We've grown pretty rapidly!
After our sale of 2 weanlings to England, four bred mares and 2 yearling colts all in new homes this year ........
that still leaves 46 horses total with #47 arriving first of October (that's still a secret).
7 stallions (5 breeding stallions, 1 yearling stallion and 1 non-breeding AMHR driving fun family stallion - gee, maybe I should offer him for stud so he earns something to cover his feed? lol)
7 weanlings (4 colts, 3 fillies)
9 yearlings (all fillies - mostly retained from our previous foal season)
Rest are bred mares (yikes! 24 bred mares!)
3 of the bred mares belong to Elaine Jones as they are bred to our Buckeroo son.
Her 3 mares live here full time so while we don't actually own them - we care for them and love them of course - and will be foaling them out along side our own.
Elaine has a special place in our hearts here at White Tail and is the only outside farm exposed to our Buckeroo son - with her 30+ years as a breeder – it was a huge compliment that she approved of our Buckeroo son to breed three of her top mares to him. These will be his first foals and she’s sharing in the excitement.
