A TRUE BLACK COLT WITH CHROME!!
We are proud to introduce "Jayden," Foxdale Farm's
one and only 2009 foal
by Gatsby, out of Lori's treasured Thoroughbred mare, Scooter.
 Jayden
is a TRUE BLACK with a perfect star and 2 opposite white socks. He
is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, with a very nice head, a gorgeous neck, long
legs, an uphill build, and a very elegant presence. He is incredibly
friendly with a funny & entertaining personality.  We
are so proud of this cross and are confident that he will be an
outstanding representation of both his sire and dam in both the
trainability and talent departments with a TON of beauty as icing on the
cake. We could not be happier with the result of this breeding.

HANSEL
< Gatsby x Miss Scooter xx >
BWP
Premium Foal
PEDIGREE
We would like to introduce our very first and very own
homebred colt, Hansel, a.k.a. “Hans.”
He is out of my (Lori’s) beloved Thoroughbred mare, Scooter.
Hans is the result of many years of anticipation for what Scooter
would be capable of producing in a foal.
Although I really wanted to breed Scooter because I absolutely
adore her and want to keep a part of her with me for years to come, I
also wanted to breed her because of her many admirable traits.
She exudes femininity and elegance.
She is spirited, intelligent and kind, and she has been an
amazing friend through seemingly countless life changes and situations.
She is compact in her build and powerful in her gaits with great
freedom in the shoulder and gorgeous elasticity in her movement.
She has taken my breath away more times than I can count when
I’ve watched her floating in the pasture with her head held high,
snorting with her proud “diva” attitude.
In breeding her to Gatsby I hoped to improve her neck set, add a
little more bone and substance, get a little more suspension in the trot
and a slightly more quiet disposition.
Hansel is EVERYTHING I could have wanted and more.
For starters he is very, very handsome.
He has Gatsby’s trademark sweet disposition and willingness to
learn, an extraordinary uphill balance, a beautiful neck-set and face,
straight, long, correct legs, great shoulder freedom, and the hind-end
suspension I wanted. He will
be very “typey” and modern-looking.

- JULY 2007
I am increasingly
excited about our colt, Hansel. He is gorgeous in his
movement and presence. Wow! Yesterday I put him and
the mare in a round pen where he could show me his stuff.
He is very uphill in his balance (he's actually extraordinarily
well balanced), has a gorgeous neck-set, and this amazing
loftiness in his way of going. He not only floats, he
seems to "boing!" I wish I had a better way of
putting it. But I think he's gonna make an amazing
dressage horse. He is typey and light, very elegant and
majestic when he goes. In the stall he is all about hugs,
kisses, and scratches - a typical Gatsby foal. I will keep
updating you with pictures, etc. He is EVERYTHING I wanted
out of this mare, and I always knew she had the capacity to
produce a lovely foal.

UPDATE
- AUGUST 2007
Hans has "show horse"
written all over him. He's just really, really handsome!
He is very correct, displays his sire's same gorgeous neck-set,
has straight, perfectly proportioned legs, a strong loin
connection, an uphill, compact build, and strong, round
hindquarters. His features are both masculine and refined
and he has a lot of presence. He shows beautiful reach
through his shoulders, natural suspension, and displays a great,
uphill balance in his movement. Hans is also somewhat
of a character and has a funny personality. He is smart,
learns quickly and loves people. He loves to be brushed
and scratched and will stand there all day as long you're
willing to keep brushing and touching him. He will most
likely mature to 16.1 or 16.2 and will bring tons of beauty and plenty
of presence and talent to whatever discipline he embarks upon.

HADLEY
< Gatsby x Pride of Kildare xx >
BWP
Premium Foal
PEDIGREE
Hadley was born with very long legs and excellent
bone. He has a great, correct conformation, already shows a
beautiful, cadenced trot and an effortless, floating, balanced canter.
Hadley was built to be an athlete. His dam was a very successful
racehorse and with both her and Gatsby's athleticism, Hadley
should be able to excel in any sport horse discipline. Although
Hadley is a little shy, he is very sweet and easy to work with and loves
human interaction. Hadley is going to be tall! It will be
awhile before he grows into those legs. He will be a beautiful
partner in the show ring and is already starting to shed out to be dark
bay with three white markings.
