Open House Scheduled Jan. 20 at Rancho San Miguel
California's Rancho San Miguel will host an open house and stallion show Saturday, Jan. 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. while featuring an informational program for both current and prospective Thoroughbred owners and breeders, the farm said in a release Friday. In addition to a parade of the farm's nine-horse stallion roster, the free event will also offer horse husbandry seminars, networking opportunities, a catered lunch, and giveaways, including a stallion season raffle. The farm's newest addition to the stallion roster is the undefeated Bolden (Square Eddie), who will stand his initial season in 2024 for $3,500.
“We are always proud to open our doors to members of the racing and breeding community, and to invite mare owners to see our stallions up close in this casual format,” said Rancho San Miguel's Tom Clark. “This year, we are adding some educational sessions and expert speakers to our line-up, which I believe will offer a well-rounded experience for attendees.”
Additionally, several horses representing Rancho San Miguel's consignment to the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association's 2024 Winter Mixed Sale will also be on display during the event.
Among other scheduled activities are a discussion on equine reproduction by Stacy Potter, DVM, of S&S Equine Veterinary Services and a session on equine nutrition by Purina feed representative Jordan Baumgartner.
Contact the farm at (805) 467-3847 or info@ranchosanmiguel.net to RSVP.

First Foal Reported for New York’s Mind Control
The first foal for three-time Grade I winner Mind Control (Stay Thirsty) was reported born Thursday, Jan. 4, at Irish Hill Farm in Stillwater, New York. The filly, who is also the first foal out of the winning mare Gentle Annie (Freud), was bred by Blue Streak Racing LLC.
“She looks just like her daddy,” said Irish Hill's Rick Burke. “We all like her a lot. One of her owners was out here and commented that she looks just like her sire. That's a good thing. If they all come out looking like him we'll have some runners.”
For his first season in 2023, Mind Control set New York records for mares bred with 190 and number of mares in foal with 171. Winner of the GI Cigar Mile H., the GI H. Allen Jerkens S., and the GI Hopeful S., Mind Control will stand the 2024 season at Rockridge Stud for $8,500 LFSN as a joint venture between Irish Hill/Dutchess View Farm, Waldorf Farm, and Hidden Lake Farm.
