The catalog will be up and running and online tomorrow night. I just have to finish uploading the files (which is taking forever).

I do have this one uploaded and I have to do some advertising for my college and my babies I helped foal out this spring...

The farm manager is sending two of the best weanlings to the sale. With the large influx of donated thoroughbreds, she simply cannot house all the babies, so she consigned the two most exciting in hopes of getting a fair price.

Anyway, I want to promote this baby here - because she's awesome and I think she might go for a song. She is a weanling, but she's going to be a heck of a deal for someone.

Her page is empty - but her second dam had only two foals and her first dam has only one foal racing:

But she is a spectacular individual. Her foaling project group called me at midnight one night to help them with the foaling. I wandered down to the foaling barn all groggy and crabby - but the moment I peeked into the stall I woke up and said "damn! that's a nice one!"

Here she is at less than 1 month:

Last time I saw her, she was 3 months and I almost drove off the road. Fantastic filly.

end commerical... time to sleep:)
