Reflecting on eight years as a breeder

Reflecting on eight years as a breeder

Today marks exactly 8 years since my very first foal was born in Quarryfield. I can still remember the excitement, and good fortune, of being able to watch from the gate as Knightfield Mena give birth to healthy colt foal (pictured) by the previous year's World Cup winner, Flexible. I was 'as green as grass', had bought Mena with a loan that spring and did not have any existing customer base.
