The foaling alarm went off quite a lot last night…we’re proud to introduce FOUR new arrivals today.
[color=red]Reckless Faerie
Giant’s Causeway (S) x ICh. Priceless
8.3h dark bay filly
Priceless was an amazing event horse in the 1980s. His dam’s name was Reckless, but that was taken, so I combined it with part of his sire, Ben Faerie.
2nd foal of her MSW dam.
[color=blue]Song and Sixpence
GCh. Worth My While (G) x Song of the Sea
9.0h dark bay colt
Not sure where the name came from. I was looking up Selkies (already taken as a name) and it popped into my head.
First foal of his SW dam
[color=blue]Fantastic Mr. Foxx
NCh. Cryptic Ballad x NCh. Celtic Foxx
10.0h brown colt
Haven’t seen the movie, but have heard good things about it, so that’s close enough.
Third foal from his MSW dam. His big sister by Giant’s Causeway debuts this year.
[color=red]Reigning Star
FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (B) x NCh. Crowned
Third foal from her MSW dam. Her big sister by War Chant debuts this year.
[color=red]2 Fillies
[color=blue]2 Colts
58 Unborn
Love the names, also Fantastic Mr. Fox was a great book, remember reading it as a kid!
Thanks! I’ll have to look for it at the library.
OK, you know you’re addicted to breeding when the first thing you do upon waking up is log in to check for more foals.
(The really bad part? I keep checking back during the day, just in case I missed the alert about a new baby…I need a twelve step program or something.)
So it’s not just me then!

Well, it’s bad when you stay up until 3am too. Thank god I’m on vacation.
My vacation ends today. Well, part/most of that “vacation” was lying in bed with a horrible flu, so I’m not sure that counts.

Congrats on the healthy babies. They are adorable! Love the names too!
If we win, we get to keep her right?

We’ve settled on the name Tinker Bell for her. Tinker Bell has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her image in the Disney logo involves a “star” on her wand, and she “takes” you to Disneyland (which is close enough to Hollywood ).
Thanks for the suggestions, though!
