Meet the Mares
SD SPICE OF LIFE
Imported when she was three from the world famous SD Farms, Spice made her way to Finch Farms in March of 2023. This bay blagdon mare has a refined, elegant head and hair and feather to spare. Her athletic build made her the perfect match for our resident 4-star stallion Monashee Toy Story. Spice and Buzz are expecting in July of 2024 and we are keeping our fingers crossed for a keeper filly.
SD FORTUNE TELLER
Fortune was purchased as a two-year old from River Lane Ranch who had imported Fortune as a yearling. To say we were thrilled that they were willing to part with this black sabino beauty is an understatement. Fortune is one of those mares who was born broke. Her calm, sweet nature makes her a natural leader in her herd, and the perfect husband horse. In 2023 Fortune was bred to 5 star Gypsy Stallion and Breyer horse model Faugh-A-Ballagh of Willow Wind stables. We can't wait to see the foal that comes from these two extraordinary parents.
HG Eve Ill Intensions (Illie)
The half-sister of our beloved Monster Mash, Illie was the first mare purchased by the Finch family and when you meet her, it's easy to see why. She has the same sweet head, tiny ears and sense of fun as her older brother. Combine that with abundant, silky feather and a mane and tail that you can brush for days and you have a winning combination. Our farrier says she has the most perfect front feet he has ever seen and she has the solid bone you want in a proper Gypsy. At three years of age, Illie is just beginning her ridden career, but we have high expectations that she will be taking the show ring by storm, just like Monster. Illie will also be put in foal this spring to an absolutely stunning stallion. Stay tuned to see who we chose.
RLR NORMA JEAN
The instant we saw the first image of this gorgeous girl with her mother at only one month of age we knew we had to have her. Sired by SD Lionheart, out of SD Treasure, Norma Jean is the perfect example of what makes the River Lane Ranch breeding program and SD genetics so special. Norma Jean turns two this year and we are already eagerly planning a very special future for this very special girl.
