CHRISTEE
(Sponsor: Lewis Brown Griggs) This seven-year-old Belgian draft and former PMU mare arrived in our herd in December 2007. She was pregnant with a warmblood foal who died in birth a few months later on May 14, 2008. She bravely survived hospitalization and a difficult extraction. We named her black colt - and now our primary farm - Equistar.
