June 11, 2005-Lafonsa has a colt.
Our mare, Lafonsa (Hofnar v Astor), gave birth to a beautiful bay colt on
June 10, 2005, and the mother and son are doing fine. Lafonsa was
imported from Holland in 1999 and began here show career in Wellington
the following winter. It soon became apparent that she had something
wrong as she would be sound and then slightly off and then sound again.
She was finally diagnosed with a calcified hematoma that was pressing on
her spinal column. It was removed, but by that time there was permanent
damage. She has been a wonderful broodmare, foaling Un Bel Di in 2000,
Vermeer HF in 2001 and now her new colt, Attacus.
