With the highest of hopes, we've been waiting for this foal. Our beloved Pewter champion (HOF) was bred to Kim (Willowood's) amazing stallion, Mirage. At only 281 days, she lost the foal. I had the vet out, of course, and it was ALL he could do to get it untangled. One back leg was up between the frong legs which were crisscrossed, and the head was turned back like a sleeping dog. The vet thought I must have had my breeding dates wrong because he said it was so well developed already for just nine months, but we only hand breed so I know exactly how far along she was. It was a beautiful black colt that was probably going to turn grey and be a replica of his sire C-Jo (also HOF). We are soooo sad and disappointed, but I just THANK GOD that my Pewter is alright.
Pewter's dam is also bred to Mirage and is only one day behind in gestation, and my Cloud mare (HOF) is also in foal to him, due in July. We have another mare bred to a friend's stallion, and she's due in about a month's time. I hope all our trouble is out of the way now and that these mares will have textbook deliveries.
