A Chestnut Warlander Enters the World!

Well, it's been a long year and I've been waiting to post this---our Warlander filly, by my Andalusian stallion, out of my friesian mare was born on Tues morning. Her sire's name was Masetto, so we named her Mas Tequila, and call her Tiki for short. She's a chestnut with her sire's exact markings--1 white sock, some white hairs in a crescent on her forehead, a dorsal stripe and looks like she'll probably have his wither and leg barring. We're very excited--she's the sweetest filly, loves people, and is a joy to be around (for now.....she IS a redhead so this may change LOL)


This is her sire, Masetto. He was bred by Sarah Hollis of Tintagel Andalusians. He sadly passed away in December of 2009, shortly after he was bred to Mona Lisa, our friesian mare, and Ariana RL, our andalusian mare. Ariana lost the foal in March 2010, so the result of the breeding from Mona and Masetto (nicknamed "Eddie") will be the only progeny ever produced from this special stallion. We have since sold Mona to our friend Anne-Marie, who is very much her soulmate. Mona and Tiki are boarded with us until it's time to wean in December. The fun of a late bred mare!
