I think so too, I’m really excited for the foal. Alfresco, my 2yo genius, is by Foolhardy, another Worth son, so I hope that the Worth son x Kelly Do works out as well as it did last time.
I’m getting nervous for Kelly Do because she’s 15 now, which means she’s in the age range of retirement. I would like to get a few monsters out of her before she’s done being a mom.
Internet went out for a few days, and I got to come back to two little girls. It’s the year of the fillies!

WCh. What’s Debatable (S) x Hadhafang (B)
DOB: February 4, 2017

Glad I got a couple of What’s Debatable babies before he retired. Idril is the original owner of Hadhafang, Arwen’s sword in Lord of the Rings. Idril was an elven princess and is Arwen’s great grandmother.
Hadhafang will visit Magic Cross next.

NCh. Yes It’s Paddy x Max’s Beau (B)
DOB: February 5, 2017
8.1h Brown
This little girl was bred by Meara Stable. I was kind of shocked to find out this name wasn’t taken.
Max’s Beau will be visiting I’m Your Angel next.

[color=red]Matriarch
ICh. Unabridged x Etta James
DOB: February 8, 2017
10.0h Bay
My lease for Etta James actually ended a week or so ago, so she hasn’t been living with us lately. The baby arrived today almost a week late and was promptly delivered to our stable! She was named after the singer Etta James’ nickname, the Matriarch of R&B.
Etta James is back home at Ivy Creek Farm. Thanks for letting me lease her!

Surprised to have another baby already! This one was a week or so early.

NCh. Mr. Prospective x Auspicious
DOB: March 5, 2017
8.0h Dark Bay
The words “prospect” and “auspicious” go so well together that it was hard to come up with a name for this guy, ironically! He looks really sleek without even a touch of white on him. This baby boy was bred by Generous Bloodstock.
Auspicious will see What’s Your Point next.
[color=red]6 fillies, [color=blue]4 colts, 0 stillborn, 9 left to go!

ICh. Ring of Fire (S) x Dance Alone (B)
DOB: March 17, 2017
8.2h Black
He was due on March 9 and was a week late! Because of that, mom missed her booking to Kermit, but luckily his next slot was still open. This colt was bred by FF.
Dance Alone will visit TakeMeToHollywood next.
