SHERWOOD, OR - We would like to proudly introduce Jayden (meaning, God has heard) by Gatsby out of Lori's beloved personal mare, Scooter xx. Jayden is a TRUE BLACK - Our first ever! He has three white markings and a perfect star. Jayden was born at 7:38 PM on Wednesday, May 6, 2009. He is the only Foxdale foal due this season. We are thrilled, and after the loss of our only foal last season, also out of Scooter, this is an exceptionally joyous occasion and we praise the Lord for a safe delivery and a healthy foal.
Jayden was born with a lovely uphill build, a very nice neck, and he will be stunningly beautiful like his sire. On the night of his birth he is showing the characteristic Gatsby disposition - friendly, smart, sweet, and sensitive. He was up quickly, nursed well and was standing strong on his long legs!
We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Dan & Gina Rudiger (owners of Sonnenberg Farm http://www.sonnenberg.us/), Glenda Reeves (Barn Manager), her daughter Loren (who helped us with his name), and Jack Root, DVM, who bred Scooter, and who is a great Vet and a wonderful man!
