Sis and Bonnie
My husband bought a broodmare before he was old enough to drive and raised 4 colts from her. Sis was a granddaughter of Society Rex. We have some slide photographs of her which are much more flattering, but I don't know how to convert them to digital media.

Bonnie all grown up and showing in Minnesota when owned by Paul Priebe.

Another of Sis' colts
A friend shared this photo of my mare as a foal in 1972.
I bought her as a 3 year old. The broodmare was a daughter of Anacacho Shamrock.
Ten years later my mare had her first colt.
Mare (yes, that was her nickname) and Reggie.
Mare wasn't the only one who had a baby in 1982.
We were due a week apart and she went first.
Another picture of Mare, Reggie and me 9 months pregnant.
My friend Laurie came to see the new colt and brought her
daughter Lisa to see the colt. Charlie's giving Lisa a close up view.
Buddy, best saddlebred ever.
Laurie took Lisa for her first ride on a Saddlebred.
Well, he technically doesn't belong on this post since he's not a mare or foal.
He really was the best.
Fast forward a couple of decades to the next broodmare.
This is Loretta a month before she foaled in 2007.

More Loretta
Loretta ready to explode!
Loretta and Maybe
Maybe as a yearling in 2011.
Thanks for indulging my whim. Next week it's back to blog business and Mr. Magic Man!
And as always, visit The American Saddlebred Blog's Face book page and like it!
Later in 2015, another broodmare came into my life. Here she is with
some of her babies and even a grandbaby, although I was never lucky enough to raise one out of her.
