12 years ago we welcomed our first foal BBS Picasso (Peekay) the first pinto by Hilkens Denali. This week we welcomed her son Lost Art (Harry) For Jennifer McNeill. It seems a fitting way to announce the final chapter of Blue Blood's foaling and breeding services with this milestone- our first and last foal 💙❤️
We will be rounding off our dedicated breeding services at the end of this season and focusing our energy on Worm-Ed.
There are so many amazing stories, creations, achievements and awesome horses and humans we have helped to achieve breeding dreams. It is now time for me to focus on research and development that will ultimately benefit the next generation of foals. Kat and I will continue our important work together and we will still be here for regular updates. Next week I will update you all with this season's little miracles in a long overdue foal gallery. Thank you so much for your support ❤️💙

Such an over achiever of a sunset! 🌞 You can barely see our first mares of the season in the distance. What a welcome 😍 We have a selection of recipients arriving first up.... carrying very special embryo transfer babies for our clients. We are easing into foaling at the most leisurely pace this year! Looking forward to seeing our first baby soon! Good luck to all of you expecting foals this year 💙

The most adorable conversation between my two little humans watching a foal being born before school... many years ago. Coming up to that time of the year again 💙 https://www.facebook.com/Bluebloodequine/videos/301403150677294/

Isn't this the cutest little "emotional support heifer" I feel we all need one in our lives 💙 Would make for quite a different inspection day than we are used to with Nz Warmblood Association Inc 😅 Not long till we start seeing this year's crop of superstars arriving in NZ!

What a wonderful conference has just wrapped up at Te Pae in Christchurch! We were privileged to have Dr James Crabtree in the Equine Reproduction stream. James is a director at Equine Reproductive Services UK and gave us lots of tips on the latest on ET, foaling management and breeding the problem mare.

This cute little button popped out late last year. A foal for our own family ❤️ If horses could look surprised Alle (Henton Alegria) nailed the expression when she gave birth to a palomino! My 9yo Emilia is lucky enough to be training this wee girl with Vanessa Randell's expert instruction. As you can see by the photos of her parents she will hopefully have an eventing future. Yesterday she was entered in the eventing section of the NZ Warmblood foal tour and received a merit grade ❤️ She is by Ikarus GF and out of Henton Alegria. Named Ice Angel to acknowledge her colour, temperament and both of her parents initials 🧊 😇 🦄
