Our last foal was born a couple days ago.  She is a beautiful black and white filly out of Sassy, by our young cutting stud Parker.

It seems strange when you lose someone who is such a big part of your life, that the world doesn’t stop.  Everything continues on and you feel so distant from it all.  I am still grieving, but I don’t want to focus on that here.  I am going to try and focus on the same things I have always shared here, what is happening around the farm.

I am thrilled with this new filly.  She is the type of filly I’ve been hoping to get from this mare all the years I’ve owned her.  I took Sassy off the For Sale list and decided to keep her for now.  She’ll be bred later this month to the stud in Texas that I bred Hailey to last year, Barlnk Macho Too.  Unfortunately, we lost Hailey’s foal this year, and she was already booked to a different stud, so I had a rebreed to use, and Sassy is the lucky girl who’s going to use it for me.

It looks like this filly will probably be classified as a black tobiano, though she may carry the overo gene.  I don’t think she carries the dun gene or she would have been a lighter color.  When she sheds off her foal coat we’ll know for sure.  She is for sale (I can’t keep them all!), but isn’t cheap and we have one customer already trying to make a deal on her.  We’ll see what happens.
