River Boyne Farm

06/17/2026

With so much chaos this spring we haven't had the time to make the proper introductions of our newest arrivals. Our farm story the last 5 months has felt quite similar to the Lemony Snicket books, A Series of Unfortunate Events. More to come on that later...

On May 15th we welcomed a new foal that I have been wanting for over 6 years. She is exactly what I ordered and more! Please help us welcome this adorable blue roan filly

💙 RBF Bugatti Brouillard 💙

She is by our French imported blue roan stallion, Rolls Royce Merlin of RBF (GW Abe X Silky Alana-SD Flash Harry)
And out of our hombred mare, RBF Emerald Isle (Sterling Spring Call Me Sir X CiCi's The Black Dahlia-St.Clarins)

Hetty, as we call her around the farm, is a one of a kind girl that absolutely needed her own fancy name. As we like to keep the car or engine theme with all of Roys foals, this girl is no different. Now I don't think many people are unaware of what a Bugatti is, but maybe not as many know of their new venture started in 2025, programme solitaire. This new program builds one of a kind hypercars tailored to each individual buyers preferences. Only one or two cars will be commissioned each year so that the builders can focus on every detail that the customer desires.

The first car ever built for Bugattis program solitaire, The Bugatti Brouillard (pronounced, Brew-Yar). This car was commissioned by a longtime collector of Bugatti creations. Not only does he have a rich Bugatti car collection (from Ettore Bugatti, the founder of the Bugatti cars), but also his brothers (Rembrant Bugatti) sculptures and his fathers (Carlo Bugatti) furniture. The Dutch collector wanted this car to embody what Ettore Bugatti loved most...his horse, Brouillard 💙

The Bugatti Brouillard is designed in an equestrian theme to fully embody Ettores love of his favorite horse. Built on the W16 platform with a 8.0L quad-turbocharged engine making 1,578hp and a sleek green carbon fiber body designed with muscular lines to bring out the look of a Thoroughbred horse. The interior, fully visible through the glass roof, shows off the aluminum gear shifter that has a glass insert with a hand crafted sculpture of a horse. Green plaid tarton fabric from paris adorn seats and door panels that have hand embroidered silhouettes of horses.
From 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds this car can reach 261 MPH 😳
Admittedly I don't think Hetty will have that peak athleticism in her, but she sure has the muscles and stature to stand out as one of a kind.

Hetty has her sires quiet and curious nature paired with her dams love for attention and theatrics. Given her massive size already I expect she will make at least her dams height of 15.1h. Either way, this girl isn't going anywhere

Due to some recent events at the farm, we have decided to offer a few breedings to our 2022 GVHS registered blue roan stallion...

💙 RBF Rolls Royce Griffon aka Griffon 💙

Current height of 14.3 1/2" and is PSSM negative. Ee aa tt and RN/rn

Offered to approved mares for Live cover only at this time. We know its late in the season for breeding plans and these are preferably to be used in 2027, but we may be able to squeeze in one or two 2026 breedings.

We feel that Griffon would be best suited for producing sporthorse type babies and would cross very well on friesian, Warmblood, and drum type builds.

River Boyne's Kissable at almost 2yrs old

03/26/2026

As we get closer to spring we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of two special deliveries 💚
One of these will be offered to the public as we have kept many half siblings. Oops...we're not good at letting go 😬😂

If you have always wanted a Connemara halfbred (Connemara/TB to be exact on this upcoming arrival), but found them to be a bit out of the budget....now is your chance! We're happy to offer terms from birth all the way through weaning at 6 months of age and a little beyond. Act now to plan your 2026 Christmas present 🎁

This foal is by Irish imported Connemara stallion, Menlo Poetic Lad (Blakehill Sparrow-Cnocban Casanova X Kinamara Poetic Lady-Poetic Kelly). Offering heavy bone, athleticism, and a beyond sweet temperament.

Out of our main Thoroughbred mare, Farasi. She may not be the tallest TB at only 15.2h, but she is about just as wide! Farasi has been with us since a yearling and she has one of the most unflappable temperaments, fantastic feet, and lovely conformation.

Foal will be ACPS registered and come with a lifetime USEF #
HWSD negative
EMH 15.1-15.2h
Bay or Buckskin 😍

It looks like the craziness of the weekend is finally behind us. The snow has slowed and the sun is trying to come out, kind of. Though cold with a current real feel of 1 degree 🥶

I feel the need to preface this with "I am not a tall woman, I stand all of 5'1", but....the snow we are getting currently is insanely deep!

You become accustomed to the crazy snowstorms when living in northern Michigan and most are a mild inconvenience at best. Snow that many would panic about is just another day in paradise here 🙄
This one is a downright pain in the butt! The drifts behind our main mare barn are well up to my chest and almost impassable. I felt like i was digging through a wall, sled in tow with the rope wrapped around my waist. My main pathway to the stallion barn is not passable with a drift between the barns that is all of 5ft tall. So for now we take the long path around the barns until I have a chance to shovel. I prefer not risking getting myself stuck in a drift 😂

Round bales are getting buried faster than the horses can eat. All of the weather alerts were advising no travel at all, which is not an option when you have livestock. As far as the horses...the "adults" are not amused and spending a lot of time in the shelters. The kids, which I deem anyone 3yrs and under, are having a blast! This is the best snow day for them and many are exploring snow drifts and honing their mountaineering skills as a team 🧗 I am slightly concerned that we are going to have to organize a rescue team when they get in over their heads. Figuratively and literally😆

The dreaded, Emergency vet bill, has struck again!

It's no surprise that there will be vet bills with farm animals, well all animals really, but it's always extra stressful when there is more than one at once. While we focus on the ones that need us the most, we would like to offer a few that we had intended to hold back for the program to new pastures. As always, they are offered only to the best fit.

Though we only have a few spots to offer for breedings to our boys (live cover on farm only) we are happy to chat about your goals and of we have the right stallion for your mare ❤️

Our hope, if the weather is as nice as predicted this weekend, is to get new pictures of the ones offered to new pastures
