Ivy Creek's 2020 Foal Crop

Breeding Foaling Barn
21

I’m way behind on announcing babies, mostly because I typed up a long announcement to get caught up last week, and accidentally exited out of the browser at the very end.  Ugh.

So this time, I’ll probably do lots of little posts.

February 23:

DYING DREAM - 10.1hh chestnut filly
SIRE: NCh. Ducati (Ch. Magic Cross {S} x Ch. Pennysurprise {G})
DAM: Devil’s Dream (NCh. Devil May Care {S} x Ch. Hope’s Dream {B})

Fourth and final foal from this multi-winning mare.  Unfortunately, it was a difficult labor, and there were complications to such an extent that we were unable to save the mare.

February 24:

ODIN’S SAGA - 9.3hh dark bay colt
SIRE: ICh. Sleipnir {B} (NCh. Lucky Cigar {G} x NCh. You Belong {G})

DAM: GCh. Madd Karol {S} (created)

Fourth live foal from this MSW mare.  The first two to run are winners, but the mare did best over hurdles, so they may not have found their forte yet.

ABEJA REINA - 9.1hh black filly
SIRE: NCh. Bellagio {S} (Lonesome Glory {S} x Foolish Question {P})
DAM: Ch. Queen Catarina (WCh. King David {B} x Uptown Girl {G})

Sorry about your mare.

31

Mm…if you see an empty stall where Twilight lives, I’m completely not to blame. whistles innocently

32

Haha!
She’s definitely one of my favorites!  I only own her thanks to the Color War, when we got to choose our own prizes within certain guidelines. I had a choice of a platinum mare or a young MSW mare - I chose her hoping she had potential to reproduce platinum-level talent for more years (and wouldn’t be a dud in the shed).  I’m glad that gamble paid off!

33

Two more!

3 more foals have arrived - now we are just waiting on one final foal, purchased in-utero with his/her dam.  These last three came under bittersweet circumstances - 3 lovely new babies, but at the loss of two beloved broodmares.

June 16:

ICE ICE BABY - 9.1hh black colt
SIRE: NCh. Ducati (Ch. Magic Cross {S} x Ch. Pennysurprise {G})

1/2 to MSW GCh. Olympic Torch & MSW Ch. London Gala.  Unfortunately, this was another difficult birth, and the mare did not ultimately survive.  At a 15.0 rating, she’s likely be be gold, or even platinum, ranked in due time, so this loss is extra painful.

Really sorry to hear of your broodmare losses. Both left beautiful babies behind.

Oh no, so sorry about your mares. Lovely babies though.
