Nacho's Blog

Coming to you from Wildwood Farm on Whidbey Island, Washington.

About Nacho

Nacho is a yearling bay Thoroughbred colt, born on March 12, 2009. His dam (mother) is Lika Lit'l Jewel, and she resides here at the farm. His sire (father) is Private Gold and he lives in Enumclaw. Putter is Nacho's half brother as they have the same father! Nacho will be a fantastic race horse when he grows up, and will probably mature to 15.3 - 16 hands tall. Nacho is registered with the Jockey Club and Wildwood Farm plans to race him when he is old enough, here in Washington.

Nacho weighed in at 110 lbs at birth and was 45" tall. He took his first steps 20 minutes after he was born, and learned to gallop when he was a day old! He was weaned from his mom by fall and has taken to romping with the 3 other colts on the farm.

Cost of Ownership (monthly)

NACHO (yearling)

I was born at Wildwood Farm and by the time I was born I cost close to $5,000.00. They had to pay for the fee to breed to my father and the vet costs associated with the care and breeding of my mother. Though the money initially invested in me seems like a lot, it also costs a good deal monthly to keep me healthy and happy.

My feed is:
LMF Development 2x daily (3 lbs)+ LMF Gold 1x daily (1.5lb) = $ 75.00/mo
3 flakes Alfalfa Hay hay per day (15lbs) = $60.00 (plus grazing for 8 hours per day)
Total feed: $110.00

My supplements:
Peppermint leaf 1 tps daily = $5.00/mo
Equisano 1 scoop daily = $30.00/mo
Dong Quai 1 tsp daily = $5.00/mo

Care & Custody: $ 400.00 per month

Annual Vet care: $1,000.00

Annual Farrier care: $ 382.50

Total Wildwood Farm pays for me monthly: $690.50

Blog Post from Nacho's Handler!

When this little boy was born I knew we were in for something special - he just knows (really knows!) that he is awesome and has the most dynamic personality - very courageous, confident and - believe it or not - very sensitive. His mother, Hope, is also very sensitive and obviously passed this on to him. By sensitive I mean that he is very in tune with his environment and was by…
