Usually, as you'll have probably noticed by now, a new horse gets tacked onto the list at the bottom of the page whenever I need cheering up. Today, it's to celebrate finishing another book - all the proofing has been completed and an index compiled, so the project has been put to bed as far as I'm concerned.

We'll go into the bloodlines in detail another day, suffice to say that the sire is Taiki Shuttle (the perfect example of what you get by mixing Hail To Reason and Nijinsky blood), while the damsire is Special Week, which gives us another pair of Hail To Reason and Nijinsky lines. Indeed, the colt is officially a Halo cross (3Sx4D), while Danehill and Blushing Groom feature on the female side of the family tree. For me, this is like a member of royalty!
Bloodlines apart, this is also one of the most beautiful horses I've ever seen - he'll certainly turn heads in the paddock next year, that much is for sure...
