May 4, 2008 - Happy Birthday Baby Filly! Quite a bit of planning went into bringing another wonderful Cleveland Bay into the world. The sire of this filly is the pure bred Cleveland Bay Stainmore Wolfhound of Ridgemore Farm (http://www.ridgemore.net) and the dam is our Cleveland Bay Sporthorse Imaten (Emma). The baby was conceived by artificial insemination and then the embryo was transferred into a surrogate mare (the paint horse Flashy in these photos). We knew Flashy was close but we thought we had a few more days. We happened upon our new little bundle of joy when feeding our horses this Sunday morning. Both Flashy and filly are doing just fine. Although we humans missed the actual birth you can see from the photos we weren’t that far behind the big event. We're working on a name for our baby and I'm sure Michelle will entertain suggestions. Speaking of suggestions, I have one... Hit the Slideshow button at the upper right corner of this page, sit back, and enjoy photos of the world’s newest Cleveland Bay sport horse.
