News From McDodi Farms

It has been great seeing everyone at the shows!! We are hoping that the remainder of season proves as good as the beginning.   Trainer Marco Suarez has been super busy with several new horses in for training. We’d like to welcome our new members to the barn and look forward to working with you over the next several months. At this time we are unable to accept any new horses. Our waiting list has been extended to October.

We’ve had several foals born this season and we are waiting still on three more.  So far Paint’s Copy of Cotton aka Lightning delivered a giant spotted filly by Stormy’s Lightning, Dollar’s Black Eyed Susan had a stunning bright chestnut colt by Ted Williams, Olympic Dream gave us a beautiful tall black filly by Stormy’s Lightning, Chiquita Banana (Jose mare) surprised us with a solid white colt by Pusher’s Next Generation and Jazz Dark Design delivered a lit up grey filly also by Pusher’s Next Generation. All of these babies will be available for purchase as soon as they are weaned. Pictures will be up on our website www.mcdodifarms.com soon.
