Upperville Horse Show:  

Congratulations to Pam Martin and Padi's Classic Reunion RID from Irish Breeze Farm on their 3rd place in the Irish Draught Hunter class at Upperville a few weeks ago.  Despite being the youngest horse in the ring, and mud everywhere they put in a solid performance in all phases - hunter hack including a hand gallop, over fences, conformation, and ridden assessment by a professional rider.

5/27/09 - Fox Hollow updates
NEW PASTURE: With the 4 mares with new foals, 2 two-year-olds, 4 yearlings (2 of whom are intact colts), and 3 year old Ellie all on our small farm we were delighted beyond description when our neighbor offered pasture for 3 of the mares and foals.  They are now moved and running up and down the hills and we are finally able to rest one of our fields.  Aoefe is the only one who is not thrilled with the arrangement.  She is so accustomed to having her people at her beck and call for petting and scratching that the adjustment is taking a little time. 

Sarah is back to work full time so Jasper is back hard at work and looking forward to several prospective buyer visits in June.

Loguestown Classic RID delivered a beautiful filly by Silver Granite RID on Friday, 4/24.  Her name is Banner.

Shuttlewood Rose (Grania) and Regalia Prince Arthur (Tristan)'s filly is a hard core people lover.   Her name is Aoefa (eefa) Born 4/6
Magrathea and Tristan's colt is very energetic much to his dam's annoyance at times. It is proving very difficult to get traditional photos of this active fellow as he is just not the posing sort. Born 4/6


The foals are coming! The foals are coming!
Regalia Prince Arthur's first two foals raced to be the historic first arrival over the weekend with Magrathea's strapping colt winning by a nose early this morning.  Shuttlewood Rose's filly followed a mere 25 minutes later.  Both sets of moms and babes are doing well and Diane is catching up on her sleep for the first time in days. First photos are on the blog - more to follow as soon as the weather improves. 4/6/09

Wow, time has sure flown by!  Can't believe it is March already.  Soon the showing and breeding seasons will again be in full swing.  A few catch up notes:

The Meehans report that Mountain Pearl is in fine shape and nearly ready for the stallion parades which start in Cavan April 2.

FIVE of the Fox Hollow mares are due to foal in April.  Portia, Maggie, and Grania are expecting Tristan's first batch of foals and Rachel and Alanna are due with Silver Granite foals.  Diane is trying to get ahead on her sleep now!

 Padi's Copper Flash (aka Rooney)

 

 

Our dear friend Carol passed away over the weekend.  Although we know she is now free of pain, enjoying the company of the critters that went before her, our hearts are saddened to no longer have her in our lives.  Her joy at watching Rooney grow from a gangly youngster to a strong competitor was a pleasure for all of us. 

You are missed, lovely lady. 1/19/2009
