LAST 2010 Foal for Star Ridge Acres

[StarRidgeAcres]

For those that are keeping count here is how my year added up:

8 mares bred total, all to Spirit.

Cappy aborted a filly at 7.5 months (and Cappy passed later as she was much sicker than anyone realized at the time

)

Sweet Pea had a colt that had a deformed front leg so it had to be euthanized

Toffee had a pinto filly that was sold along with her dam prior to foaling (of course - want a filly? Sell the mare!)

Classy, Goldie and Dusty (outside mare) all had solid colts.

Junie had a wildly marked pinto colt with blue eyes.

And now I introduce the last foal for 2010...

Sired by Spirit and out of an awesome mare that is a granddaughter of Roan Ranger (and boy does her head show it!), SG Fascinating Rhythm.

Born 6/18/10 at about 3:30pm. Pictured after his vet check at about 16 hours old. No name yet, but I'm thinking he may be my keeper for the year. Probably going to mature about 32".

I bought this mare open last summer from Sheryl at Irish Hills Farm and bred her a couple of days after she arrived - bred her once by hand on 7/22/09 and sure enough she took! Thanks Sheryl!!!

Thanks for letting me share. Glad to be done for the year and to have little to no breeding plans for next year! I could use a year off.

Rhythm did you really good. She is such a good mare and a heck of a producer.

I'm so excited for you and I'm looking forward to watching this little man mature!! NICE!!!

[targetsmom]

Congratulations!!! He is gorgeous and I am so glad you ended on a good note. But I was hoping you would get a filly. Just for the record, we absolutely ADORE that one filly that Spirit sired for this year, and the mare too.

Very Beautiful colt! Congratulations!

Love your mare too! Our herd sire SG Little Blue Dipper has Roan Ranger in his pedigree. Just LOVe him!

Iam very sorry to hear what you had to go through.

We had a late term abortion too. But at least we didn't loose the mare. Again, I am so sorry!
