Our 2025 season is over and behind the scenes breeding for next season has been in full swing with our in-house stallions. Busy times!
And what a season we have had.. 16 foals, 9 c**ts and 7 fillies.

We really have had the box of chocolates experience this year, from bays, blankets, solids, leopards and bling to chestnuts, blacks, loud patterns and a few dots! Each foal has been a joy to watch enter into the world and watch fill out and unfold as they mature.
Conformation comes first and always has in our program, and seeing the fruit of that in each pairing and resulting foal is such a rewarding experience.. and knowing as breeders whoโs responsibility it is to protect the breed that they have the best start in life being 7 panel negative - a huge leg up for each foal and their futures as well as the breed.
We were blessed with two cracking fillies we were silently hoping for by Stolen Identity ApHC.. and boy they donโt disappoint.
We have also had a few fillies that we simply canโt part with and have been hoping on to retain bloodlines/pedigrees for our program.. after many years of having a majority of c**ts (and who can forget the โyear of the c**tsโ..) the stud always comes first.
We have also retained two quality c**ts from this yearโs crop, one by each of our two resident sires that will both be an asset to our stud in due time and more importantly the breed - a black snowcap c**t by Smokin Aces and a black leopard c**t by Yallawa Boys Night Out.
6 foals have been sold to wonderful homes across the country from this season. A hard choice when they are all quality. We love following our progeny and keeping in touch with owners, really is rewarding and they become apart of the family.
This season did come with heartbreak. After doing all we could, we did sadly lose a foal this year due to circumstances out of our control. Always a reality we know in breeding.. but it doesnโt make it easier, he was a special c**t.
As December approaches, foal coats are starting to shed and handling lessons are in full swing as we rotate a few at a time to be manageable. We have 9 mares confirmed in foal to date for the 2026 season with a few more to confirm yet with some exciting new crosses to look forward to.
Itโs been a particularly busy season this year, (we feel like we always say this ๐
) foaling season has been coinciding with our daughters and we have welcomed a new granddaughter to the family and the property a few weeks ago and another one is due to arrive this week, grandchild number 12.
We are looking forward to a quiet family Christmas on the farm with Gods blessings/creations running around in the paddocks as the view.
Stick around for more photos/videos as they all unfold and personalitles come to light ๐
