Just wondering what foals you are expecting come spring. I've got an Ichi Ban foal coming from my maiden TB mare. Should be an interesting cross, I'm thinking hunter thoughts!

We're expecting two Tzigane foals around St. Patrick's Day (won't that be fun thinking of names?!). We were so thrilled w/Herzmond last year, we re-bred Hennie (Muenchhausen TSF - E.H. Rockefeller) and are keeping our fingers crossed for a filly. The second one will be out of our maiden mare, Pr.St. Schoene Symphonie (Polarpunkt - E.H. Tenor).

I'm going to be trying to get one started for the next spring. Any of you guys ever use the stallion service auction? There are a couple interesting buys in there, but I'm unsure of shipped semen - my mare took three or four tries to get her in foal the first time - and I no longer have a "spare".

Well, if worst came to worst, I think I could get a mare from a client of mine who has some darn fine Arabs - but of course I'd much rather have one from my own (PSB) mare. Also, have there been any security hang-ups messing up shipments of semen from Canada?

My mare wouldn't take this past year!!!  She is the dam of my colt by Impressionist that did so well this year, and yes we were rebreeding her to same stud... We tried to breed her several times - with vet, ultrasounds, etc and no go. The bad news is, we have to biopsy her to find out what is wrong. Vet feels something is definetly wrong as she should have taken either of the last two times (she was defiently ovulating at the time of insemination). Ultrasound shows cloudiness over Right ovary... So no TK babies, but I will have a LATE (Sept) pony baby out of my Welsh cross (11.3 hh) and by a Connamarra stud!!

I'm expecting a Feuertanzer baby out of Pyrrha (Graditz/Pasteur), and a Waitaki baby out of Zaubermaus (Tambour/Caprimond).

Shawnda, the Waitaki foal sounds very interesting, what did you like about him (other than he is flat out gorgeous!)
acotton: I've got a problem mare too that I am considering trying again. She is 18 and its just going to get harder. She has given me 2 great foals from Advocate and Stiletto but she wasn't easy to get started! She had a false pregnancy last year as her latest trick, who knows what she'll try this year.

well, I try to breed for jumpers, and with his uphill, very athletic build, I thought he would be a great choice for my mare. Also my mare is line bred to Caprimond, so I was also looking for "outside blood". The plus is that he is only available in Europe so I am bringing that outside blood to North America. Now lets hope for a filly !

Karen - thanks for the encouragement! My coming 2 year old colt was her first foal - she will be 14 next year. We had problems getting her to settle her first year too (it took all of the first year breeding her - 7 covers - plus one additional cover the next year to get my colt) so I'm not entirely surprised that she is so difficult to settle this time! Hopefully it won't be anything major. It is sicking to think that this colt could be the only offspring from this cross! The vet did an ultrasound on her the other day and she has cloudiness over her right ovary so we'll biopsy her in the next month or so and see what happens. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your mare as well as mine!
Christina - I'm curious to know how you know that one of the stallion's first two babies will be a filly. Did you do a test? I'll be curious to find out how accurate it is if you did!

I don't have a Trakehener coming next year, but I do have a foal on the way that will be registered Oldenburg (GOV) (although mom and pop come from mostly Westphalian breeding). Mom's my Romana (Ramiros Son I/Lustig II/Romulus I) and Pop's Pablo (Pilot/Matrox/Lancelot). Should be some jumping ability and good movement, too! (Actually, there is some Trakehener in the pedigrees of Romana and Pablo. Romana goes back to Ramzes [I know, he's anlgo-arab, but an influence in Trakeheners, too] via both her mother and father. Pablo goes back to Ramzes and Keith.)
I'm not sure if I will breed Romana next year. But, I keep thinking that I might, and that I might breed her to a Trakehner that is GOV approved. I've sort of been thinking about Michelangelo for her for some time. Pablo was a great choice for her, too. I decided to go with him because I thought the match had potential and I could get fresh semen which I thought would increase my chances as she hadn't had a foal (or been bred) for 2 years. Her other 2 foals were conceived with frozen; however, since she was 14 this year and open I thought I'd play it more conservatively and go with fresh semen from a stallion with good quality semen, that has proven himself with his offspring and undersaddle, who wasn't showing anymore, and who has an owner who is great to work with. It's very annoying when you are trying to breed to a stallion who always seems to be off at a show the weekend when you need to breed your mare! This is one of Murphy's Laws of horse breeding!
Of course, there's always some new stallion stallion coming along to consider or some new stallion in the US to consider! This is part of the fun!

OH that is just too cool!!! I was told that you can't ultrasound after a certain date as the foal is just too big to be able to see anything but "mass" - how many months along is she?? I will be very interested to see how accurate it is!

Well, the neighbors dogs found a fetus in the field this past week, and I'm pretty sure it was the Waitaki baby out of Zaubermaus. So I'll will only be expecting one baby next year. I am very much looking forward to a new year, as I don't think I'll ever have as bad a year as 2004 was !

Shawnda, how awful! 
That is worse than not getting them in foal at all. I am very sorry

Shawnda, So sorry to hear about your loss!
Oakstable,
I didn't base my decision on the Trakehner in Pablo's pedigree...I was just establishing a connection to this forum...alright! its a slim connection! It was just an interesting bit of info! Marefield Meadows has 2 Pablo daughters one of which has Ramiro and which I saw at a clinic about training a horse to jump in the chute at Hilltop Farm early this year. She was an example of a horse that knnew how to do it. A very powerful jumper! She got a 9 in her mare performace testing for jumping in 2003. So, I'm rather optimistic.

Oh Shawnda, that is so sad. Condolences on your loss and hopefully Zaubermaus is well - she's a wonderful mare.

We are expecting 8 foals this year are excited about every cross. The most anticipated foal, though, is probably the Askar AA foal out of the beautiful Maizauber daughter, Padua Go. I can't decide if I want a filly or a colt from that cross. The other crosses are:
Feuertaenzer x Pagan (Kaspareit)
Tanzeln x Tropenperle (Tempelritter)
Kostolany x Sidney (Schubert)
Kostolany x Victree (Kaspareit)
Leonidas x Kalliste (Amadeus)
Emeer x Marcella (Vincent)
Incantare x Reika (PSB TB)
Good luck to everyone on their foaling and rebreeding in 2005!
Heather
