We have been busy ploughing putting in oats for the new foals for some nice munching this summer. We have moved the pregnant mares into the ‘Chappel’ paddock which is next to the house and close to the foaling paddocks. (Yes, it’s a real working Chappel). Our foals are due from mid September as we bred later last season as I had a baby of my own (see below!)We’ve been burning off the old grass to make way for the new fresh growth (Actually it was just to make more work for Grant - spraying weeds and direct drilling in fertiliser and pasture seed!!)Breed To Succeed. E Newsletter September 2011 Issue 15, 1st September 2011Breeding Season Off To A Great StartInfact the time is just right. October coverings and November coverings are more than OK for 2yo racing. Champion 2yo Octagonal was an October foal—his dam covered in November, and Lonhro was born on the 10th of December. As Henry Fields of Newgate Farm (formerly from Coolmore) once told me “A broodmare not in foal is like a rental property with no tenant!” Payment plans can be prearranged and extend until 30th June 2012! Transport is just $550 ex Brisbane or Melbourne. Call me (Peta) today on (02) 63379269 for a chat.

Colour Blind??  Not us. 

Quote worthy of mention“Just Do It!” - Nike In this months Breeding And Racing Magazine, Pedigree Analyst Jane Henning puts to rest the myth that colour can effect a horses athletic ability. Jane writes “Any geneticist can tell you that there is no correlation between coat colour and athletic ability” and “Selection of racehorses is a very difficult task. Factors such as conformation, genetic compatibility of the parents, nutrition and temperament influence our choices. But at least you can rule a line through ‘colour’ as having any bearing on the inheritance of racing ability” Read moreHere at WCF we were already in the know, and Apache Cat has put to rest the myth that a horse with four white legs can’t run. With our quality and selective breeding program it is only time before a coloured thoroughbred makes headlines for more than his colour. Why not make it yours?
