Nice filly!
Golden Laurel sounds really pretty!
Another filly.

ICh. Ring of Fire (S) x Sleeplessinseattle
8h bay filly
Sleeplessinseattle led me to Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks + Ring of Fire led me to Joe Versus the Volcano, and the wikipedia article on it with plot summary led me to Flibbertigibbet. I’m amazed no one’s used that name before, though.
First foal from her MSP dam

Wow that’s certainly unique
btw You’ve Got Mail is my favorite romantic movie ever. Sleepless in Seattle is great too, but I’ve never seen Joe Versus the Volcano. I gotta get around to watching it sometime.
You see, my first thought is:
"How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Maria? A flibbertigibbet. A will-o’-the-wisp. A clown.
“Many-a-thing you know you’d like to tell her. Many-a-thing she ought to understand. But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say? How do you keep a wave upon the sand? Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?” Stolen from here
But it’s a lovely word. I’m glad you’re using it!
I do love the word. Not sure how to link Sound of Music to her bloodlines too, but it still works.
JVTV is silly, but cute. You should also watch Shop Around the Corner - it’s You’ve Got Mail in the 50s, minus the annoyance of AOL.
I want more babies! Bitter Sweet was due on the 2nd and is STILL hanging onto her foal. Give birth, mare!
So perhaps I shouldn’t have nagged Bitter Sweet about foaling…

9h light bay filly
Bitter Sweet foaled late, and had a tough time of it. She made it through, but hemorrhaged a few hours later and had to be put down.

Sorry to hear about Bitter Sweet but congratulations on a healthy baby - lovely name for her.
Sorry to hear about Bitter Sweet. I’ve got a daughter of hers so I’m hoping she passes on her abilities on the track and breeding wise down her line! Her foal is lovely though - gorgeous name!
Thanks. I’m glad her foal’s a filly, hopefully she can do as well as her mom.
Oh, no. So sad. I have one that was due on the 7th, ah, I’m scared now!
Mare death is not linked to due date and the accuracy thereof. It’s a completely random chance for each breeding.
Sorry to hear about your loss. The foal’s name is absolutely gorgeous.
i check everyday even tho my first isnt due til the 31st , lol, then april/may and then the rest of the summer with most end of july/aug. i hate waiting. at least i get to see everyone’s pretty babies in the mean time
I know, , still just makes me squirm a little. And, yes, the filly looks wonderful so yay for that at least.
More babies! Sad note for the day, though.

We lost a pretty little filly, who would have been 1/2 sister to SP My Laird. Beautiful Dreamer seems to be recovering as well as can be expected.

Sorry for your loss but congrats on the two healthy fillies.
Thanks. I’m hoping they do well.
Another baby!

Surprised the name wasn’t taken already.
First foal from his MSW dam. Also 2x2 to What’s It Worth, which was unintentional. I generally try and go for 2x3 or farther out, but that’s ok.
