Our 2 sweet Clyde mares are a little jealous that the baby is getting all of the love today. We are expecting a foal out of Britt (mare on the right) within the next few days. We are excited to meet another F2 foal from SNG Baxtalo Romeo!! Pacific's Alice should foal at the beginning of June for our first Drum baby produced by the handsome Gypsy stallion Mac Guinness <3

Black Orchid would like to welcome into the world our first Drum filly of 2017. This cutie is Sired by SNG Baxtalo Romeo and out of Lily of the Valley. This F2 filly is a beautiful start to our foaling season.

Good for reference on the Drum percentages. "Hello Fellow Drum Enthusiast! We had an overwhelming response to vote in favor of expanding the F3 percentages. The Horse designations are as follows: Foundation Horse: A purebred (registered) Clydesdale, Shire or Gypsy Horse, A cross of a (registered) Clydesdale and (registered) Shire. Foundation Drum: A horse that contains Clydesdale and/or Shire and MUST be more than 50% Gypsy. F1 Drum Horse: A horse that is Clydesdale and/or Shire and exactly 50% Gypsy. F2 Drum Horse: A horse that is Clydesdale and/or Shire and 49% to 25% Gypsy. F3 Drum Horse: THE ONLY CHANGE – A horse that is Clydesdale and/or Shire and 24% to 6.25% Gypsy. Another important designation is Premium Drum. This horse can come from F1, F2, or F3. It is a horse that by his/her 5th birthday is 16hh or greater. If you have any further questions concerning where your horse falls, please reach out to our registrar, Rebecca@ IDHAregistrar@yahoo.com We hope this helps with a better understanding of where each of your horses stand. It will also help with your breeding decisions in the years to come, ever moving the Drum Horse forward from a type to a breed. Happy Drumming, Your IDHA BOD"

Poor Lily of the Valley is ready to have this baby. 4 weeks to go and she is loving the belly rubs...so much so that she sounded like a leaky balloon! This will be an amazing F2 foal out of SNG Baxtalo Romeo.
