Regal Shot Filly

(Regal Shot - South Carolina)
Weanling

It has always been TLR's objective to not only buy yearlings from sales to race, but also to breed horses to race. The first horse bred by TLR is a lovely filly by Regal Shot out of the Secret Savings mare South Carolina. It is expected that this filly will form part of a syndicate that will be put together in late 2006, whilst we also expect to be ready to buy again at the yearling sales in early 2007. It is our intention to keep you up to date with the progress of the Regal Shot filly as she matures from a foal to a yearling and then hopefully a successful racehorse.

Update 20 April 2006
So how would you feel if you were just a tad over 6 months old and you had not left your Mum's side for even a minute of those 6 months... Then on a day no different to any other, you routinely followed your Mum into a stable, but after walking into the stable, she walked straight out again and somebody shut the door before you could keep following her and you never see her again?

Well, this is what happened to our darling filly only 2 weeks ago when she was weaned off her mother and she now officially can no longer be called a foal, but she instead has progressed to being a weanling.

The first week after being weaned our filly has been adjusting to life without Mum in the stable and slowly the loss started to wear away. Additionally, the filly is starting to be handled for the very first time, adjusting to humans, having her feet picked up and generally getting comfortable with her carer's, who prepare the horse with basic skills for life as a racehorse.

Then with a bunch of new found friends (other weanlings) our filly was shifted from the stable to a large grassy paddock and is now learning about life in the social structure of a herd. The filly she can roam and play as much as she likes as she continues to grow up and in 3 to 4 short months, she will officially become a yearling. As August 1 is the birthday for every horse in the southern hemisphere regardless of when they are actually born. Now our filly has forgotten about Mum completely, whilst Mum is back in foal preparing for the birth our weanling's full brother or sister which is to be born in 6 months time.
