Just 5 Minutes Apart

Saturday afternoon we were watching the Belmont Stakes on television and just about the time all the excitement at Belmont Park was dying down the excitement in our pasture was just beginning. Tucker Creek's Cheyenne was in mid-delivery with two legs and a head hanging out. We raced down to the pasture and identified that all was going smoothly when we realized that Cheyenne was not the only mom ready to bring a new cria into the world--IAOC Iomi was just a few minutes behind Cheyenne--but she had only one leg and a head showing. With just a quick search for the other leg all was in perfect position for the next arrival.

So at 4:00 Cheyenne presented us with a beautiful white female cria we named Tucker Creek's Bella (in honor of the Belmont). She weighed in at 19.0 pounds and is busy healthy girl.

At 4:05 Iomi presented us with a handsome medium fawn male cria we named Tucker Creek's Belmont Runner (in honor of the Belmont and, yes, because he is quite the runner). He weighed in at 15.2 pounds and is still running.

Both of these gorgeous cria were sired by our handsome Studmaster™ EC Sun Tzu.

Bella and Cheyenne are our featured package for the combined price of $16,750. First and second generation Studmaster™ females including a breeding for each of them.

Three more ladies are due any time--two of them are ours--Queen Amidala, AOO and River Rock's Tiffany, the third belongs to one of our clients. Will keep you posted as they arrive.
