Stormy Island Horses

Hi All!

I’ve accepted that I can manage a small stable much better than a big one, so its officially time to downsize. I went 4 years without selling any horses, but with 23 foals due this year its time to take action!

I’ve put a bunch of broodmares up for lease - pretty much everyone due in January and February. I’ll probably put a few more up for lease as they get closer to their due dates, but if you’re interested in one of my mares send me a message and we can work something out.

I’ve also set up an auction. Right now I have several young horses consigned, two young mares as broodmare prospects, and one mare in foal to Spock. If you weren’t able to breed to him this year, this is your chance to have a foal from his first crop!

Still trying to decide if this is enough downsizing, so if you have your eye on one of my horses, this is the time to let me know :slight_smile:

Happy New Year everyone!

Hi Mallory!

If we lease one of your pregnant mares, I’m assuming you’d keep the foal & we’d have our choice of who to breed her to next? Just curious.  :slight_smile:

Yup! You’d get their 2016 foal, by the stallion of your choosing.

I kind of went crazy with the mares. Saw them and had to have at least two…which turned into four, haha. has a breeding addiction

That’s a problem I understand well :slight_smile:

I see you leased the Man o’War mare… I’m excited about her, and I love the breeding to Long Live the King!

I saw her and HAD to get a hold of a baby. It’s hard hunting for certain lines on a budget. Hoping a Man O’ War x Bold Ruler cross will produce something super nice :smiley:

Auction starts tomorrow!

Well that broke the bank a little, but I’m happy  ;D

Now when to host my own auction to keep the tax collector from cackling in the background…

Good luck with him! I almost pulled him out of the auction when Worth My While got retired :slight_smile:

And congrats to all the new owners!
