Breeding Specials for 2010 anyone?

Anyone heard of any good ones? Anyone planning on breeding in 2010?

I'm not as my mare just foaled this past May and needs a break (as do I!) and I want to breed to Edelweiss duBonce next time and may keep the baby depending on how he turns out - in which case I want a few years between my current colt (to be gelded) and the next one.

I did hear that Avalon Equine (Welcome to Avalon Equine ~ Quality Performance Sport Horses) is running an early bird special for the first 10 people to book this year to any of their three stallions for $350!!! I can't believe it, and am kinda considering buying one and using in 2011 (since I believe it's good for 3 years).

My current colt is a Mannhattan baby and he's just awesome, and I know Mannhattan had several site champions at inspections across the country for Old NA this year, which is awesome - he makes great babies.

And like I said I want to breed my mare to Edelweiss duBonce next because I think he's just stunning, and since he does dressage, and has jumper bloodlines, either way I think the baby will be a winner!

We have an LA Express baby here (she's actually 7 now) and just a jaw-dropping mover. Unreal! I don't have a mare right now that would cross well to him though - and I only need so many babies!!!!

But I am also offering my mare for broodmare lease if anyone is interested. She's a well bred TB with War Deputy/Deputy Minister on top and Ebony Sky (dam) by Crimson Satan on the bottom. She scored a 101 at the inspection, and almost made premium, with great scores for movement and topline and hind quarters which the judge really liked. I'd offer a discount to anyone breeding her to an Avalon stallion since I really like them and would love to have a sneak preview of what an Edelweiss baby would be like before I breed one for myself haha!

Any other breeding specials out there yet? Let's use this thread to share info!!!!

We'll have a foal (hopefully) in 2010....around July. The last foal out of these two horses didn't make it....he was born crowned. Fingers crossed that this one will be healthy!

oooh good luck! who are the parents? i hope the baby is healthy!

and i'm sorry what does born crowned mean? i don't think i've heard that term before?

I am introducing my colt, Risky In Gray, in 2010. He will be a 3 yr old.
He is an absolute doll!! I have him started under saddle and will be putting handle on him all through next year and will futurity barrels with him either as a 4 yr old or 5 yr old. We will also be doing showmanship, trail , and western riding at AQHA shows and some good old fashion trail riding.

Fee is $600 for LFG, first A.I. or shipped semen (mare care additional), IF eligible. If book before January, I will discount $50. Purchase now and the price is good for 3 yrs. Which will be a heck of a deal and as we are on the Future Fortunes waiting list and we could be up by then.

He will be at least 16 hands (I am betting on a solid 16.1)

Lots of miniatures are born with genoformities because they've been bred down so small. Crowned is just another genoformity where the foal is born with water on his/her brain. The parents.....

I can not remember the last time I paid a full priced stud fee. I always get good discounts to just about any stallion I like.
