Re: PM

Thanks, Tiz. I will do that. Just on an antedotal level, it seems like they have a lot of breakdowns up there. I will trust that you meant "anecdotal" :) Hope against hope that life continues well for Always Gold the eldest foal of our "big mare", Always Pleasing. He was supposed to run today, his ...

our broodie I B Paranoide is a flaxen maned sabino. http://www.irishhuntersandjumpers.com/Lacey.html The filly foal in these photos shed out to be a wildly roaned and speckled-spotted girl - and her mane has shed out to creamy silver, her tail is just flaxen. Quite the fancy baby girl. the mare's pe...

I think you're reading the nicking stats - to get Adbass's stats, enter one of his foals. Ah, you are so correct... http://www.equineline.com/Free-5X-Pedigree.cfm?page_state=PROCESS_SUBMIT&horse_name=AdAblurr&foaling_year=1996&dam_name=MurrPhil&x=51&y=16&nicking_stats_indica...

Adbass

Well, that's sad to hear, but thanks very much for letting me know. The photo on his PQ page looks like he was having a pretty good life, it's "dated" 2007. He was a sweetheart of a stallion when I met him a dozen years ago - that was when he was still standing at Leckbee Thoroughbreds in Onalaska W...

Adbass?

Just saw that some kind soul had posted a rather lovely picture of the old boy on his link in PQ - still looking pretty doggone good at 22 years young. I know he came over here from England - but thought that he was also either English or Irish bred - how can I find that out for certain? Can anybody...

OH yeah....... our broodie I. B. Paranoide does this - and ALL of her kids do too, regardless of sire!

She also SNORES - huge, moaning, resounding snoring...... and her yearling filly (just like mom) is even noisier. Glad they sleep in the barn!

La Lorgnette

I have scoured the 'net, cannot seem to find a photo of this mare anyplace! You would think, as she was Champion Filly in Canada in 1985, that there would be one image, someplace, but I am striking out. Can anyone here point me to a photo of her? One of our lovely mares is a granddaughter - just pie...

God, that is so sad.... Those infernal floods had such widespread effect - right out to throwing cold water literally on the Winter Mixed sale, where a couple of yearlings were simply left - abandoned - after they didn't sell. Condolences to the Walts, that's got to be awful. Jennywho, I'm AdAblurr ...

FWIW, the only Prince John linebred horses I have seen with feet or leg issues were the BIG hunter types - too much horse over too little foot - usually exacerbated (or possibly created!) by fashionable farriery.... If they had been allowed to grow two years barefoot, I'm betting the horses would ha...

Looks like a filly of hers sold through the WTBA 2004 summer sale - hip 62, and a colt in 2002. I'm not finding anything on her directly, immediately, but could swear I've seen her in a sale sometime in the past several years.... possibly I'm just remembering the name on her get, though. http://www....
