If you're looking to produce something for the hunter ring, A Fine Romance is standing in Maryland this spring. (He's normally in Ontario but is doing a 'guest season' there, IIRC.)

Thanks, Brendan. Yes, I rather like my mare's lines too :D . I wasn't really in the market for a broodmare when I came across her at Fort Erie, but she was so striking and then when I was told what her breeding was, I figured I'd take the plunge.

Snagged a service to him in a charity auction for a good price. My mare is Great Lady (the 1996 model, if you look ...

Hi Katie, I'm by no means an expert on breeding for the track, but my impression is that no-one's much interested in Birdonthewire as a racehorse sire here in Ontario any more. I have a four-year-old colt by Bird, and very much like the horse (and am thrilled with his son), but unfortunately he hasn...
