He has grown into such a stunning stallion.

“Major Mac V, who is two years old, now becomes incredibly important to me. He’s a glorious c**t. Beautiful, talented, very good minded, handles well, soft on his face. And he then becomes six generations of the stallions I stood here since Bay-Abi in 1959.” | Sheila on

It’s a peaceful Sunday morning here in Arroyo Grande. We’re so thankful for all we have here. We are just heart sick about all the people suffering in our beautiful So Cal area. At the end of the day, life is about the things that can’t be purchased: sweet views like this, help from people you don’t know, hugs… we continue to collect items for LA here at the property. 💗 Sending love to everyone reading our posts and especially anyone impacted by the fire storms. ❤️
