We had a wonderful Field Trip today to Crosiadore Farm, where we got to see Ishin Maru (pictured above and left), now three months old, for the third time. The powerful, bold filly showed us some of her athleticism in the pasture, and couldn't have been more personable. Ishin has begun the weaning process, and appeared to be completely non-plussed by the change. She has also nearly shed out her foal coat to show her true colors, literally, and we were thrilled to see that she is indeed a silver dapple palomino like her sire.
Upon returning home we were greeted by an E-mail containing pictures of Imari (below), taken by the wonderful owners of Sullivan Farms Hanoverians. This spectacular filly is incredibly refined and seems to get prettier by the day. Dam owner Bettie says she is also sweet and personable, and is the 'total package.' It won't be too long before the fillies and brother Italics make the journey home to Maryland. We are counting the days!
