I should probably explain that I owned two stallions in partnership with other people, and we sold one, then unexpectedly lost one right after a colic surgery, and I had no other stallions at the time, so I had to look for outside breeds if I wanted to get any mares bred for the next year. I'm extremely pleased with the stallions that I was able to breed my mares to. Next year I am hopeful that my junior stallions will be able to do the job. We'll see.
A very good friend let me "borrow" her leopard appy that she had just bought back after his being gone for a few years. This is an awful picture of him, but the only one I have at the moment. This stallion has gone Supreme, and has his Halter Hall of Fame, sorry for the bad pic-- Daleo's Emerald Ridges Color to Burn
This stallion is the sire to my gelding Magic Mist Color On Fire, and he is bred to Fire's dam again, for a full sibling, I can't wait. The mare is Wild Winds Frost Fire, my "super broodmare"-- she has a foal every year, and every one of them is incredible. I finally have two of her foals driving, and a friend bought another one and has him driving, so finally people will get to see just what this mare's produce can do. I don't even have any good pictures of her, but at least this one is recent: Frost is in the foreground, with her firstborn filly (now broodmare, mother of three) Magic Mist Mirage behind her
Mirage was also bred to Color to Burn but I don't think she settled.
and, I don't have pics of him, but a beautiful cremello pinto stallion owned by another good friend, I bred two mares to him, I think only one settled (he's only two years old, his first year breeding). Both mares bred to him are bay, so if we get any foals from him, they will be buckskin.
I am excited for all of these foals.
