Sorry about lack of blogs last week or so. Just a reflection of busyness at my day job (it earns the money) and that I have been writing an article for the next NZ Standardbred Breeding Assn magazine Breeding Matters on the “down under” connections with the family of the great producing mare Shy Ann. Will post that up on my articles tab (top of my blog home page) when it is published.
And of course as Isa Lodge we are right in the middle of prep for the yearling sales. Two lovely colts – a trotter (Lot 19 Karaka) and a pacer (Lot 39 Karaka), who reside just outside my bedroom window. I don’t do the hands-on work, that’s the expertise of Kym Kearns that adds so much value to getting a really good foundation for racehorses. But it is still a busy time for support crew – and keeping an eye on the mares who are positive in foal now. “Those also serve who stand and feed.” lol
I have a couple of blogs coming up shortly on the yearling sales – looking at the representations of sires (a topic I come back to again and again), profiling some lots from new sires and some interesting breeding choices, so hopefully I will be delivering on that over the next couple of weeks.
Keeping checking in, your feedback and discussion is always welcome.
In the meantime, try looking back at some of the past blogs you may have missed like the ones I have done about influential broodmare sires who punch above their weight like
Or go to the Articles tab at the top of my blog page and lets look at how the hugely improved range of NZ sires might go over the next sales and racing season.
