News From Autumn Hill FarmAll the doses of frozen that were on sale at Hagyard have been sold! Looking forward to more Fielding foals in 2013. Full price doses ($250 per dose) are still available from Select Breeders. There are only 15 doses left for this lovely former stallion.

I am thrilled to report that homebred Fontyn (Fred Astair/Maurice/Wenzel I) was named Champion Hanoverian Mare at the Hilton Farm’s AHS inspection in Orange, VA on August 15th. “Margo” achieved a VERY gratifying 7.83 studbook inspection score.

Born at the civilized hour on 11pm on July 13th, mother and daughter are doing well. Malena did a great job with this foal – “Francheska” is well-made and undeniably feminine. I could not be happier! (Francheska’s page now has video!)
In a push to get more foals on the ground, and to clean out frozen inventory at the Hagyard Equine Medical storage location in Kentucky, I am offering full breeding doses of Fielding semen for $100 per breeding dose, plus shipping.

Fielding arrived in Wellington with trainer Kim Zindel-Buzby in late December. No Florida grass would grown under their feet – as Fielding, Kim and wonderful owner Lindsay Rentz entered WEF I and II with good results. Owner Lindsay is holding her own against the pro’s in the Second Year Greens. Fielding and Lindsay have ribboned [...]
