I know this is a long post - but need to thank and acknowledge some great people. I have realised how lucky I am on this NEW journey with the horses.
I have some mares from some great people Kat (Kyabra One Smart Cat) from (Ricky Glenn and Sue Gibson) and owners of Peptos Stylish Oak (PSO) & Legendarey. Kat's 2025 foal this year by PSO, we hope is a blue roan filly (color testing to be done) and the bling - there is heaps of it with 4 white socks and a white blaze.
Then there is Boo (Boobook Royal Spin) (Robert Ferguson & Mary) from Boobook Quarter horse stud and owner of Boobook Tuff Spin (Aristo Tuff) and Boobook Royal Catt (sire of Boo) and Boo's 2025 foal (Duke) - stunning pally c**t with blaze and yet to confirm the white on legs, but definitely on the rear legs.
and our trainers for now and future. Did a brilliant job with ColorFX Smart Highbrow and currently they have our c**t - Diesel (ColorFX Cat Sorta Special - by Sorta Smooth from Kat) and look at the picture of this yearling (18/11/24) and the gelding behind him is a solid 14.3hh, so Diesel will be a good size. The kindest, gentle trainer you could find - so thankful
Then there is (Freedom Ranch) and owner of Ima Smooth Blue Cat and Aristo Tuff (Duke's grandsire) and all the info & support she provides, (all the help where the horses are, and keeps letting me know her thoughts - but I can't keep them all - even if I wanted to) and finally but not last or least my son who puts up with my ideas, comes with me to pick up horses (7 hours on Friday to get Boo & Duke) and helps with other things, especially pulling hairs (as most know not easy on foals) for AQHA reg and colour testing.
These people have made such a difference to me and re-instilled my faith in the horse world - something that hit rock bottom when I sold property and all horses except Dude (Ladies Smoky Dude & Smart Little Niner) - yes, all our males have paddock names that start with D. Kat's foal this year I want the paddock name Sassy - Brent's not impressed - happy for thoughts.
Pictures are: Kat's 2025 filly (30mins after birth) "Sassy", Boo's 2025 c**t - Duke, Diesel (Kat & Sorta Smooth) 2024 c**t, Peptos Stylish Oak (Sassy's dad) and Boobook Tuff Spin (Duke's dad) and both stallions have/will be rebred to same mares this year (Boo is already confirmed 14 days in foal) and Kat will be taken for AI mid-December.
Thanks all
