Yearling Fillies

Early September brings cool weather to our area. This morning the yearling filly paddock was awake and ready to go BEFORE breakfast. These fillies are not bound for any sale however they will all travel to their respective trainers within the next few months. They have been raised together and we are very anxious to see how they will perform. The fillies include a Thoroughbred by Cape Town from the $100,000 winning Brodniki owned by Dr. Lynette Greenwood, DVM of Batavia, Illinois, a Standardbred pacing filly by American Ideal out of the very fast Darriwillian Girl owned by The Nia Lee Stables of Ballston Spa, New York and  a Standardbred Pacing filly by the Canadian Sire Island Fantasy out of the incredible producer Brunette Bay. This filly is owned by Robert McCurdy and Jeff Rader of Columbus, Ohio. Last but not least is the beautiful and stylish American Quarter Horse Buckskin filly, sired by the beautiful Haverty Ranch stallion Whowhizit. This filly is owned by Mike McCarty of Zanesville, Ohio Hope to see you all in the Winners Circle.

Sale Time

Yearlings are in and ready for your inspection. We tend to think of this time of year as “Boot Camp”. Yearlings at Autumn Lane are “field raised” in groups according to foaling date and sex. Every group consists of 4-6 yearlings that have a private field and are shed raised. We do not believe that a performance horse is best raised in a “hothouse” environment. Kept on a routine deworming, vaccination and farrier schedule each group thrives. At sale time, each sale horse is brought in daily, groomed and handled. Manners are polished as well as the hair coat. Sale time always bring mixed feelings for our family. It often seems that we are sending our youngsters off to college. We take pride in our old fashioned ways when it comes to raising performance horses.
