She's Here!

Sagan gave birth to a strong, healthy baby girl Monday morning just after 1:00 a.m.   'Kinnetic', one of only a handful of Netto foals in the U.S.,  was up and literally running within the hour, and may be the boldest, most forward foal we have seen since her dam was born.   She is pictured below at the tender age of just 7 hours old, already on the move.


Kinnetic ('Kaiten' for short) appears to be black like her dam with four 'chrome wheels', and bears a striking resemblance to her sire with her huge bone and powerful hind-quarter.  She is already displaying her dam's forward personality and sweet nature.   Sagan, dam of the Rotspon foal Rhylen, repeated her maiden performance as a spectacular mother.   We're having a blast working with this precocious second foal who likes to nap in my lap between her romps around the field.  She is pictured below her second day of life, incredibly correct for such a newborn.


Now we await the arrival of her cousin from Windtanzer, due next week.  No rest for the weary, but it will be well worth it to have another foal like this one!

Breeding Season Begins!

                                                                     WINDTANZER

We are less than 30 days away from foaling now, and Sagan and Tanzer, pictured without their 'baby bumps,'  now look the part of soon-to-be mothers.   The rough winter seems to be behind us, and things are greening up just in time for the new arrivals.

Meanwhile we have begun checking Wrave, who will be the first to be bred this spring.   We have some wonderful stallions 'on ice' as well as several fresh semen breedings at our disposal.    The final decisions are being made on the matches for 2015.   Stay Tuned!
