Just because...

They force me to work to fund my horse lifestyle, doesn't mean that I can't do a few things I want to do while I am on shift.  So in that vein, I thought I would share this year's foal watch to the board.  Dont you just get excited about babies?  I sure do, I start getting itchy as soon as the Futurities are over!

American Quarter Horses

GCh Sage Bar Kelo
American Quarter Horse Stallion

Sage Bar Kelo makes a return to my breeding shed this year.  After last year's successful foals hit the ground running, I decided to use this charming stallion once more.

BlackSmoke N Time
American Quarter Horse Stallion

BlackSmoke N Time also returns to sire duty this year, again as the result of his fledgling breeding record that just keeps producing the most promising foals!  His very first foal, Back N Time Jackpot has already earned his beginner title and is currently steaming towards his intermediate!

GCh The Iron Price
American Quarter Horse Stallion

The Iron Price was one of those horses that I could kick myself for selling!  But, it's great to have the next best thing, Iron babies!

Thoroughbreds 

GCh Gamez On
Thoroughbred Stallion

Gamez On was one of my most favorite Thoroughbred sires and I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing.  He was an extraordinary horse and will be putting his stamp on some Winchester Appendix Quarter Horses next year.  He is greatly missed and I have high hopes that his foals will carry on his legacy for decades to come.

GCh Burpin On The Bay
Appendix Quarter Horse Stallion

My beloved Burb is also going to be a daddy again this year.  He has already given me one National Champion, so I am hoping for a World Champion!

In all, I am expecting 12 foals and all are Futurity nominated. I have high hopes that they will stay strong and train up nice and really offer the 216 contenders a run for their money!
