I have one with a 5x5 tail female. Would you like one ? I'm thinking of parting with her, although it's killing me. The economics of the business are brutal. Sometimes they force you to part with things you love. Her name is Polish Socialite.

She's ready to cycle. She has a traecheotomy, which is no big deal, she breaths through her throat, she's had it since she was 2. George Smith valued her at $40K when I bought her for less at the Timonium sale. I have a Twining yealing filly by her. She's in Unionville PA and I had planned to send her to Harry the Hat, the only Seattle Slew in PA. She loves Slew. $20K you can pick her up. Her yearling was just evaluated by Eaton as worth $15K.

Reenci, you have a PM. I have a 1987 mare with La Troienne as her 4th dam for sale. Prefer to sell after she foals. Nice mare produces nice foals. Located in NY

I have one who is seven times removed but her third dam is Fashion Verdict.

She's unraced and her dam has not done much over here but her dad is Fairy King and she is he father's daughter in conformation.

1997 model and I don't really care if she does nothing in the broodmare arena (but I think she can) as she is just the nicest horse I have ever met. Nothing bothers her. Total sweetheart.

This one will be looked after for life.

Her name is Pearl Cove 1987 model by Solford (Nijinksy II) out of Black Pearl by Round Table. Black Pearl is a stakes winner/stakes producer/granddam of stakes winners. Asking $3500 not including the foal she is carrying but we will breed back to any of our stallions at no charge.
