Janurary 28th 2009: Buttercups first foal has arrived! Carried by a surrogate mare Buttercups first foal was born a bit after 11 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2009! It's a beautiful long legged solid chestnut filly with a perfect star on her head. Sired by Liberty Gold, you can see she has his exceptional conformation and Buttercups sweet spunky personality. We are absolutley in love with this filly and are thinking of naming her London Dream (London after her grandsire Londonderry and Dream after her grandsire Blue Eyed Dream).
