Love the names of the others, though. Congrats on the Kermit filly.

Sorry to hear about Auspicious’ foal :frowning:
