New Photos of Imari


Imari, the oldest of the three Katje foals born so far this year, is now two months old.  We are 'tickled palomino' with this lovely filly out of EM Wieta.   The Carrolls at Sullivan Farms sent these new photos of the birthday girl and 'big sister' to the stunning In Italics and Ishin Maru.  Mare owner Bettie calls this filly the 'blond bombshell.'   We couldn't agree more!


'In Italics' - New Photos

  
We have been receiving regular updates and lots of wonderful pictures from Revlon's owner of this very special Katje colt.  He is developing beautfilly, and we can't wait to meet him when he is weaned and takes the journey home from Michigan.  Here he is pictured at 5 and 6 weeks of age.  Italics is also shedding out 
to be a dark liver chesnut and with all that 'chrome' he will most certainly be an eye catcher in the arena.

Ishin Maru at 5 Weeks

 
We had the opportunity to visit Ishin Maru this past week between breeding dates, and were thrilled to see how she has developed in the past month.   Now 5 weeks of age, this Kaareltje - Donnerhall - Pik Bube cross has great bone and movement, and an even more impressive nature.   She is a 'pocket pony' of the first order, not at all shy and very eager to engage 'her' people.  The breeding manager at Crosiadore Farm has done a wonderful job with her handling, and also credits her nature, saying she has been easy from the first day.   We can't wait to pay another visit to this special girl, pictured with Firemist Farm foal manager Caelea 'hanging out' on a warm spring day.
