In 2009 we foaled a purebred connemara filly and a half-bred connemara filly. Both fillies are lovely and
doing very well.
Black Dog's Top of the Morning is out of Black Dog's Fiorella (Trak) by WH Top Gun (Con). Mia is closely related
to Fiona (bottom of page). Mia is a dun who should finish around 15.2. We may retain Mia for Beth's future
show mount, but currently she is for sale ($3,500).
Black Dog's Annie Get Your Gun is out of Loughin's Leighseach by WH Top Gun and a bay purebred. She has a lovely
star and small white's and is quite the independent thing! Annie will be available for sale. She would be quite
an addition to any purebred breeding program as her pedigree is quite nice. Lucy (dam) is very athletic and Top Gun
is a wonderful athlete as well as adding a bit of height to Annie. Annie should finish 14-14.1. Annie is available
for $4,000.

Our first purebred Connemara born at Black Dog Farm is a BOY! We welcomed Black Dog's River Ghost, a colt out of
Swift Ocoee River and by Seven Hill's Grey Ghost on January 27, 2007. Toby was born bay, going grey. He is
now gelded and is USEF lifetime registered and ACPS registered. Toby is leading quietly in a bridle and will
soon progress to full tack and then backing. He has a lovely trot and canter, along with showing wonderful form
over fences. Video available. He is offered pre-backing for $3,500. Currently 14.0 1/2, finish 14.2.

The next three fillies are out of Lexy. What a wonderful broodmare this TB turned out to be.
Pictured first is Black Dog's Flute, 2006 filly. She is currently going w/t/c, has jumped some crossrails.
Free jumps gorgeous! Price will increase with training. $8,500.

Black Dog's Flute is by the Trakehner stallion Feuertanzer. She is 15.3 at 3.5 years of age, her full sister is
16.2 at 4.5 years. Flute has shown once in hunter breeding yearlings (finished 3rd of 5 at a rated show) and Intro
Dressage (58% and 63.5%). She should finish 16.1-16.2 and has an outstanding temperment, with a balanced canter, steady
trot and excellent form through a jumping chute. She has shown a great mind when working under saddle and a wonderful
work ethic. She is currently learning to jump and video is available.

Black Dog's Smokin' Kate (now Fiona) is excelling at eventing. Even though I showed her in
hunter breeding (she finished Zone 4 in 6th Place for 2006 in Two Year Olds!)
Fiona is qualified for 2009 NAEC at Beginner Novice Eventing with Carol Greene (her new owner in TX)!

Black Dog's Fiorella (AKA Ella) was born on May 9th, 2005. She is a lovely bay with a pretty blaze.
She is quite correct and a people filly. She is by the Trakehner stallion, Feuertanzer.
Ella was bred for athleticism and she definitely has it! She will not be a super heavy WB type, but also not as
light as a TB. Her mother is a very well-built TB and Ella is built uphill, with a lovely neck set and pretty gaits.
She is 16.2 at 4.5 years. Ella has scored as high as 77.6% in Dressage Sport Horse classes! Ella also finished
2006 in 5th place for Hunter Breeding Yearlings for Zone 4.
Ella will be staying at Black Dog Farm, to be bred for Connemara crosses. She suffered a hind leg pasture injury
at 2 and was never started under saddle.
