Great News - Donna Novella in foal!

[honeylips]

Edgar just sent me the news that he did get Donna in foal to Rubignon. Very excited to see this little black baby next year!

Congrats! How exciting, should be a very nice foal.

Is the foal yours? Are you planning on keeping it?

[Horsejudge]

And why would it be black?

Don't bet on it!

Congratulations!

Congratulations Melissa… this is great news. She is such a lovely mare, the foal will be spectacular. :)

Congratulations Melissa!!! I'm sure that will be a winning combination!!
Ms. Dallara is in foal to Rousseau for 2010. I can't wait... She's still the light of my life :)

Weird, I was just thinking about her the other day. I remember when you bought her, she's stuck in my mind all this time because she's so beautiful. Sad to hear she's retired now, but it's cool she's going to be a mom :cool:. Congratulations!

Yeah - looking at their pedigrees, you've got a 25% chance of a chestnut baby in that mix ;) Congrats either way! Here's to a filly for you :D

the pedigree on Donna on allbreeds isn't 100% correct on the tail damline. She is black and carries chestnut, but Rubignon doesn't appear to carry chestnut that I can see? So i think the odds are in the favor of black or black bay for this baby. But who knows.
But it should be a great one - 2 Internationally competed FEI horses bred! How often do you see that!

But - alas for me - the new one will belong to Edgar - so all best wishes should go to him!

Of course now that i know she isn't super hard to get in foal I am already thinking about 2010 as I get my turn that year..... Florianus is a leading contender for sure in my mind.

Liza- I was just talking to someone about Dallara today:-) We have a lovely DaCaprio/Ravallo mare at our barn. Very much like Dallara- just taller! Be sure to give Ms Diva a cookie from her first mom!
