Early last summer I bought a mare at an auction. This mare has very good bloodlines and was listed as pasture bred to a stallion with very good bloodlines. I didn't really give her a lot of consideration before the sale because I didn't figure she would be within my budget. Well, when she came in the ring, I was shocked that she was not bringing a higher bid than she was, and I bid. I got her.
I have hesitated to say much about her because I seriously questioned in my mind if she was bred or even breedable at the price I got her for but I felt she was worth the gamble.
We have no vet in our area that can ultrasound Minis (at least that is what I thought at that time). So, after the heat of summer began to cool off I began teasing her and she was showing heat. Not surprised. I put her in with Image, my Rowdy grandson and he promptly bred her. Before Christmas I found that there is a vet about 30 miles from me that does ultrasound Minis so I took her for the test. He does not do a lot of Minis and could not give me exact dates, but said she was definately in foal, around two months! That corresponds with her breeding dates to Image.
So, here is Fallen Ash Scouts Very Violet, a direct daughter of L&D Scout and full sister to Fallen Ash Scouts Thief Of Hearts. d.o.b. 5/12/98. 31 inches tall and vet checked in foal to McSperitts Rowdy Night Image (Rowdy grandson) for September or October '10. I am so looking forward to this foal. Violet was A registered only when I bought her, but when I found out for sure that she was bred, I quickly sent in her AMHR registration.
Can you tell I'm excited about this mare?
