Skyclad's 2017 Foals

Beauty! Nice name.

Love the name.

It feels like it’s been AGES since the last foal!  And the next foal isn’t until the beginning of May.

[color=red]Lilac Chaser
7.3hh chestnut filly
ICh. Dark Continent (B) x NCh. Sedaka Century

I’m really excited for this filly, mostly because she’s out of my favorite mare - she looks a lot like her, too.  Sedaka’s first foal on the track hasn’t been so hot, but I’m just assuming she’s a late bloomer.  :slight_smile:  Sedaka herself was no slouch on the track and had her best year as a four year old.  Dark Continent had his best years at three and four as well.  Both of them were pretty small, and Lilacs is definintely the tiniest foal of the crop.  She’s named after the visual illusion, just because I think it’s kind of an adorable name.

Love the name. Congrats on the healthy DC filly! Good luck with her.

Very pretty name!

Got a nice birthday present yesterday when one of my mares foal a bit early.

[color=red]Provocateur
9.3hh dark grey filly
ICh. Dr. Evil x GCh. Electrifying (B) by Black Legend (S)

I’m super pleased with this filly! Aside from being born on my birthday she’s out of one of my favorite mares and is grey, my favorite color. :smiley: Was having trouble coming up with a name but I think this one is growing on me.

I’m in Northern Ireland for school right now so didn’t see this girl til yesterday, though she was born the 7th.

[color=red]Cover of Night
9hh brown filly
NCh. Black Light II x River of Dreams (B)

She’s a cute little filly; I’m hoping she grows up to be more like her dad in terms of running achievements. :slight_smile:

Great name.

Oh gosh, these guys were born a week and a half ago but I’ve been so busy I haven’t even had time to post in ages.

[color=blue]Exclusively Yours
9.3hh dark bay colt
ICh. Sleipnir (B) x Soifon

This handsome little dude is half to two fillies who are both placed.  He looks almost exactly like dad, here’s hoping he runs like him as well!

[color=red]Moonraker
8.2hh chestnut filly
NCh. Sneak Peak (B) x Ch. Kentucky Bourbon

Sneak Peek was steeplechase horse of the year and Burbs was super consistent steeplechaser.  A moonraker is a colloquial term for people from Wiltshire, England.  It’s on a smuggler’s route and the story goes that barrels of French brandy were hidden in a pond.  Customs officers saw men trying to rake something in the pond and the smugglers explained they were just trying to rake in the cheese wheel in the pond (which was the moon).  The officers left them to their ways and the smugglers continued raking in their “cheese.”

19 foals
[color=blue]9 colts, [color=red]10 fillies

Love the name Moonraker, but love it more after the story. Hope life slows down to give you more FF time!

Finally had the last foal of the year, a little created filly.

[color=red]Northern Downpour
10.0hh dark grey filly

She’s a lovely filly, named after one of my favorite songs.
