Here's to the future.

I haven't updated the website or blog in over a year but figured now is a good of time as ever. I have the time and the thoughts.

A lot has gone on since then. We relocated to Moses Lake, WA and while it's done some good in some ways, in others it has not. We lost Lady Katterli two weeks before her due date with McGraw's first foal. There was never any real closure with her death and while we come up on her one year anniversary of her death, I still dream about how awesome that foal could've been. So pictured above is McGraw's first live foal out of CR Wienna aka Pumpkin. His name is Khing of Spades AMB and was sold before he was born. McGraw has one foal coming this year out of CR Artesian Cyte aka Misty. Eurespeciale aka Destiny was also bred although we've not been able to confirm her in foal... although her history via what others have told me is she hides it really, really well. We are breeding KK Saphira, Eeesprada and CR Wienna this year.

McGraw is going to visit with Nicole in April through August to be bred to her mare and hopefully a couple others. Because she's closer to a couple breeding facilities, we're going to get him tested for shipping while he's there too and maybe get him shipped off to a couple people. I know this writing is kinda info dumpy. My minds been flooded with a lot of plans and getting things done around here as we have a lot going on. The reality is things are moving faster now and I'm finding that I need to keep up when my mind would rather be lazy and pushing is hard when you want to be molasses. The past year sulking in depression over what would've been the best foal I've ever bred hasn't helped with kickstarting my motivation. I'm getting there though. It's just taking a little bit.

We've been in Moses Lake for over a year now and while I've enjoyed the sun I've learned a few things. I don't like wind in the plains. While I had dreams of Arabians running over flat stretches of land, kicking up dust... I actually miss the rain and the grass. The lack of veterinary care over here and general horse care availability have also brought a level of anxiety I wasn't anticipating. So we've started looking for a place to buy and our final move, hopefully. Somewhere in the south western side of Washington. It's hard to pull yourself out of the darkness but I'm honestly glad I've done so finally. It'll be nice to see what our next foals look like because Khing has turned out way better than I anticipated.
