Mission accomplished!!

It is stallion service auction time again, and there is not much more I like that a good auction, with stuff I want. Today, I was focused in pretty good on a few horses I want, and had submitted bids in advance. Everything went wrong, including the mailed package not arriving on time--to sending Barry to town to send a fax last nite since my fax was not sending for some reason--to learning that they did not receive that either!

I got it lined out by phone this morning, and have spent the afternoon taking calls from bidspotters--I was rolling good on the one I wanted most, but it was pretty heated and the bids were getting sky high, when the bid spotters phone crapped out on me. I have no idea what happened there, but I am going to assume I got beat.

But then I got my #2 choice--Pepto Taz! And really, he is probably better for our program than the one I was after, since that one repeats a lot of the same blood we have here.

Anyway, I borrowed these pics from his real webiste www.peptotaz.com
Isnt he a handsome man? Looks just I like them to look, and the proof is in the pudding as far as his show career. He is young enough to just now be getting them to the show ring, but I have been eyeballing him for a while now.
His pedigree is impeccable as well. I currently have not a Pepto one, so this will be exciting for me--we have one coming this spring, and then this boy in the lineup.

I am so excited. He stands at Watkins Equine, who we dealt with on Boonsmal Cee Lena last year--they send us super hero sperm, which is what Dr M called them. They got the job done and we are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of that baby. It is a good feeling to know that the stallion station you are dealing with is a good one, and based on that experience, I know that they are.

I am really starting to look forward to breeding season--now come the tough decisions. Who to breed to who?
