Expecting a Special Foal...

Ancient Oaks did not breed anything last year, so I am having to live vicariously through MLM Arabians!
They are expecting their first foal by their stallion, A.O. Breeze. Breeze was actually bred by Ancient Oaks, and acquired by MLM Arabians in 2009. Shown by his amateur owner, Breeze promptly started winning all over the place. Greenbroke, he was then put with an open trainer to learn jumping. After 39 days training - total - he took the reserve championship at the Arabian/Half Arabian National Sporthorse show. I believe he remains the only horse to ever win both jumping and halter titles on his breed circuit.
MLM leased a grey mare, Angelina Wind, from Ancient Oaks last year to get this foal. Angelina Wind has only produced one other offspring, a filly by the Hanoverian stallion, DeLaurentis. They were presented to the GOV last year, and approved. It's worth noting that Angelina Wind was 17 years old at the time, only 14.2 hh, and had been taken straight from pasture. She had a broken hock as a youngster, and although started under saddle, has not done a day of work in her life. She is also half-sister to the well known open circuit, purebred Arabian jumper, Russian Roulette.
Angelina's foal is due at the end of the month. It will be a very special event for all parties involved. Send good thoughts! Also send "filly" thoughts - they're hoping for a filly. MLM has bred a foal 4 times, and produced 4 colts. They are hoping to break the streak this time.
Also, name suggestions are welcome!
