Babe,
who was bred to be a broodmare, is an exciting addition to Circle D Horses.

Distinction," on her pedigree, and with leading broodmare sires as sire
and grandsires, she promises to be a very good producer.
Babe
is the dam of an outstanding yearling colt

stout, muscular, correct good-looking individuals -- incredibly intelligent,
too. She is really a good mare! Babe is back in foal to
