As most of you know, I was on the lookout for a black and *blingy* TB mare forever, but anything I found, very honestly fell short in what I wanted to include in my breeding program. And funnily enough, I kept comparing them to Nightlight - saying "she" didnt have as nice a neck, or as pretty a head, or as good movement, etc as Nightlight did. I guess I was mentally using Nightlight as the yardstick, and the measurement of what I wanted to buy ...
I made the decision last week to buy her back again and she will do some showing and will get bred. The Europeans follow the mandate of "Breeding the Best and Riding the Rest" and it has been very successful for them in their breeding programs and that is the model I will be following as well. She is, of course, the full sister to Faux Finish, Chai Latte, Remember My Name, Blonde In A Motel, etc ...
So - we will be selecting predominantly (or only) WB stallions for her to get bred to and will select simply the best stallions available for her, so that we can really showcase what the Guaranteed Gold offspring are capable of producing into the next generation as well ...
She is showing at the Devon Horse Show on June 4th and then I will be picking her up to bring her home again around the 7th or 8th. I can hardly wait to get her home again and to get new pictures of her as well ...
These are the only pictures I have of her from last year, but will be getting PLENTY more once she gets home!
