Our second foal of the year arrived at 6:00 pm on May 20th.
Meet Jamaican Blue, aka “Java”, named for one of our favourite premium coffees! She is by the young jumping stallion, Copernicus WF (Clinton I/Federalist), and is out of our first homebred, Vanity Fair (aka “Havana”), making Java a second generation homebred for us. She will be registered Canadian Warmblood.
Java is tall and has very long legs – her long legs and compact little body made it a struggle for her to get up easily for the first 24 hours, but she was quickly romping around and demonstrating her sire’s fabulous canter. Java is one of the most sweet, personable foals we have had, who nickers to you when you go out to her in the paddock. We are very pleased Havana gave us a filly (in addition to her 2023 filly, Capablanca RGS, owned by Havana’s owner, Avery Brennan) so that we can retain her for the future of our breeding program!
