Stud members changes!

I did say never say never - well first I will now be keeping this
year's foal by Leo out of the borrowed Broughton Saffron, making
three due by him. Second - I have given in to temptation and am very pleased to have
acquired I think the only D mare that would have tempted me - Paith
Magical Coriander, foundation mare of the Saith Stud. Sadly they
have had to sell all their stock and I have always coveted Coriander,
who has bred them a string of top class offspring following a super
career in hand as a youngster. I greatly admired her sire,
Gwrthafarn Commander, when I saw him being hacked out while he was
at the Rotherdale stud, and love his breeding. Leo will cover her
here this season. Their offspring will combine all the bloodlines I
look for in a ridden for I think the first time!

I have done something else I thought I'd never do - lent my precious
Angie out to a ridden home. I have her daughter F. Dancing Queen by
Llanina Maredded, now a 2yo, and as I can no longer ride she had no
job here. I wasn't looking to loan her but the most perfect home
came up so I plucked up my courage and let her go, never to be sold
though.

Floreat Quintessa is with Katherine McGrail again being ridden and has
qualified already this year for Equifest and the Balanced Horse Feeds
Final as a FR.
