Orchis lost her pregnancy some time over the winter. She was definitely pregnant to Sir Sinclair when I last checked her in September or October. Oh, well. We don't sell many of her babies anyways, so it's one fewer horse I have to keep! I scanned her last night, and, as luck would have it, she needs to be bred this weekend. ISF to the rescue one more time! I can always count on Meghan to save my ass. She had extra Florianus and Sir Sinclair. I love the temperament and rideability of Florianus, plus he was successful at Grand Prix--additionally, the pictures I've seen of his adult offspring are impressive. So, when Meghan suggested him, I said, "Let's do it."
This could mean a middle of March baby...hmmm....who has a birthday in the middle of March? A liver chestnut foal would make a super 54th birthday present next year!

New Website and New Journal Format
Over the past 13 or 14 years that my journal has been published on shootingstarfarm.com, there have been literally hundreds of you who have emailed thoughts, encouragement, questions, and hate mail. Well, it's about time to give my journal a more interactive and immediately gratifying factor. The only rule is that all posts need to be signed--no aliases and no anonymous posts. Agree, disagree, question, comment...it's all good.
