Congratulations me!
I finally got my CoStar filly, well... sort of!
Meet our newest "Foothills" Connemara filly.
She was born last night at Julie Keahey's, by Ceili Cosmosi (Ceili Mosi oa Tunya x Corner Oak Celtic Star) out of Oakfield's Paisley.
Thanks for everything, Julie!

Tullymor’s Gracie Gray spent last weekend at college!
Hollins College. She competed in a hunter show ridden by Juliana Guggino.
They were the only pony and came in 4th out of 23! Congrats to Juliana and Gracie!

Gracie is full sister to Tullymor's Mountain Steel
We bought Sutton Spring (Conne-TB by *Gun Smoke) from Bette Fredrickson in New Hampshire when Spring was only 12 weeks old. Spring is now 18 years old and has been an absolutely amazing horse for us. She’s beautiful, smart, and very sensible. Kerry has shown her in dressage and eventing and done a lot of trail riding with her. Lisa Page Jan-24
All Cats are Gray is back home!
Cat (Balmullo's Beacon x Foothills Kelligan) is back in Tennessee after a 2 year companion lease. Tara Gable, Arrowhead Farm, is restarting her for me, and things are going very well.

Piedmont Harmony
Piedmont Harmony (Grits) was in her first ever hunter over fences classes today. I never showed her, just hunter paces and Extreme Coyboy races. She packed a 13 year old girl around the courses in perfect form. 15-20 horses in each class. I'm so proud of her. Kim Chapman Leitch Nov 2023

Steel and Lucy have gone north for a while
Kathy Trum-Searah has leased our stallion, Tullymor's Mountain Steel, and our young mare, Duet Farms I Love Lucy, for a while, to expand her Connemara breeding program. Congratulations to Kathy!
CoStar is in foal to Cooper!
Our wonderful, do-it-all mare, Corner Oak Celtic Star, is in foal to the highly successful performance stallion, Coud Poker Tartifume. She is due in May. Watch this board for news on what we get (hint: it will be a talented bay!)
<<CoStar
Cooper>>
Anya (Duet Farms First Love) will be spending some time in Wisconsin to breed to one of her stallions at Dayton Ridge Farm. I look forward to seeing which she chooses, either will surely be a winner!

Paisley is in Florida
Oakfield's Paisley is in Florida with Julie Keahey and it sounds like they are having a great time together. Her stallion, Ceili Cosmosi (Ceili Mosi Oa Tunya x Corner Oak Celtic Star) happily received her into his band and Paisley is now due to deliver a foal by him early next spring!
