I have been fielding several enquiries from people asking why 2009 would be GG's last full year at stud, and this is the reason. I didnt want any loose ends in 2010 which is when he heads over there and I wanted to know that all mares bred were safely confirmed in foal and he could close this chapter in his breeding career and begin a new one in the European market.
Pearl has a few in utero obligations to fulfill as well and once those are behind her, she will then leave in 2010 or 2011 and join the rest of them as well.
There are a few more sales / announcements on the horizon
and once they are also finalized, I will be letting everyone know what is happening in those areas as well
No - I am no getting out of breeding. Far from it
but I do miss the showing very very much and I am finding it is tough running a full time business (the bedding business), along with the full time breeding business plus looking after the farm and that means I end up missing out on what I really enjoyed doing the most - which is the showing aspect with the youngsters...
So ... I am keeping the 2009 and 2010 GG/Puchi Trap foals and will show them in the Hunter Breeding classes and then either sell them at some point down the road or hang onto them and show them in the Hunter ring in the years to come. I may end up with the 2010 Pearl foal and if I do, I will decide what direction I will head in with that one as well
Faux Finish will form the cornerstone of my future breeding program, but until 2011 only at which time SHE then embarks on a new chapter in her life as well and I am hoping throughout 2009, 2010 and part of 2011 we can flush and freeze embryo's from her, by such wonderful stallions such as Redwine, Balou du Rouet, Coluer Rubin, Alligator Fontaine and possibly Khartoon Khlassic for something totally different and unique! I will then implant one of those embryo's each year into a recipient mare and cross my fingers that I can get a Faux Finish baby each year for the next 5-10 years to show and have fun with
And at THAT point, once I have no more Faux Finish babies left to "hatch", yeah - I will probably be ready to retire at about that point in time ...
... and hang up my pitchfork for good and you can all come and visit me down in the Cayman's or somewhere equally warm and snow free! 
Goldfields is going to have the ultimate coloured Sport Horse breeding program on the other side of the ocean. They have a young up and coming cremello WB colt as well that will be presented and shown and are now sourcing some beautifully bred, successfully shown WB mares to breed to him, to GG and to Remember My Name in the years to come
Remember My Name will be presented to the Trakehner Registry as a 3 year old over in Europe and I believe that will also allow him to be Oldenburg approved as well and he will then embark on a show career and GG - we are going to see what options are open for him as an "older" stallion, with his CSHA approval, to get accepted into one of the European registries as well.
We will be freezing semen for both GG and RMN to have on hand here for North American breeders in the years to come and will also have some semen available from the young WB colt - Marco - once it is available.
So - thats the scoop for the time being! Stay tuned for "Phase II" which will be announced shortly ...
No plans yet, but that is where I would love to retire!
... I'd rather deal with sunburn to be honest ...
