We are several months into recovery from the hardest thing that I have ever done. The farm declared bankruptcy and now we are starting over. Gone is all the hard work we put in, but we will get there again. In fact we will be better than ever. We have some awesome starting stock and one show horse. We were the most sad to see our Wutanvi girls leave, but the doors are open for us to build and expand slowly.
This is our show horse Seeker of Moonlight. He was our first purchase outside of imports. We knew that having show income would be vital to our recovery.
We imported two Somalis and an Azteca. We were blessed to get a colt and filly for the Somalis and a filly for our Azteca! The Azteca filly isn't much to look at right now, but Spring is a pretty girl. Our Somalis are mild and wild as far as colors go. Our filly, Suki, is mild and our colt, Fritz, is wild colored. We had been sitting on some Local Stock credits, so we turned those in. Just our rotten luck all boys! But they are decent boys. Jack is probably the "worst" on initial appearances, however he has nice breeding. Media is the next boy, he too is well bred. The most impressive boy off the trailer was Flash. Not only is Flash good looking he is also well bred. It is a joy that we got three unrelated boys to build our herd with. With our starter stock being underage with the exception of Fritz, we needed a mare of breeding age. We did some hunting and found Frosty, a decently bred Max. Sabino local stock mare. Her two foals were nothing special, but they were an improvement of the mare. Well imagine my surprise when her foal jumped off the trailer too! Little Peaches is learning to be a big horse starting with her ground manners. We then found a lovely Azteca mare at auction, contrary to her registration she is a Grey Splash that is Bay Roan Splash. We also found one of Via Verona's spectacular colts and of course we had to have him! He is one of Sammie's stunning boys and we are thrilled to have him! Then we spotted a performance custom stallion that CC had for sale, so needless to say we picked up Burn too. Our newest edition cost a pretty penny, but we think she is worth it. Moon is our most expensive purchase but with Burn and Nado as well as Fritz she will be a valuable asset to the farm.
We are excited about the future of our little operation. Frosty is in foal to Fritz and we are eagerly waiting for her to near her due date. She is due 2741, but we will be on foal watch starting 2739.
