A 'Special' Flightline Foal at Machmer Hall

Special Me is already the dam of two Grade I winners and two Grade II winners, but the blue hen mare has plenty more in the pipeline. This year she has a filly by Horse of the Year Flightline.

She’s so special because she’s not in-bred within the first five gens, and even further back than that it is sparingly. Her dam goes straight back on top to Sir Gaylord, out of Somethingroyal (through Lord Avie) . She’s got a lot of of good stuff going on with her and she’s passing it on 😊.

Chestnut filly! Class that is💯

[@steveludwig4200]

Best of health and good luck to "Special Flight"....And her Mom!

Beautiful filly with an elegant look to her.

Special Me is a very good Mare from Unbridled's Song, I like the breeding Matings , and I wish Machmer Hall a lot of success for the Future.

[@JamesJones-tt9sf]

I hope you keep the Flightline for your program! I also noticed just upon her race record people would be saying she’s not commercial (disregard her sire Unbridled’s Song) but as you have said in the past his speed will turn up.

Hopefully she gets a good retirement. Not dumped at the sale like so mamy good old girls.

[@horsepoorwilson]

hopefully she won't die foaling either

[@shannon9155]

Please be aware that horses are under violent attack in America and the State of Florida. Please make sure you have security cameras. Horses are being stolen and killed for meat on the black market. Please be aware of this and everyone take measures to keep horses safe. A racing horse named Funny Biz was just killed in the Tampa Bay area on some back woods farm and it was recorded by investigators. They think she was stolen and killed. It's awful. Be vigilant and aware. We must rescue and protect horses from being killed!!!! We owe these majestic creatures so much.

[@DeannaWalsh]

@@shannon9155 Yes, they get a lot of money for their meat. They do not care of the horse’s value… they just take them and sometimes kill and butcher right in the pastures.

[@laurawoodside2481]

Hopefully they let her retire after this year. 20 is too old to ne having babies.

Yip all aboot the 💵💵

[@montanawarren8462]

That's a super nice full but the poor old mare needs her neck adjusted by your local chiropractor...bueno suerto

[@JamesJones-tt9sf]

Special Me’s neck is a little sunken but it could be the angle of the photo?

[@DeannaWalsh]

@@JamesJones-tt9sf She has high withers and seems underweight. Yet, she is an old mare (18) here.

[@montanawarren8462]

When are mane flips over in one spot that generally means that there's a vertebrae out of alignment in her neck & her muscles pull it out of whack the same as down their back when you adjust their back BUT on top of that she's 18 years old is probably time to retire her I'm thinking she's really done a good job ​@@JamesJones-tt9sf

[@montanawarren8462]

@@JamesJones-tt9sf Her mane is flipped over where the alignment is out of Wac

[@DeannaWalsh]

@@JamesJones-tt9sf She is an older mare, and also looks very underweight. Because of her age, that is why it may look that way. But I do think she needs groceries.
