Nobody really talks about that quiet moment at the end of the season…
When you walk out of the stocks one last time, slip off your mare’s halter, and realize the year’s breeding season is officially over for you.
This year was the most challenging I’ve ever faced. We started the season with heartbreak, losing an otherwise perfect foal, and followed it with fertility struggles in the mare who has always been our most reliable. And so, we hang up Sierra’s halter this year with no foal coming in 2026.
Still, in that stillness, there’s gratitude. Gratitude for resilient mares, for the lessons this season teach us, and for the promise that next year is a fresh start.
Here’s to the mares who gave us their trust, the stallions who gave us their best, and the friends who stood beside us through every high and low. Until next season. ❤️🐴
