Maggie foals Darkmoor Phoenix

We are absolutely over the moon to be able to welcome Darkmoor Phoenix into the world. Phoenix is by Darkmoor da Vinci, out of Maggie. For those of you who don’t recall, Maggie underwent major surgery in January of this year and she was not expected to hold her pregnancy through the stress of the anaesthetic, surgery and recovery. Much to our delight, she remained in foal and has delivered us this very special baby. Bay with four white socks and a beautiful temperament, Phoenix is a very flashy foal and we look forward to watching him grow.

Felicity foals Darkmoor Rembrandt

Felicity foaled another lovely black colt by Darkmoor da Vinci on 11th September. He’s a huge foal and Felicity had some trouble getting him out, but we gave her a bit of help and both mare and foal are doing very well. We’ve named him Darkmoor Rembrandt. He’s a very leggy colt so should make a great riding or harness horse. Being black and with all that bling, he’s bound to stand out wherever he goes. We know of no other Shire like him in Australia. Remy absolutely loves people and is a visitor favourite already.

Emily foals Darkmoor Elizabeth

Emily foaled us another absolutely beautiful black filly to Wyee Archer on 5th September. We’ve named her Darkmoor Elizabeth after a close friend who was delighted to experience her first foaling with Emily & Elizabeth. Elizabeth is big, sweet and playful just like her sister Jazz. Emily is a great mum and we’re thrilled she’s given us a full sister to Darkmoor Jazz, who has enjoyed quite a bit of show success already.
