First foal on the ground, although not actually a home-bred.
[color=red]LILLIBET[/color]
NCh. Nobly Regal (S) x Amaranthe - NCh. Golden Text
Bred by Denoux Stud
8.1h mahogany bay filly
Mum was purchased in foal, actually on her due date, so glad this girl was four days late. Named after the childhood nickname for the current queen of England, still going strong in her 90s and definatly unfading (translation of mums name)
Lovely filly.
Congrats on the lovely Nobly Regal foal! I actually bred both parents (wow I’ve been here long). Love the name.
Love the name Lillibet.
And hot on Lillibet’s heels the other foal arrived this morning, five days late. Ironically I hoped Draft would hang on untill tomorrow, for naming possibilities but anyway, I present;
[color=red]FORTITUDE SOUTH[/color]
NCh. Crafty Magic x Ch. Dodge The Draft (B) - War Admiral (S)
Bred by Sakura Springs
9.3h chestnut filly
Full sister to [color=blue] Sudden Insight[/color], her mother’s yearling.
Named after the deception operations that took place in southern England about this time 75 years ago, involving a faked US Army group and inflatable tanks, amongst other things. Thought it was fitting.
Dodge the Draft is off to visit Ancient Magic for a foal of similar lines to GCh. Play My Game.
Amaranthe is off to Tir Na Nog
Love that name & the history behind it. I never knew!
