All of our 2013 foals are here and healthy. It took a while for the last one to finally arrive but i am so thankful that i am done with foaling season. At least the planned foaling season, if we get some un-expected surprises into the rescue i will gladly and openly accept them. We have two palominos, one bay, and one chestnut on the ground this spring. Three of them by my stud Gunner, he is two for three on boys and two for three on palominos. I am so pleased with the quality in Gunner's first foals, they are all big, healthy and smart. Already have the moves to be great in the pen and out on the trail. Gunner will be covering 6 mares for me this summer and standing to a limited number of outside mares. He is already nearly booked so get your bookings in early!
Our colts are happy, the grass is really starting to flourish up here. Which takes a bit longer at this altitude anyhow, and the rains are coming. There is very little that could make it any better. I had my mares on a good summer lease, but lost it due to a silly paperwork issue, so i am still on the hunt for somewhere to stick some of them until fall.
The rest of the herd is doing well, i have a few prospects that i have been working on and will be posting for sale shortly. I am really excited about one of the coming three year old fillies. She has shown so much promise and will make someone a terrific saddle horse. Starting young horses is a special talent and i have known very few "trainers" that can come out the other side with a nice, gentle and handy colt. Alot of people think that they have what it takes to gentle and ride a colt when in fact all they are doing is teaching what not to do and how to get people away from them. We need to make horses our friends and companions, would you beat your friend over the head with a rope?
