Windy turned out to be a real prize broodmare. One of our other mares died just three weeks after giving birth. As we tried several of our seasoned mares to see if any would allow the filly to nurse, Windy kept persistently getting in the way. We never even considered trying her since she was a first-time mother, but eventually she annoyed us just enough that we decided to try it. It was successful from the start and Windy kept looking at us as if to say "I told you!".

Windy and her twins did just fine this summer. Branden (her foal by David) is a beautiful bay colt. He has presence and plays well with others (after he got over being jealous). Mezza (her adopted daughter) has developed into a well-muscled filly that should be an excellent performance horse. Windy brings a strong foundation pedigree to the program including Joker B. and Chico's snowcap. Windy is is bred to Mandan for 2005.
