The third (and final) addition to the Red Gate lineup for 2025 was a tall, leggy Hanoverian colt by Wynton out of Boheme (Bugatti Hilltop/Feiner Stern) born at 9:30 pm on May 28th. Our mares have been very considerate with their delivery times this year!

Wildfyre RGS, aka “Wylder”, is the third full sibling we have had from this Wynton/Boheme (aka “Bijou”) cross (in addition to Whrapsody RGS aka “Tosca” in 2020, and Wordsmyth RGS aka “Webster” in 2023). We were hoping for a keeper filly, but this little guy is pretty nice even if he does have the wrong plumbing!

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!

Baby Jasmine was born on May 8, 2025 – the first of three expected foals this year. Jasmine is by Dubarry (Don Frederico/Rubinstein), out of Shephora (aka “Flora” – Shakespeare RSF/Gold Luck/Donnerhall).

She is an elegant, feminine filly with very long legs. She is quite a friendly character and has an energetic, curious personality already at only a few days old.

She will likely be registered Hanoverian
