Sadly, at the end of the year we had to say goodbye to one of our great mares. Hawtins Donna Lisa, by Don Frederico, was a daughter of our great foundation mare State Premium World’s Finest. She has given us many special offspring including her last foal by Von und Zu in 2021 and she was a fantastic mother. She was a real character too and we all have a lot of memories to cherish. She had spent her retirement with her sisters which was very special. Sadly though, age-related issues caught up with her and we had to make the right decision for her. Friends were always very important to ‘Princess’, so we hope she is running free over the rainbow bridge with plenty of friends. Her legacy lives on through her many daughters.
