We were excited to try the cross that produced this beautiful black filly!  Heartstrings is one of the exotic debut Invictus get and out of a maiden Stage Rage daughter we have.  Heartstrings stands out in the field with her swan like neck and gorgeous head.  We are eager to see her grow up!

Since she is the full sister to world champion Dragonsmeade Skyfall and his full brother Dragonsmeade Well Suited we anxiously waited for Sweet Emotion to foal in 2023.  Stevie beautifully represents all of the beloved horses in her pedigree.  At this point, she has the essence of Icon with a bit of Axios mixed in.  When one sees her one would think she is the full sister to Invictus.  We can’t wait to see what she will do when she goes to training.  Until then, Stevie will enjoy playing in the fields of our farm.

To say we are happy to have another filly out of Sweet Emotion would be an understatement.  Sayuri is a dream cross with our multi-world champion stallion Dragonsmeade Griffin and one of our beloved foundation mares.  We are eager to see her in the show ring, but until then, she will be growing up on our farm with her sisters.

We are thrilled with Hereafter’s first foal by Cydon’s Mr. Aristocrat!  O’Malley is a sport with beautiful Morgan type.  Typical of her sire, Dragonsmeade Axios, she has a beautiful shoulder and hinge to her long neck.  It was always fun to show this game multiple world champion classic mare, but what Hereafter lacks is motion.  Cydon’s Mr. Aristocrat was one of the most talented stallions so we decided to make the cross.  O’Malley surpassed our expectations!

Similar to her full sister Dragonsmeade Celestial, Shayla, has quality and presence.  Her shoulder, neck, and pole are typical of Axios offspring, and her dam’s beauty is seen throughout her confirmation.  We are thrilled with this cross, and we will repeat it in the future.  Until then, Shayla will grow up with the rest of our foals in our fields.

Succession is a refined and dynamic colt!  Since 2024 was the first year for Invictus’ foal crop we were eager to see how he stamped his get.  Similar to his bay half brother, Dragonsmeade Valdisere, is stamped with quality and stretch.  We are eager to see how these boys grow up!

Since 2023 was the first year we bred Dragonsmeade Invictus we carefully selected well bred mares.  Thankfully, 2023 was also the first year we set up a lease deal with our friends at Kohler Stables.  His confirmation is correct, he is smooth bodied, and he is beautiful.
