The breeding season has seen a great group of mares bred for 2007. We are excited to see what each year's babies bring, and next year is no exception. A couple of repeat results to this year would be great! As an added bonus, Whammy was bred to his first palimino mare, MLB The Madam.
Whammy babies are nominated for the Michigan Morgan Breeder's Futurity Sweepstakes, so there is still some Sweeps action in 2006!
Congratulations to Ridgewood Farm on their recent purchase of Shaboom Shaboom, in foal to Whammy for a 2007 foal.

The next generation of Martins is hitting the showring with great results! Myriah and Shelby have enjoyed showing both Hunt and Western this year

Morgan Valley Farm. One of the biggest thrills came when the girls were
pinned Champion and reserve for the walk-trot hunter pleasure division at
the Michigan All-Morgan.
