We will be sharing updates and details on the past participants from Foal Patrol Seasons 1 & 2 over the next couple weeks. Old Tavern Farm provided the following details on Comme Chez Soi19, the Malibu Moon filly from Season 2. She has been at Old Tavern Farm in various paddocks on premise throughout the past year. The last few weeks have consisted of preparations for yearling inspections. Greg Daley shared that Comme Chez Soi19 is one of their top sales prospects. Last week, she was accepted for the select Fasig sale and the Old Tavern team is deciding where she will be placed. They try to pick the best spot for their horses so they are in the top on the day they are going to sell. Watch the video below to see some of her inspection up close.
This year in late March, Comme Chez Soi delivered a healthy Good Magic filly. In April, the mare and foal traveled out to Sally Thomas in Kentucky where Comme Chez Soi was rebred to Omaha Beach. Comme Chez Soi is doing well and will travel back to Old Tavern sometime in June.
Farriers are the professionals who care for the horse’s hooves. They are an important part of the equine management team. Most farriers are familiar with specific breeds of horses and their needs by studying at a training school, serving an apprenticeship, and then becoming licensed or certified. This extensive hands-on training is vital to becoming a professional farrier.
Hoof care is very important for thoroughbred horses. Picking, trimming and shoeing are general aspects of hoofcare. Below Old Tavern Farm broodmare manager, Trina Pasckvale shares how the yearlings at the farm get regular hoof care. In the video, Comme Chez Soi’19 is getting a regular trim and being sales prepped for the spring. Yearlings get a trim approximately once a month and that is done on a regular basis to keep them correct.
