I've been wanting to find another mare or possibly a filly to grow up into a broodmare, and Erica helped me out tons but letting me have Suprize (Erica's Oh What A Surprise), who is little "maybe" 31" buckskin dun pinto, a Bandito daughter who will come to me in foal, probably to Big City starting next summer. I will have a year plus on Suprize to be excited (sorta like waiting on Christmas!). We hope Suprize will be (is?) in foal to Destiny for 2006 with that foal being Erica's. You can see about Suprize by clicking here.
Then before I left the office last Thursday, I took a quick glance at the sales board and this one mare caught my eye at first just because she had such a pretty face and reminded me of Lou (my favorite mare). Then reading about her, she wasn't just pretty but really the bloodline I had hoped to find! Then I talked to the seller and got more pictures and decided to make her mine!
The sellers are retaining the foal she's carrying (10mos along now), so she'll come to VA in late September after she has weaned the coming foal. She may come to me in foal, or I may actually choose to have her open this coming year so I can show her a tiny bit and then breed her to Destiny (or maybe DunIT).
She is "Harrells Rowdy Reflection of Hope". Hope (click here for her page) is a daughter of Cross Countrys Rowdys Reflection, who is a son of Lazy N Redboy, who himself is of course a son of Rowdy. I am pretty optimistic about crossing her in the future to my two heavily bred Buckeroo boys, DunIT and Destiny! I know many people feel that Buckeroo and Rowdy blood often crosses with awesome results.
I think Hope's got such a sweet, kind face. She is AMHA, 4yo, 33.75", proven broodmare with no foaling trouble, straight legs, good bite, etc. I am really happy I took a peek at the sales board on Thursday!!! I don't usually jump that fast but felt like I probably wasn't the only one who noticed her ad.
Her seller is so nice and promises me tons of pictures as the summer goes on of Hope and her foal. Her 2005 filly is just to die for so I am excited to get some of that for myself in later years (filly below).
Thanks for looking at my new little lady!!!
