December 31st 2006 - Special Birthday Wishes

 
 
 
Today NIHAL PHILLIPA (Arim x Bint Kyrie) turns 28.
 
  
PHILLIPA was purchased as a yearling filly from, the now late, Bob Pilgrim.
He purchased her from the annual Victorian Arabian Horse Auction, to keep an interest in the Arabian horse, as he had recently dispersed his Warwick Arabian Stud. Bob then entrusted PHILLIPA to Paul and Norma of Bluegrass, to prepare, train, show and eventually sell.
But she stayed with us and to think that it all began from a "gut" feeling.
Norma says, "It was so strong, we just had to have her!"
PHILLIPA has produced 17 foals, 13 of them in a row ...
11 females / 6 males - nice ratio!
Her babies are:
BLUEGRASS FILIGREE (Desert Ed-len) 1981 Bay Mare

We have very BIG NEWS to share with you all this month..........
the beautiful BLUEGRASS EASY LOVIN has been SOLD !
She will be off to Saudi Arabia by the weekend, heading over for a show at the end of March, in Dubai.
It has certainly been an emotional time here at Bluegrass this week.
A time of excitement....... our baby is off to conquer the world. But also a time for tears, knowing that a very precious piece of our family is leaving us.
 
  "Good-bye EL"
 
We would like to THANK Greg Hazelwood for "spotting" EL, when he judged her Supreme Female at the 2004 Arabian Classic. And also Thank you to Michael Byatt for all of his assistance and many phone calls.
