A bittersweet announcement:

July 8:

REMEMBER DIXIE - 8.2hh dark bay colt
SIRE: NCh. Fight The Twilight (WCh. Nightfight {G} x ICh. Twilight Embers {P})
DAM: Dixie Love {P} (created)

1/2 to MSW GCh. Laevateinn, MSW Ch. Lovespell, MSW Ch. Sweet Home Alabama, and MSW Ch. El Carino.  Sadly, his dam had to be retired after this taxing birth.  We currently own four of her daughters (two at brood, a yearling, and an unraced 2YO).  This is the only colt from this mare owned by Ivy Creek.

Now only 1 mare is still due, and she is past her due date.  This foal will also be the gender tie-breaker.  Come on, Reckless Delight!  We’re all waiting.

27 colts | 27 fillies | 1 still due
1 stillborn foal
1 mare retirement

29

Lovely colt, I hope he lives up to his dam/siblings.

30

At last!  Our final foal of the season has made his appearance.

July 10:

SAINT BERNARD - 9.1hh blue roan colt
SIRE: Bernardini (A.P. Indy {S} x created)
DAM: Reckless Delight (GCh. Temptation x Rings of Saturn {S})

Fourth foal from this MW mare, purchased because I had good luck with horses from both her sire & dam’s lines.

COLTS WIN!

FINAL COUNT:  28 colts | 27 fillies
1 stillborn
1 mare retirement

31

Congrats on all the healthy foals for the season! Love the name Saint Bernard, very cute.

I have 3 left. O.o All overdue.

32

I know!  Don’t these mares know that their babies are already going to be way behind?  They need to hustle!
