Birthday Celebration for our Foals
Sunday, July 11, 2010
4:00pm - 7:00pm

Meet the Foals, $1 Pony Rides, Free BBQ and Dish to Pass

We have some baby foals that we would love your help in celebrating! On July 11 we will be throwing a big celebration and would like you to join us!

Our first baby of the year was Pixie, born to Scotch on May 29th. Pixie is a beautiful palomino dun. She has already been sold to Katie Steigerwalt.

Our second baby was Cupid, born to Maxie on June 6. He is a spunky and gorgeous little palomino medicine cap and is offered for sale!

We are still waiting on one more! Dutchess is due to give birth any day now. Be sure to check out our news section of our website for updates!

At the party everyone will get to meet the new additions. We will also be offering $1 pony rides on Beauregard, Elmer Fudd and Pepsi for anyone (child or child-at-heart) and a free BBQ and dish to pass dinner snack.
