Filly, named Daphne, born to Rebecca Meana's Trakehner (Westphalen premium) mare, Pantera, 4/04/04. Might be black! Star, 3 white socks!! Sound familiar? ... like Donavan. Lovely, came a bit early but everyone is fine! Pantera is a first-time mom and doing well. Rebecca is in Iowa and she began her journey into breeding to Donavan by buying the donated breeding from the September 11-Firefighters Benefit Auction that was held by Wisconsin Equine Clinic. This is the "horse of her dreams" and the breeding was purchased as a present to herself for graduation from college! We are so happy for her!
