Introducing the Triple Crown Litter!
On August 16, 2016 SummersSpirit Chickadee and SummersSpirit Spectre (Pook) welcomed 6 beauties into this world. They are named after some of the greatest racehorses that have ever graced this world, as we are sure they will be champions in their own right, if only simply champion couch warmers!
SummersSpirit Man o' War (Boy-Reserved)
Arguably one of the greatest racehorses ever, the only reason Man o' War did not win a Triple Crown is because he was never raced in the Kentucky Derby.
