Not complaining Warren,I love every one of them and I know what it's like to be in your situation as we've had this happen a few times and it sucks mate.i hope you can stick with it because the story of the archduchess came from a mare that we struggled to get in foal,her name was la speranza we were only breeding from 3 mares back then,la speranza died and we still had a CC service that we wanted to use but the only mare we had that was empty was Sheez not perfect who was no good,and as you can see if you look up her foals before duchess we went to VERY moderate priced stallions.cut a long story short we said "bugger it" let's use the Cullen service,keep the foal and give the mare away.Foal was duchess! And she came at a time we really were getting out.i suppose you never know where and when your luck will change. I wish you the best mate!
