| Baxter's Faberge Sire: Fechtor (Imp) Dam: Northern Waltzer Height: 16hh Folly, as she is known at home, is a lovely looking mare and has a beautiful nature. She is a natural mum as she proved to us by adopting a young TB foal we got to hand raise when she was just a week old - CM Daddys Little Secret. Folly took to this foal as if it were her own, and had come back into milk for her. Her stunning looks and her bloodlines were what we were after for our breeding program, and we are thrilled with what she has produced for us so far! |
| Folly is by Fechtor, a full brother to Diamond B Sky High, who is perhaps best known as Chris Chuggs famous showjumper. Incidently, one of our other horses, CM Burnt In Gold, is out of Wilvil Spellbound, who is by Sky High, making him Follys cousin. Folly is extremely protective over 'her' foals, she is an amazing mother. Due to an injury to her offside knee as a youngster, she never had a ridden career before becoming a broodmare. The knee doesnt affect her in the paddock at all and she passes on beautiful movement to her foals. Follys Offspring... Folly had a number of foals prior to coming to live with us. Two of her sons are now sires standing in the eastern states - Mein Klute (also known as Granite Park Mein Klute at times) by Mosel Klute, and Winter Wizard (also known as Jirrima Winter Wizard). Both are lovely boys and a good example of what she can produce. She is also the dam of "Spring Fling" owned and bred by Yatama Stud in NSW - a lovely chestnut mare. She is pictured at left with the filly she 'adopted' in 2003. CM Daddys Little Secret. |
| In 2004 we bred her to the gorgeous Allen Park Bald Eagle and received a gorgeous Chestnut and White Pinto filly, CM Anna Karenina, on the 9th of February 2005. Anna was sold before she was 24 hours old to a fantastic home in Victoria who are hoping to use her for eventing in the future. Anna has been broken in and is having a rest until she has grown up a bit more - she was just too much of a busy body and had to be into everything to remain unbroken. She needed something to stimulate her brain! You can see her growing nicely on our page - Updates of Stock Bred and Sold - and see some of her owners comments about her. She is rather pleased with how shes coming along! On the 23rd October 2006, Folly had a lovely colt CM StaaStruck by CM Danzaponastaa, our TB stallion, he has been sold to a showjumping home in WA and travelled over there a little while after weaning. He didnt have the best trip over there unfortunately but has bounced back and is growing nicely by all accounts. Tadpole, as he was named for a paddock name, is pictured at right. Typical of Follys foals, he is quite fine and will chunk up later - usually 12 - 18 months old before they start filling out and getting chunky! We bred Folly back to Allen Park Bald Eagle for what we hoped would be a repeat of the last mating with him. We were not dissapointed when on the 8th November 2007 she produced a beautiful chestnut and white colt who we were stuck for a name for - we know why now!! At a couple of hours old we sent through some photos of him during his birth to a lovely family who had expressed an interest in seeing the foal as soon as it was born, and we got an email back with "YES YES YES" and saying they would be over on Tuesday to view him in person! Well, needless to say, he is going to an eventing home in Pt Augusta, South Australia. Amelia named him - CM Gryphon's Flight - Gryph or Gryphon for a paddock name. It really suits him! Gryph is of course pictured here at right... He is a lovely boy and we really could not have ordered better! He is a very flashy little man and will turn heads when hes fully grown and out there competing with Amelia on board! Follys 2009 Foal, CM Windjammer, is by CM Oberon Toblerone. He has been sold to Anne Davison of Port Lincoln who plans to use him for Dressage down the track and showing. Folly is has been served by CM Bedford Forrest for a 2010 (born in 2011) season foal, who has already been sold to Killarnie Stud in NSW. |
