We had an exciting year at the farm with our mare Preia being sold prior to the birth of her foal to upper level event riders Susie and rAmanda Beale. Preia had a healthy Cerulean Nightlife colt for the Beale family that they will produce for eventing.  Our mare Qismah had her first Cerulean Nightlife foal, a stunning grey colt we call Qismet.  We also welcomed 7 healthy foals from client mares across the country, two of which were full purebred Irish Draughts, for a total of 9 2023 foals on the ground.   Rue's total offspring at the end of 2023 is 29, 15 colts and 14 fillies.

SLSH had three new foals from Cerulean Nightlife to add to the family this spring, two fillies and one colt, all gray.  His foals from outside breedings all arrived without incident as well, putting his annual offspring on the ground to 8 and his total offspring to 20.   His first baby, Cerulean's Delight continued showing in eventing this year as a four year old.  Three year old, Breeland, was started under saddle and has proven to be following in her father's footsteps with her willingness to please and quiet nature.   Several babies moved to new homes across the country.

Rue has 8 confirmed mares in foal for 2022. Dr. Ronda Stavisky has been instrumental in gaining more interest in him by adding him to her stallion roster and improving the quality of his semen for shipping with her vast expertise.  We are so excited for the arrival of new foals next year!  Huge thank you to all our clients who bred to Rue!  At SLSH, we welcomed the arrival of three healthy foals and also one outside mare who foaled a lovely black colt.  Rue's first foal from 2018 was started under saddle this year!  We are so impressed by the easy going attitude and quality of their gaits and jumping form.  We attended  another Young Horse show with a filly from 2019 who scored 9's and was so impressive over fences.  To date, about 50% of his foals have been gray, while the other 50% have been a variety of coat colors, including pinto.  In addition, the year ended with Rue's first baby attending her first schooling three phase show with her owner Hana Swales aboard.  

We bred four mares successfully this year as well who all foaled out uneventfully in 2021.  We welcomed our three foals  from last year's breedings and our client's mare also had her healthy baby too. Rue's first baby turned two this year and attended the Young Horse Show with great marks and compliments from the judges. We acquired additional broodmares too this year. Rue's babies were two bays and two grays out of TB and Warmblood mares.

We bred four mares including one outside mare all of which had wonderful healthy babies in 2020.  Three healthy foals were born at SLSH and we enjoyed the year of their growth and development learning what to expect from Rue's offspring.  Rue's babies were two grays and two bays out of TB and warmblood mares.

Our first foal was born this year and we were so happy to have an fantastic broodmare who took right to her new job.  We bred three of our own mares this year too who successfully became pregnant on their first try.  Rue became acquainted with the mount and breeding routine with Breeding Manager , Katie Korsack this year.  We are so grateful for all she taught Rue and the education in breeding and foaling we received as well.  

We brought Rue home late in July from Kentucky to successfully breed one of our TB mares to him.  Being so new and green in the process, we spent the rest of year getting to know one another and establishing a relationship.
