A JOURNEY INTO BREEDING - OUR FIRST BROODMARES
“In 2025, we bought our first two broodmares from the Capital Auction, and it became one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences we have ever had with horses. We were incredibly fortunate with the quality of the mares, the sires, and the bloodlines behind them. Both mares have wonderful personalities - sweet, gentle, and easy to love - and they quickly became a special part of life at our stables.
Watching the pregnancies and births unfold was unforgettable, especially as it was our very first experience with broodmares and foals. Thankfully, both births went smoothly and without complications, which made the experience even more special for us. Capital Lilongwe gave birth to Tanzanite in November, while Capital Lacey gave birth to Taliah in December. The two foals are very close in age and have already formed a strong bond. They spend their days together being playful, curious, and a little bit naughty, which brings endless joy around the stables.
Seeing the foals grow up alongside their mothers has been an amazing journey, deepening our appreciation for breeding quality horses. We truly believe that investing in good broodmares is an incredible experience for anyone passionate about horses. The Capital Auction gave us access to exceptional bloodlines, and we are excited to watch these young horses develop into what we hope will one day become future champions.” - the Coetzee Family
