𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗙𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦 - lets hope for some fillies!
I always find winter slow, not because it’s filled with rainy days in the Adelaide Hills, but because I impatiently anticipate the foals due in spring. Despite trying for more foals, the drought means we’ll only have three foals due in 2025. I am desperately hoping there are some fillies this year, as we’ve had only two fillies born since 2022.
The first mare due, 𝗞𝗜𝗥𝗞𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗘 - 𝗛𝗦𝗛, is by CHEVIN IVORY – HOF HSH and out of open campdraft mare, KIRKBYS STUD ROSALIE. Rosie is in foal to 𝗠𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠 - 𝗛𝗦𝗛 (by HAZELWOOD CONMAN – IS HSH and out of KIRKBYS STUD BLUE MOON – HSH), which means this foal carries a double cross of Omega, four crosses of Romeo, and nine foundation or impact ASH mares in the first four generations.
The second mare due to foal is 𝗞𝗜𝗥𝗞𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗨𝗦𝗧 - 𝗛𝗦𝗛 who is by One Stylish Pepto and out of open-winning mare, KIRKBYS STUD GLEAM. Stardust is in foal to the open-winning campdraft stallion 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗔 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗩𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗦 (by ACRES DESTINY – IS and out of COLWAY CRYSTAL – HSH). Crystal has been described as a super producing dam.
The last foal is from 𝗞𝗜𝗥𝗞𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗟 - 𝗛𝗦𝗛 who is by HAZELWOOD CONMAN – IS HSH and out of KIRKBYS STUD MIRACLE. This foal will also be by 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗔 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗩𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗦. Miracle is a open-winning campdraft mare and maternal sister to open campdraft stallion KIRKBYS STUD ECHO – HSH. Their dam won 10 campdrafts and was second in the Canning Downs at Warwick.
