[Irish Hills Farm]

Thank you everyone for the congrats! I appreciate it.

I still can't believe it. When I was typing the announcement I had to stop a couple of times just to try and let it sink in.

And yes, it'll seem like a long time waiting for Nat'ls to end so we can stop at Erica's and pick Bandito & Penny up to bring them home. I think there may be plenty of tears from both Erica and I that day.

As far as standing him to stud, probably so as an introduction/announcement that he is here now. As I plan to advertise him in the February/Stallion issue of The Journal. I do have to say, I'm going to be picky about the mares he breeds and will limit the number of outside mares he covers.

Thanks again everyone!

I may not be able to sleep tonight now that this is all official.
