Little Black Dot Thread

Yay. My Beach Boy mare is in foal to Bon Balou. Looking forward to this as she has been open for the last 3 years and her 3 year old filly is turning out to be very nice.

We now have 5 black dots here. :slight_smile: Hopefully, in 2 weeks we will have number 6 and will be done for the year!!

Our Federweisser/Weltruhm mare was confirmed in foal yesterday to Sir Wanabi! Really looking forward to seeing this foal. After a lovely chestnut colt out of this mare by a black stallion last year I’m hoping for a keeper filly, and not upset that I’ll have a guaranteed black this year. ;)[/QUOTE]

I have the same, a chestnut mare to Sir Wanabi. This is EM Panache (Pablo-Gold Luck-Weltmeyer), who is about 80 days in foal. I am looking forward to this cross.

In order of arrival…or hopeful arrival.

Dante Weltino out of Rosalea (Rubinstein/Argentinus) Rosaela has had three of her offspring compete in the Finals of the US Young Horse Championships and I have kept two of them for my personal riding horses. They are the best.

Roubaix out Fiderline (Fidertanz/Harvard) The first time I did this cross the resulting colt was a Foal of Distinction.

Manchester City to La Donnarina (Donnerhall/Pik Bube)

Dante Weltino to Aussprache ( Licotus/Quo Vadis)

Quatensprung to De Lovely ( Dormello/Rubsintein)

Bon Balou to Tahiti (Lamento/Tin Rocco) being bred tomorrow

Escolar to Solar Eclipse ( Sir Donnerhall/Espri) awaiting foal check

Dimaggio to Florenzio ( Florencio/Lady’s King) being bred Friday.

My chestnut Westfalen mare “Serengeti” (Puritano x Sarona) is 33+ days in foal to Goldmaker! Really excited to see this cross! the mare is 16’3" and has produced tall with both previous foals Thanks Kathy!!

After what seems like a very long season, we have four confirmed out of six attempted -

Harvard x Injoy (Ideal/Gepard/Argentinus)
Harvard x Dramatic (Donatelli/xx)
Furst Impression x Skattered Dreams (Dream in Gold xx/xx)
Furst Impression x Miss Marple (Mielensteifel/Brentano) two years of trying (6th attempt) so we’re very happy!

Congrats to everyone else, and can’t wait until next spring… what a long wait! :o

Can I have some jingles for tomorrow’s vet appointment? Checking out Tripolis (Candi’s Gold X Sewing Derby-Master Derby) in foal to Sempatico! I’m off schedule due to holiday week/vet vacation (! shame on me!) so I do know she has not teased back in heat…[/QUOTE]

We have a beautiful little black dot with heartbeat! Thanks to Liz for delivering the goods and to my friend/partner in crime for the loan of her lovely mare!

My Vico (Alme Z) mare had her 30 day heartbeat check on Wednesday & all is well for a May 2014 Aram (Nimmerdor/Uppercut) foal. I know plenty of you have heard me gushing enough, but my mare is 19 & had never been bred with frozen before. I’m certainly counting my blessings!

I’ll be booking her back to Baldev (Namelus R/Dageraad) as soon as humanly possible for next year for a full sibling to this year’s colt.

Two of my broodmares seem hellbent on making sure there is no little black dot this summer…:cry:
SO - I will have to live vicariously through all these lovely sounding black-dots. :winkgrin:

Some of these crosses sound beautiful! Congratulations, everyone.

Two more of my mares confirmed at 30 days! Both Odina and Lantana Melodie are in foal to Bon Balou :slight_smile: !!

I hope I won’t jinx myself, but we so far have 2 mares confirmed in foal:

SPS Destemona by De Niro is 18 days in foal to San Amour and Donna Magica by Dormello is 24 days in foal to Floriscount as of today.

I will feel more confortable when both heartbeats will be found in couple of days :slight_smile: But it is a good start and I am very thankfull to my vet who again did a super job!

Yahoo!!! All done here with 6 black dots!!!

Great 45 day check on Vivacious (Cardento/Calando stamm 776) x Carracci (Caretino/Grundyman xx) :slight_smile:

Our Special Premium mare Florenzio ( Florencio/Lady’s King) checked in foal today to Dimaggio. Am so excited Dimaggio frozen works!

^^ how did the DiMaggio look?

Congratulations! That is heartening to know.

Did not check the Dimaggio but it worked and I am thrilled! Tried with Glock’s Voice first and that did not work. And this is the mare that double ovulated last year and I bred to Totilas…and no pregnancy. So am thinking the Dimaggio must be pretty good semen (-:

Final black dot of the season confirmed in Germany this morning. SPS Solar Eclipse (Sir Donnerhall/Espri) is in foal to Escolar (Estobar/Furst Piccolo). And a heartbeat found on our Quatensprung/Dormello embryo. Done for the year!

Both our San Amour x De Niro embryo and our Floriscount x Dormello embryo have confirmed heartbeats. I am very happy, and a little bit relieved. Still 10 months to go, but it is a good start :slight_smile:

Spike and Nancy - your recipes sound absolutely delicious. (I am dressage focused) I love your stallion choices for your great mares.
