🌷 Hello, Spring! 🌷

Our newest little filly is celebrating the first day of the season the best way she knows how — kicking up her heels, showing off a few playful bucks, and staying close to mom, Lucky.

Safe to say this girl is already bringing plenty of sunshine and personality to the pasture. ☘️🐴

Pretty, playful, and already full of personality ✨
This little filly is showing off her spunky side — all bounce, curiosity, and charm. We are just a little bit obsessed. 💚🐴

Back in action and back in the money — Ms Aventina returned to the races on March 15, 2026 at Tampa Bay Downs and finished third in Race 6!
For her first outing back after a hiatus, we were so proud to see her come back with such a solid showing. Here’s to Ms Aventina being right back where she belongs! 🏇💙

And keep an eye out… Aegon Targaryen will be heading to the track soon. The Dragon is coming. 🐉🔥

Our little girl may only be hours old in this video, but she’s already showing off a bit of attitude! 🐴✨

This sweet filly by Poker’Poker Tartifume (“Cooper”) out of Mineshaft Madness (“Lucky”) wasted no time testing out those legs — throwing a few tiny bucks around the paddock while still keeping a close eye on mom.

We love seeing that spunky personality and confidence right from the start. 💚

This special Connemara x Thoroughbred filly will be offered for sale, and we can’t wait to watch her continue to grow. For more information please reach out to Mary K. Thomas at [email protected].

🍀 Lucky’s Lucky Charm 🍀

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Team Equistaff is celebrating the arrival of our newest little bit of Irish luck! This beautiful filly, born March 14th at 6:30 AM, is by Poker’Poker Tartifume (“Cooper”), a purebred Connemara, and out of Mineshaft Madness (“Lucky”).

The Connemara breed traces its roots to the rugged west coast of Ireland, where these horses became famous for their athleticism, intelligence, and hardy spirit — and if this little girl is any indication, she inherited plenty of that famous Irish character.

She’s only a couple days old and already showing off a spunky personality and plenty of curiosity about the world around her. We can’t wait to watch her grow!

She’s here! 🎀🐴

Our beautiful filly out of Team Equistaff’s Mineshaft Madness (“Lucky”) and by Poker’Poker Tartifume (“Cooper”) arrived March 14th, 2026 at 6:30 AM, and we couldn’t be happier with this special cross — half Thoroughbred, half Connemara.

This lovely girl is for sale, reach out to [email protected] for more information! ✨

In the meantime, what do you think we should call her while she’s in the Team Equistaff barn? Drop your barn name suggestions below!

👑🔥 ALL HAIL THE DRAGON KING 🔥👑

Aegon Targaryen takes FIRST PLACE in the 7th race at Tampa Bay Downs today (1/9/2026) — and wow, did he earn it. 🏇✨

Settled patiently early, Aegon unleashed a powerful move down the stretch, rallied past rivals, and dug in gamely to seal the victory like a true ruler of the realm. Calm, calculated, and absolutely fearless — this dragon waited for his moment… and then took the throne.

Aegon came, saw, and CONQUERED. 👑🔥

🔥 Hear ye, hear ye! 🔥
A dragon enters the arena…

Aegon Targaryen takes to the track this Friday, January 8th, in the 7th race at Tampa Bay Downs 🏇

No iron throne needed — this Aegon rules with hooves, heart, and a whole lot of horsepower. Expect speed, strength, and maybe just a little dragon fire down the stretch.

Winter may be coming (it’s not, we live in FL)… but Aegon is RUNNING. 👑🔥

Let’s go, Team Equistaff — Valar Gallophis 🐎✨

01/01/2026

What a finish! As we flash past the 2025 line, we’re already looking ahead to a bigger, bolder run in 2026.
Cheers to the trainers, riders, grooms, breeders, and every hand that keeps this industry moving.
May your year be fast, safe, and full of wins. 💚✨
