Caballos Del Mar

Normally I wait until after the first of the year to list those horses that are being pensioned and the sons and daughters that are taking their places. The older horses are still available for breeding requests for their open years - just look for them in the "Older Stallions" or "Older Mares" list following the main breed section.

I've had a little extra time this month, so I got an early start on it. Maybe we should do something special for the last two weeks of the year? How about - pre-retirement breedings are half price until 2016! ;-)

New Year is always a time for changes - old to new. Here are this year's Retirement Day announcements, wherein we pension some horses from the list, promoting their sons or daughters in their places. The older horses are still available for breeding requests for their open years - just look for them in the "Older Stallions" or "Older Mares" list following the main breed section.

First, we announce the pensioning of our outstanding Arabian mare, Rafia+++. She is the Monrovia Large Zara in white grey and one of our top showers and producers. Her book is FULL - twenty foals produced! - with no open years available. Thank you to all who used her as dam for their foals. She will be replaced on our list by her daughter, Realista, sired by the wonderful *Bask son, Genuine+/.
