Welcome Dew Drop MEC: A Special Hanoverian Colt with a Big Future

It is always a thrilling time of year when foal season arrives at Moonlight Equestrian Center, but this spring brought us something truly special. After a beautiful line of fillies, our proven broodmare Ginger Ale HU finally gave us a colt! Born in May, amidst the steady spring rains, we are incredibly proud to introduce Dew Drop MEC.

And the best part? He is currently offered for sale.
