The Roundup
6 July 2011
Round and Round and Up and Down
Where has the time gone? So much has happened since our last update I almost don't know where to begin. We found ourselves hit with ill health this season and as a result we were prevented from running to taste. 2015 will see us return in full force in all areas "horsey".

  Our first foal crop made their debuts this past season with Summer quickly becoming our Star of Crop and Lucky right behind her. The second crop joins them to give us 13 starters for 2015: 7 girls and 6 boys.

 Civil War retired to the shed and is joined by EoY Auction purchases Likable American and Perfect Affair. We have leased 4 additional mares and booked to 3 outside studs for a grand total of 10 scheduled pairings; foals due 2015.  

 Our mare barn is one less this Spring after the loss of Marscay's Princess. I feel it more keenely now it's breeding season than I have in all the past year. Roo makes her start this season and Reg next year so I'll be kept busy, but it's not really the same is it?

 The Bloodstock manager, as always, is working overtime in preparation for the new foals. All the barn managers have been pulling double shifts  to get all the stall charts finished and posted - we somehow wound up very much behind on that, but have made rapid progress in the past few weeks.  

 Website Admin has been working almost 'round the clock overhauling the entire site. Looking at the progress she has made in just the last week leaves no doubt as to what happened to all the farm's coffee.

 Still so very much to do before the foals begin arriving - which should be any day now. Don't know how we'll get ait all done if it lasts into the season.

 Happy New Year 2015!
