FYI, the latest iteration of the Moondance Warmbloods roster:
Firstly: current horses for sale:
- Oscar (Escamillo MD) (Emerald van 't Ruytershof/Renegade Z/Brilliant Invader) - bay c**t, born 1/2/24. He's a ripper; will only go to best of performance homes.
- Ivy Bank Jupiter (Ivy Bank Eclipse/JC Solomon/Just de Pomme) - palomino c**t born 12/1/24 - stand out in the crowd with him; such a lovely person, and super jumping lines.
- Moondance Dorabella (Bluefields Dankeschoen/Belissimo/Jazz) -filly born 25/10/23 - weaned and ready to go. It was a toss up whether to keep her or her mum, but mum won the day. Dora is a stunner; will be a superstar for someone.
- Bentley (Quasi Fantasia MD) (Quando Quando/Sandro Hit/Weltmeyer) - born 4/2/22 - 2yo gelding; we're waiting for him to grow and be less fluffy, but he's had the perfect start to life and with his impeccable breeding he'll be a super-talented smaller package for someone.
- Tamarama (JC Solomon) - palomino mare in foal to Tresaison Numero Uno for guaranteed spots, due 27/10. If she doesn't sell I won't be sorry - she is a lovely mare, and I can't wait to see the foal!
- Bauhinia Ruby Tuesday (San Rubin) in foal to Tresaison Numero Uno for guaranteed spots, due December 2024. Again, I'm not wedded to selling her, but for the right offer...
Secondly, let's look at what's due this season:
31/9: Tresaison Numero Uno-Birdwood Aarcadia (Aachimedes) - closely related to several GP dressage performers. This spotty foal will also dance.
1/10/24: Brookside Esperance (Emerald)/Vivant/Heartbreaker - say no more...
24/10/24: Tresaison Numero Uno/JC Solomon - guaranteed palomino spots, and good solid jumping lines.
19/12/24: Ivy Bank Eclipse-Annabelle: guaranteed double dilute; full sibling to Luna (below).
29/12/24: Quintago/Don Schufro - jumping plus dressage lines? It's been done before to good effect.
5/1/25: Sezuan's Donnerhall/De Niro/Weltmeyer - say no more; this could be the one to go all the way.
17/1/25: Brookside Esperance/Ivy Bank Luna (Ivy Bank Eclipse) - palomino with bling, and will jump the moon.
4/2/25; Drumming R/Tresaison Numero Uno/Sandro Hit/Rotspon
And finally; planned breedings for next season:
- Jordan (Jazz) to Negro
- Bella Madonna (Belissimo/Jazz) to Totilas or Renegade Z
- Sera (Sezuan) to Sandro Hit
-Brightstone (Belissimo) to Renegade Z
- Donna Florina (Don Schufro) to Totilas (breed your own Total Hope!)
- Rosie's Day (Renegade Z/Brilliant Invader) to Emerald van 't Ruytershof
- Ivy Bank Annabelle to Ivy Bank Eclipse
- Viv (Vivant/Heartbreaker) to Emerald van 't Ruytershof
- Tamina (Treseaison Numero Uno/Sandro Hit/Rotspon) to Pax Asgard (fingers crossed for a homozygous spotty filly!)
- Lulu (Tresaison Numero Uno/Sandro Hit/Rotspon) - as above!
- Cindy (Weltmeyer) to De Niro
- Torvina De Luxe (De Niro/Rituel (Weltmeyer) to Secret
That's all folks! Please feel free to comment and/or make suggestions; breeding is a fascinating art/science, and input is always valuable!
