Iron Spur Stables Foaling season

Breeding Foaling Barn

came on today to post about my vacation to find my first foal had been born a strong healthy colt

I named him [color=red]Highland Pleasure, hes not very big only 7.1, but he and his dam came through healthy.
he is a cute  Bay  with a Blaze, RF Blaze, LF Blaze, RH Ermine, LH Blaze

he is out of Magic Wand (B) and by Highland Bandit (S) with lots of silver and gold in his bloodlines im hoping for great things with this guy, he will have to have extra time to grow before racing , but his dosage numbers are  huge , he has one half sib champ, and is related to ch.alcatraz

first off

[color=red]Starlite Dancer a Black filly ,10.1h,by Starzen out of Danzinallnight
Markings: Star, stripe, RF Blaze, LF Sock, RH Sock, LH Ermine
her dam was my starter horse and her 1/2 brother Danzinwiththedevil is doing pretty well in his 2yo career, both parents have bronze ratings with gold on her sires side and bronze&silver on her dams, am hoping for pretty good things for this princess.

[color=red]Celtic Spice  a Grey ,9.2h,Filly by GCh. Go For Dash out of Celtic Lioness

[color=red]Getting Wired a Flea-bitten grey ,9.3h, filly by Gone Haywire out of Intern
Markings: Star, stripe, snip, RF Stripe, snip, LF Blaze, RH Blaze, LH Blaze

another good morning woke up to a little boy , the first foal for this girl and hes a big one

[color=red]Enter Stage Right a bay colt 10.0h, by NCh. Sneak Peek (S) out of Ch. Marilyn Monroe
Markings: Blaze, RF Blaze, LF Blaze, RH Blaze, LH Blaze
his Dam is by Class Act (G) 00-Pretty Pumpkin (G)  and his sire is by What’s It Worth (G) 00-Doubletake (S)
it looks like the first crop on the track is running in the winners to stakes placed which gives me high hopes for this guy.

Markings: Star, stripe, snip, RF Blaze, LF Blaze, RH Ermine, LH Coronet
this is her first foal (she was either on/or off when racing, very unpredictable)and her sire seems to be throwing pretty good runners ,so heres keeping fingers crossed we get a good match.

finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=17487

next is this little girl

[color=red]Siren of the Sea,8.2h, Dark bay,Filly,by Rock of Gibraltar out of Come On Sunday (B)
Markings: RF Blaze, LF Blaze, RH Coronet, LH Blaze

finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=17477

and last but not least

[color=red]Obelisk,a 9.0h, Bay,Colt, by NCh. Seattle Sorcerer (B) out of Pharaoh’s Spirit (B)

[color=red]Devil in De Nile a 8.3h ,Dapple grey,filly by  ICh. Devil His Due out of Nefertiti (B)
her foals seem to be doing so/so and he is still new to the baby game so not any champions yet, but hoping for something new to pop out of the bunch and surprise me.

Thats-------- Fillies = 8…Colts = 3…with 5 more expected!!

the girls are really outnumbering the boys this year by a long shot!!

15

I Love Love Love the name.  Congrats on your Devil filly!

16

17

well my babies are almost all here, got on just now to find two more waiting for me

this gorgeous guy was the first waiting with his mom

[color=red]Black Magic Master a 8.1h,black , colt, by GCh. Harvard Bound (S) out of Ch. Crack The Code
Markings: Star, snip, RF Blaze, LF Blaze, RH Blaze, LH Blaze
this is only her second foal but she was a great purchase and ran well enough to be a champion for me(comes from a Gold rated dam and has Alydar in her line), and his sire seems to be throwing a lot of stakes racers and winners, so i have great expectations for this guy!!

finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=17469

and then this little filly

[color=red]Tiny Dancer a 8.3h,Strawberry roan, filly by ICh. Stressed out of Disco Duck
Markings: Star, stripe, RF Sock, LF Blaze, RH Sock, LH Sock
her dam i got in a claimer because of her name and she raced pretty  well before i retired her this is her second foal, her sire is new at the stud game , but this little filly has 3 of racing royalty in her bloodline with ,Secretariat, Man O’ War, and Unbridled’s Song. So anything is possible with this little girl.

finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=17471

Thats-------- Fillies = 9…Colts = 4…with 3 more expected!!

another baby waiting for me this morning, and hes a beauty

[color=red]Darkness Untamed a, 9.3h  , Black , colt by NCh. Lasting Spirit out of Dark Act (B)
Markings: Snip, RF Blaze, LF Blaze, RH Blaze, LH Blaze
He is out of a proven dam who other than losing one foal has produced fairly consistent racers on the track , his Sire is  new but is by the proven Killing Time(S) who i got at auction but is retired. So far I have not had a champ from him but am hoping this cross brings me a grand baby who can make tracks (lol)!!

finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=17470

Thats-------- Fillies = 9…Colts = 5…with 2 more expected!!

Chef-de-Race (I)), and Highland Rogue ( Gold (9.8 ) | Broodmare Sire: Gold (9.8 ),Chef-de-Race (I/C))
with several champions , and stakes winners, we are hoping this cross will prove a great one when she hits the track. Looking forward to it with great anticipation!!

finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=17481

Thats-------- Fillies = 10…Colts = 5…with 1 more expected!!

Finally the last baby arrived today and the Fillies double timed the colts!! here is the last of the season welcome

[color=red]Twilight Haze a 9.2h,Bay,Filly , by Octagonal who is a newer stud to the game and hasnt any proven runners on the track yet, but her mother was one of my champions i got at auction with a star studded pedigree,Ch. Evening Haze (by Cigar-Silver (6.9) | Broodmare Sire: Silver (6.9)Chef-de-Race (I) --out of  Evening Flame (B/I Silver (7.7)Reine-de-Course (B/I)  , and Cigar of course is the Grandson of Seattle Slew(I) Silver (6.0) | Broodmare Sire: Silver (6.0)Chef-de-Race (I)
