I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun on a hunt in my entire life. This was Mama’s (Carolina Moon) first hunt and she was amazing. We rode in 2nd flight. We galloped, crossed swelled creeks, dodged hounds and jumped logs. Sadly this was the last hunt with Airy Hall as a fixture but I am so grateful to have done it up with my heart horse, memories I will cherish forever!
Here we are enjoying a little hack around the grounds at Rose Hill after an exciting day with Pegasus Riding Academy participating as a charity beneficiary for the 2021 Polo for Heroes event. DMTS’s three Marsh Tacky mares Mama, Carolina and Roxie all participated in the Parade of Breeds during the opening ceremonies, then they shined in Pegasus’ Special Olympics riding drill demonstration, lastly no one came unglued when the skydiver carrying our colors landed in the polo field from just overhead! Great day!
It’s a filly! She was born on St. Patrick’s Day evening. We were present for almost the entire labor and birth. What a miraculous experience. The third foal to be born on Daufuskie in around 50 years, this is the first time we have witnessed the birth. We were able to imprint this new life in that precious window of time when she will associate us as her family. We had our hands on her at her first breath, helped her get her spindly legs under her and start nursing. Flaca (Carolina Moon x DP) and Clover (sired by Lowther’s Lucero) are bonded, healthy and happy, she is a spitting image of her Daddy! This is the first foal to be born on our new location at Heritage Hall.
Farewell to our very first foal, Estelita Scurry as she embarks upon a new chapter her journey today. She, along with Southern Legends Tuff, are leaving the island to their new forever homes so we are feeling proud and hopeful for them. Estelita will be living near Clemson, SC and Southern Legend will be living in middle GA. Thanks Hawkins Heritage Farm for your help with hauling and match making. We are looking forward to following these two as they grow with their new owners.
We had no reservations kissing 2020 goodbye and saying hello with open arms to the new year, our new location and our new adventures. Wishing everyone else a Happy New Year in 2021!
