Freedom Acres' Crop of 2017

Lol another name crossed off the list! Lol

Thirded!

Thanks everyone!  :smiley:

Carole, I’ve had to cross a few names off of my list as well!

It’s hard this year! :slight_smile:

FF stole my baby.  :frowning:

Ch. Political Affairs gave birth to a filly by Boldness Shows that was bred by Final Furlong, and they took her away from me.

Is that supposed to happen? Should I file a bug report?

EDIT: I filed a bug report just in case and it turns out that this is a bug and has already happened to other stables this year. It’s because Political Affairs is a Color War award.

My filly was returned to me!  :slight_smile:

NCh. Boldness Shows (B) x Ch. Political Affairs
DOB: March 19, 2017
9.0h Light bay
Since her mother was a CW award given to me while she was pregnant, Final Furlong bred this baby. Self-immolation is the act of setting oneself on fire, often in political protest.

[color=red]7 fillies, [color=blue]5 colts, 0 stillborn, 7 left to go!

Awesome name. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Shanthi.  :slight_smile:

Our newest boy arrived four days early.

[color=blue]Don Quixote
ICh. Demand the Best x Santiago Roja (B)

I was honestly shocked that this name hasn’t been used before. Don Quixote (key-ho-tay) is a Spanish hero out of the novel titled, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha (The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha). He’s kind of a quirky hero, I read some of the novel in my higher level high school Spanish classes. Anyway, this huge baby boy was bred by Clicker Lab.

[color=red]7 fillies, [color=blue]6 colts, 0 stillborn, 6 left to go!

Congrats on the healthy colt!

Haha, I’m surprised that I didn’t use this name! I only have [color=blue]Rocinante, Don Quijote’s horse. :wink:

Thanks, Cat!

Hilda, people will probably think it’s one of your names anyway when they look at him since he’s bred by you, haha.

The final babies were born at our stable a while ago, but I’ve been taking a break from FF since the summer has been so demanding (working seven days a week). I finally logged on to name and report my little ones before going on hiatus for a while again… I sort of do this every year.

I named them all rather quickly, so some of the names may not stick when my head gets back into this game again. Also, they probably all grew an inch or two since they were born.

This guy was bred by Meara Stable. Absolutely shocked the name wasn’t taken.

[color=blue]Buchanan
ICh. Unabridged (S) x American Heiress (S)
DOB: June 7, 2017

Name is inspired by The Great Gatsby. He would have been named Daisy Buchanan had he been a filly.

I’m actually pretty fond of this name, it’s pretty much the only one of this bunch that I am.

[color=blue]Final Offer

[color=blue]Lyrical Ballad
ICh. Unabridged (S) x Albatross
DOB: June 19, 2017

REALLY wanted to name him Ancient Mariner but it was already taken.  :stuck_out_tongue:  According to Wikipedia, Rime of the Ancient Mariner was first published in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads, so that’s where the name came from.

Bred by FF. This is another name I rather enjoy.

I am a rather lucky person (as a whole) and this year’s breeding season shows that! No stillborn foals or mare deaths!

[color=red]9 fillies, [color=blue]11 colts, 0 stillborn, 0 mare deaths!

Lovely babies. :slight_smile:
