What Coming Foal Are You MOST Excited About?

[Jill]

[SIZE=10pt]I thought it might be fun to see which foal you are the most excited about for the coming year?

[/SIZE]

I'm excited about all three of our coming foals, and all are new crosses, but the one I am probably the most excited about is Erica's Double Dipped x Erica's Echos of My Destiny (HOF)

Double is a perlino pinto granddaughter of Ima Boones Little Buckeroo Too ("BTU") and the sibling of many National Champions. She is due in April and if all goes well, this will be my second Destiny foal. The first being from her like colored paternal sister, Erica's Sweet as Sugar who is due in February. I am head over heels for Double's 2008 filly, our Cover Girl, and am just very excited to see what she and Destiny produce. Double has quickly become one of my favorite mares for how she is made and her personality

Destiny is one of those once in a lifetime horses for me and I just cannot wait to see his foals both here and down at Erica's. He has had such a successful show career with a National Championship and Hall of Fame in halter and a National Grand Championship in driving. He is just a dream come true for me and has very much earned the privilege or retiring to "just" being a horse and making foals. Destiny is as good of a boy on the inside as he is on the outside, too (such a marshmallow!)

And, at the risk of sounding blasphemous, doesn't Double x Destiny (Double Destiny) just have to be a good thing?

OH!

So, below are the parents of my most anticipated foal...

Let's see and hear about your most anxiously anticipated 2009 foal!!!

There are two foals that I am looking forward to.

The first is a Peacan Grove Chargers Customized baby out of my new General Patton Daughter: He is a multi AMHA World Champion and AMHA World Champion producer (out of General Patton daughters). This is one I do not plan to sell.

The other is out of Deiles Dakota Excellence. A Wittmaack Mickey Mouse daughter with the most beautiful head and long deep hip. She is a 20 year old silver dapple mare that I bought just two years ago with the gamble that she would give me a foal or two by my AMHR Reserve National Champion Windchaser. She was in foal to a very late baby when I bought her, too late to breed for the following year, so it has been a long wait. She is now US in foal. She is the dam of an AMHA World Grand Champion Junior Stallion as well an an AMHA Reserve Grand Champion Junior Mare that Alliance now ownes. Both of those Grand Champions are producing AMHA World Champions. Anyway, their sire is Windchaser's sire . So this breeding could be something else. Colt or filly, it will not be for sale.

Most of my other mares are in foal to either Windchaser or Desperado. Considering what they produce, I guess I could say I am excited about all of them. Unfortunatly, I have a lot of every other year mares, so some exciting breedings will have to wait till 2010.

I don't have time to post photos so will do that after as I have a blood test.

Anyway my most anticipated foal in 2009 would be the cross of my silver dapple stallion, Cross Countrys New Kid In Town(31") and my bay roan appaloosa mare, Risquefishers Winter Sky(30.75"). This will be Sky and Kids' first foal and it is due February/March 2009. If a filly I plan to keep it.

My second most anticipated foal of 2009 would be the cross of my grey pinto stallion, Goat Hills One For The Books(33") and the black bay mare, Cherokee Stables Ohso Dandy(36.5"). Dandy had such a gorgeous filly in 2008 that if she has a filly in 2009 I probably will keep it.

 

[targetsmom]

Well, we bred our first mares in 2006 and haven't had a live foal yet, so if we get any live foal in 2009, it will be a miracle as far as we are concerned. And we have gotten so superstitious that I will not post pictures, or even let you know who might be bred. Please keep your fingers crossed for us.

I am extremely excited for all of my coming foals! These are going to be the first foals I have ever had on my property.

I have a two mares bred to my stallion Maple Hollows Sir Spot

They are NW Teeny Dutchess (Foxy) Picture is from when I first got her she looks much better now!

and JLLs Dakota Rose (Dakota)

One of the other mares is bred to our Double Destiny Son, Arions Destinys Magic Trick

She is Mars Rosebud (Mars)

And I have one other possible foal but it is highly doubtful since she had been bred every year and never had a foal, 9 yr old mare, and she is Akers King Lady (Lady)

 

[Leeana]

Mine is Little Kings Crimson Dream (a Supreme Dream daughter) X Westwind BTU Crown Prince Narko (double BTU bred stallion going back to BTU 4x) ....she aborted back in September so i thought there was just no way, she was open for 09' and no baby coming...was going to show her early next spring a little bit and then try the breeding agian in the summer. Then, however, had her palpated and she IS in foal!! I am just SO thrilled, as i was planning to take her to Nationals in 09' and show her in the broodmare class....so plans are now back in action !

Little Kings Crimson Dream 32.5"

Westwind BTU Crown Prince Narko 33"

I've got my plans as for whom is crossing to who next spring, i'm very excited about these crossings actually...im sending a few out...narko will be getting a few more mares and planning to allow Flyte one mare. I'm actually in the market currenlty for another bred mare for 09', keeping an eye open atleast, i have a few idea's.

Great thread.

I guess I'd be nuts if I wasn't excited about having a mare in foal to Glenns General Patton! Not a grandson or even a son, but the one and only Patton himself He's a 3x World Champion Get of Sire winner. The mare is a beautiful buckskin pinto, Little Kings She's a Buckin Beauty, a Little Kings Buckwheat daughter.

Thank you very much. If it weren't for the generous donation of this breeding by Ray and Martha to the Amateur Fund I wouldn't be able to do this! It was very nice of them.

OK. I officially have a new favorite "foal in waiting!" Getitia, I watch your site to see if there's ever new info on Teenie. She is one of my all-time favorites! I've even emailed you a couple of times asking who you'd decided to breed her to, so glad it's Billy. What an awesome cross this should be!

 

[Alisha514]
