One of my very best broodmares is a big Moscow Ballet mare. She throws the most GORGEOUS foal. In fact she is overdue now.

His legacy is definitely in his daughters. The same can be said for his half brother, Peterhof, as well.

He was a tough, good looking handful, just last January at the stallion show at Harris. He sure didn't look ready to go.

Slowing down sure. But not ready to go. :(

So sad. :(

My mare must have his temperament. She is a monster to handle, and an ogre once she has a foal (fiercely protective and will actively attack anyone or anything that tries to get within five feet of the foal). We got a beautiful colt this year.
