Tomorrow at Double Diamond Farm Starr Bear and her filly will say farewell for a couple of months. Starr Bear will travel to be bred to Exaggerator at Winstar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky. Both are in good health for the drive and the plan is for them to come back to Florida in a few months. Please keep checking in for updates!
Starr Bear 19 is in full exploration mode as she grows and learns about being a filly on Double Diamond Farm. She is nursing well, enjoying her time outside and developing right on track.
After the long awaited birth of Starr Bear 19, we learned that Double Diamond Farm has a sweet tradition of raising a flag when a foal is born. Melissa Anthony shares "The flag, or changing of the flag is an indication to everyone a foal was born. The flag is changed each time a foal is born, blue for it's a boy and pink for it's a girl." Pretty fun! Here is a image of the flag hung for our latest Foal Patrol filly.
With determination and gusto, Starr Bear19 pushed her way up to standing last night shortly after being born.
Starr Bear delivered a filly at 9:50 p.m. tonight. The filly came fast and Starr Bear instantly took care of her. Here is a video of the birth. Congratulations Double Diamond Farm!
