Sorry I haven't had time to write anything recently, but I have been so busy getting ready for this year's breeding season. Stallion books are filling up pretty fast and new babies are just on the horizon. Gonna be a busy spring season.
A few changes here at the ranch. After a lot of thought I have decided to sell Black Majik Domino our APHA homozygous black stallion. Domino is an extraordinary horse and I have raised him from a baby. He is broke to ride, willing and level headed. That being said, I really needed a homozygous tobiano stallion in my herd. I have also decided to sell our blue roan paint colt Lucky In Love and our perlino colt Shooter.
So those boys have been sold and are going to a great farm! Now for the new additions to the farm. We did purchase a homozygous tobiano stallion; Designated Tye Dye who has fabulous blood lines. Designated Hitter and Hitman are right on his papers. Tye will be a great addition to our lineup and regardless of the color or breed of mare you bring you are guaranteed pattern and color.
I also recently received my dream horse, my blue roan AQHA stallion Shiek's Cowpoke. He is a total doll baby and we are excited that his first foal crop will be on the ground this spring. Our mare Sheepcreek Hannah is bred to him for a foal in May. Can't wait till it gets here.
In addition to these two purchases we have also added a few mares to our herd.
The Eminent Duchess AQHA grullo mare who is dam to a two time world champion filly
We have also purchased Little Miss Arapahoe "Holly" a beautiful sorrel mare in foal to perlino stallion Sierra Sandstone.
and last but not least our beautiful Sophie our APHA mare who is bred to our blue roan stallion for a 2012 foal.
At the current time I think I have seven full size horses that will be having foals and possibly four minis. (One for sure as they are tricky)
I guess I better find some way to become the energizer bunny this spring.
We have also added to our dog breeding program a new rottie Duchess. Duchess will have her first litter of Half Moon Farms puppies in early April. We are very excited to have her to add to our lineup.
Thanks for reading and keeping up with the news on our farm.
