Ouch. Sad to see her go. She’s left quite a legacy, and I’m hoping that Out of Tune follows in her hoof-steps(?)
And another filly…

Would By have a better ing than to! Love the name btw
I didn’t like the look of Bound by Secrecy, so have changed it to Sworn to Secrecy. I like the alliteration.
I like Sworn to Secrecy
Ooo yes much better!
Sad day today
We lost a filly by Gunningdownromance out of My Lady Fair (Gold). She would have been a half-sister to MSWs Unconditional, Inner Light, and Gotta Be Royal. We’re giving My Lady Fair a few weeks of rest before she’s bred again, but she’s recovering well at least. Here’s hoping for a healthy foal (and maybe even a colt? She’s had 3 in 11 foals) next time.

Sorry for your loss. Better luck next time.
Ouch. That’s a tough one to lose. Sorry for your loss.
I wish your mare luck on a safe delivery [of a colt] next year.
Thanks, guys.
Healthy babies to introduce!

Congratulations on the Unabridged colt! Love the name and he’s gorgeous too.
Thanks! I wanted to name him Interlude but that was already taken. Wikipedia to the rescue!

Another colt!

Very glad to get a boy from this mare, as most of her recent foals have been fillies. Here’s hoping for a nice stud prospect.

Would have preferred a colt from this mare as she’s given us mostly fillies, but happy for a healthy foal.

LOVE that name!
Thanks! I debated using it because I think it sounds more colt-y, but liked it too much to wait for her to give me a boy.
Can always change it if a colt comes along next yr, I did that with a couple
