New arrivals in 2010

Hi everyone, it has been so busy around here I have barely had time to catch my breath! We now have two of our three expected spring babies here! Ally foaled a curly bay colt on March 22nd...a day before I was going to bring her off pasture, so they have enjoyed romping the hills and playing in this wonder spring weather. Sadly, picture time has been limited, to a week of horrible ( probably much needed ) wet weather....so, I will post action shots when I can get them done. We named this colt....*C-C Heartfires Flame....a name to match his sisters in a manner. Since they are almost a physical match, perhaps someday they can be paired together driving.


I did manage to get Legacy in, prior to foaling..she was in just a few days before presenting us early Sunday morning with a stunning, tall, self aware, self important chestnut curly coated pinto filly. We have spent along time in anticipation of this day. Legacy's Dam was growing older and we wanted a foal from this lineage to keep ...a "Legacy"...this was part of the old time curly breeder Norm Dills favorite lineage....we found it our favorite too, and wanted to continue it on.....Legacy herself was born here on Mother's Day, 2007, and we knew instantly this filly was a keeper. So, through growing, playing, learning porcupines are NOT your friend, and then a summer of light training last year, we helped Legacy grow up and become the fine mare she is today. Because this foal of Legacy's is so special, I knew she needed a VERY special name. I invited our neighbors Alice and Larry over, and with them, Alice's Mom and Step Dad, Al. Al is a native Hawaiian, and I thought of asking him about an "H" since I am still enamored with Hawaii.....We were going through names..and the name "Hanalei" came up in conversation....how perfect is that? and...I have actually BEEN there!!! Hanalei was the setting for the song..."Puff the magic dragon" and...talk about a magical place. So, the arrival of Legacy and HeartBreaker is named *C-C Hanalei .


This filly has alot of spunk....a whole lot of friendlyness, and "what are YOU doing?" to her..she is going to be a blast to watch grow up....and
So, we are off and running for 2010...I imagine both these foals will be offered for sale...some really great bloodlines...both these foals are ABC, CSI and ICHO eligible. enjoy! LOL...we sure are.
