News From New Perth Farms

Sales
We have sold three of our 2009 foals. Espertina (Sir Oldenburg/Floristan), Enkeur (Lord Sinclair/Tango) and Evieta (Johnson/Jet Set) have been sold. We are very pleased that all three of these foals will go to good training stables. All three of these foals will remail at NPF until they are at least yearlings.

Breedings.

We have two confirmed pregnancies for 2010. Veganieta (Jazz/Zeoliet) to Contango and Waltzlina (JetSet/Haarlem) to Johnson. Three more mare have been bred and will be checked soon and we expect to breed two more in the next week.

MORE FOAL PHOTOS

Sir Oldenburg/Idocus/Quattro

Donatelli/Welt Hit II/Zeoliet

The latest arrivals are a week old and we took some photos of the two colts.

The foals of '09.

We now have all our ’09 foals on the ground. The final two came late Friday early Saturday. We expected them because it was show weekend and mares like to complicate things. We always say foaling is like “House Arrest” because of the limits it puts on being away from the farm. Both were on time with healthy foals and that is the big trill of breeding horses , seeing a new foal healthy and getting to its feet. Both mares had had foals before and were total professionals about looking after the foals. We usually milk the mares and feed the foals as much colostrum as they will drink to insure they get adequate antibodies. We have the vet do an IGG Snap test to check that antibody transfer was adequate at about 18hrs after birth. If it is low we can use frozen colostrum from another mare or use some blood plasma.

This years foals are:

Four fillies , Enieta ( Brentano II/ Jazz)
Elzarma (Concorde/Hamlet)
Espertina (Sir Oldenburg/Floristan)
Evieta (Johnson/Jet Set)

And three colts, Enkeur (Lord Sinclair/Tango)
Excalabur (Donatelli/Welt Hit II)
Exault (Sir Oldenburg/Idocus)

Two new foals

Excalibur (Donatelli/Welt Hit II)

Exault (Sir Oldenburg/Idocus)

It was a busy week end with two new colts. Virtual Rose (Idocus/Quattro) presented us with a colt by Sir Oldenburg. Shortly after that Verginia (Welt Hit II/Zeoliet) gave birth to another colt by Donatelli.

This completes foaling at New Perth Farms for '09. We have four fillies and three colts which makes a full house for us ! The first five mares have been bred back and we wait the prgnancy checks in two weeks to see what we will have for 2010.

Three Year Old's Training

Bolshoy (Donatelli/Jet Set)

Bagatelle (Donnatelli/Jazz)

Bastion (Sandreo/Floristan)

At three years old we continue with light training under saddle. The two geldings and one filly get several sessions a week under saddle. These sessions are short and just last as long as the young horses are relaxed and wanting to go. All three are progressing well

Photo

Some times you have a photo which is just so weird you have to share it. Florientina was having a roll and her filly was looking on. The dandelions are in full flower and do a great job of staining white sox

Its pasture season !

Sunny day !!

Enieta (Bretano II/Jazz)

Demarko and Dainoso
