Little Black Dot Thread

I did not see if we have already started the annual little black dot thread. I apologize if I missed it!
So tell us about your little black dots…

We had our first confirmed pregnancy this week. Romancing Rio (Rio Grande/Dynamik/Duerkheim) was confirmed in foal to Goldmaker! We are very excited for a guaranteed buckskin baby in 2014 :slight_smile:

Checked my first today and have Elite Rehobeth ( Riverman/ Hullabaloojah xx) in foal to Chicardo.

Congrats guys!! I find out Wednesday if I have a “black dot” fingers crossed! It will be EEF Landelina (Landkonig X Elito) in foal to Bosch Blue (Cantos X Mr. Blue) …positive thinking :wink:

I’m 2 weeks away from finding out my mares! Crossing fingers and toes.

Vienna (Gentleman x Nagano x Voltaire) checked in foal to Lupicor yesterday. :slight_smile:

Line breeding Redfort, Elizabeth Callahan! I will be excited to see that foal as I have seen Chicardo in the flesh, watched him jump and have thought of him for my Premium Riverman mare.

One black dot (0LD TB Flying Mountain) X Bon Balou!!! Yay. One not. AHS Simone X Sir Wanabi. Boo! Trying again this week!

1 down 9 to go. Photographed below Kaiserin’s (Kaiser de la Cour x Lantaan) 14 day check to Escudo I. Tomorrow is her 30 day check! Fingers crossed.

Saw the black dot last week!! Rascalino bun in the oven :smiley:

My girl checked in foal earlier this month (or last, I guess), can’t remember the cover date offhand but it’s approximately 3/20. :slight_smile: Our best stallion is going great guns, has 12 of his first 13 mares in foal of the ones that enough time has passed to vet check. :smiley:

Yesterday we confirmed both mares in foal to our stallion. First cover for both, first cycle/try certainly can’t complain about that. In 2012 we ended up with two very nice fillies from the same pairings. Hoping 2014 just brings us 2 healthy foals but carbon copies of the 2012 crop would be awesome. No need to list bloodlines for y’all 'cause we breed something other than ‘of the blood’.

Prime Time (San Amour / Rouletto / Inschallah) is confirmed in foal to Grey Flanell

Farina (Fabriano / Donnerhall / Luaries Crusador xx) is confirmed in foal to DaCaprio

Dan

I just bred my mare yesterday! Will update in two weeks… The mare is a pointmaker/prinz Gaylord to Wild Dance!..ok! We have our black dot!

and now we have our heartbeat!

Due to being extremely superstitious I don’t announce pregnancies now until they are at least 30 days along :slight_smile: Falling into that category so far:

VDL Silverstone x Special Feature HH (Special Memories/Galoubet)

Lagoheidor x Porta Westfalica (Polydor/Peloponnes xx)

Cardento x Porta Westfalica (Polydor/Peloponnes xx)

And more to come soon, I think!

My Rapport/Franat mare was checked in foal today to Bliss MF! So excited! This will be the 3/4 sibling to my super fancy 2013 chestnut filly by Amazing

I have another Bliss baby. My A Fine Romance/Riverman mare is in foal. Done for the year…

My Landkonig mare checked in foal to Bosch Blue (Cantos X Mr. Blue) today!! I was so worried about everything “working” to plan…she didn’t take the first time, then she was cycled in, checked on a Monday, she was a 42mm…The earliest I could get the semen at that point was Wednesday. We gave her 15cc of Regumate Mon/Tues then checked her prior to breeding on Wednesday and she had a 47mm follicle!! So we bred her on that and lucked in!! SO excited for this foal!! :slight_smile:
