It’s a filly and she is black!!!!! Firstly a big thank you to Kurt Enzinger and his team at Elite Equine in helping with the creation of this beautiful filly. Dreamtime was the teams’ first embryo transfer and proved to be very successful.
This foal “oozes” quality and elegance that I could only have dreamt.
“Dreamtime” is a leggy, attractive, very good moving and modern foal. She has beautiful suspension, super knee and hock action. Her friendly personality has captured our family’s heart and we look forward to watching her grow and develop into a beautiful horse.
With such fabulous bloodlines for breeding and riding this filly will be retained.
At the AWHA 2014 Assessment Tour with Joanne Verikios and Lynne Crowden she was awarded an overall percentage % of 85.357 (including a 9.125% for trot and 9.25 for canter!).
