BFA Exotic Ducati

BFA Exotic Ducati was the 1st foal out of the mare DMF Grand Impression out of TB Midnite Summers Dream (Stonecroft Byzantine x THB Heavens Frenchstarlet). Dolly, as we called her, was a stunning black filly that was splashed with white markings. I believe this mare could have been phenomenal western horse if we had put her in the correct hands. Dolly was HOT but smart so training her was a bit of a task. Matthew Schlabach at Noble Equine Stables was our trainer and if I remember correctly, it took him 2-3 months of groundwork until he got her hooked. Once we had her hooked, she progressed quickly and was soon my parents main driving horse. Her stamina and willing attitude was next-to-none and she was a pleasure to have around.

Unfortunately, Dolly sustained an injury that tore off a large portion of her hoof and she never quite recovered to the point that she was sound. In 2017, I decided to breed her and chose KJM Soul Commander as her mate. Dolly carried the foal to a full term but there were complications in the foaling process and the foal died at birth. I bred back to KJM Soul Commander in 2018.

In the meantime, Verlin Lehman inquired about this mare and I decided I’m going to sell her. She had a really nice black colt that Verlin sold to a gentleman in Delaware for a potential herd sire. She is still a broodmare at Verlin’s farm and produced some really nice offspring. I believe she is in foal to Dragonsmeade Sea Dragon for a 2023 foal so that should an exciting foal.
