Stillwater's 2015 Foals

Nice filly!

Golden Laurel sounds really pretty!

Another filly. :slight_smile:

[color=red]Flibbertigibbet
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. :wink: I’m amazed no one’s used that name before, though.

First foal from her MSP dam

Wow that’s certainly unique :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile: 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. :wink:

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…

[color=red]Only Memories
GCh. Highland Laird (S) x GCh. Bitter Sweet (S)
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. :frowning:

1/2 sister to MSW Prince of Thieves

Sorry to hear about Bitter Sweet  :frowning: 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. :frowning: 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, :wink: , still just makes me squirm a little.  And, yes, the filly looks wonderful so yay for that at least. :slight_smile:

More babies! Sad note for the day, though.

[color=red] Oriole
FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood (B) x ICh. Blackbird (G)
9.2h black filly

The oriole is a type of blackbird, and I lived in Maryland for almost ten years. :slight_smile:

1/2 sister to MSW Millennium Falcon

[color=red]Could Be Charmed
Silver Charm x Ch. Wouldn’tyouknowit
9.1h dapple grey filly (my favourite!)

Second foal from her MSW dam

[color=red]Stillborn
WCh. King David (B) x NCh. Beautiful Dreamer (B)

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. :slight_smile: I’m hoping they do well.

Another baby! :slight_smile:

[color=blue]Bravado
FFCh. Foolhardy (G) x Ch. Make A Difference
9.1h bay colt

Surprised the name wasn’t taken already. :slight_smile:

First foal from his MSW dam. Also 2x2 to What’s It Worth, which was unintentional. :wink: I generally try and go for 2x3 or farther out, but that’s ok.
