The Magic of Elixir![]()
![]()
Magic Elixir is pictured here, by Suzanne, with Mark Burke, in Virginia. For all that know and love this magnificent horse, each has their very own reason or reasons. For Shawn it is two fold: "First and foremost, he is simply a great horse. My description of such a stallion is that he is extremely correct with no serious faults, yet has to be beautiful (breathtaking will also do). He must have a unique style with a pedigree that tells me he can replicate all of the above qualities. Magic covers all bases. Secondly, he needs to be managed by breeders that understand mare owner challenges when shipping semen, as that is huge. Oh and I forgot to say getting great semen is beyond huge!"![]()
![]()
Continues Shawn, "I don't have a clue when it comes to breeding stuff. Between Mark and Deb Burke – Magic's owners - and with an amazing customized service, and tips from Mike Cimino, our shipped semen guru, LV Gamblers Joy (*Mishaal hp x Bint Bint Shahsria by Thee Desperado) owned by Dale and Jackie Goodrich of Arabian Hills and with a BIG pretty filly at her side, just checked in foal at 45 days. When the vet ran the ultrasound over the embryo, and showed me the baby, it felt like winning a National Championship! We, of course, think it is a gorgeous bay colt in that "winner's circle" dream of ours!"![]()
![]()
Shares Shawn, "This post is for, and dedicated to, all the mare owners, over the years, that during breeding season and that I always said to, "piece of cake – no worries”, well I have learned there is a little more to it than that piece of cake answer."![]()

Cheers to all and please watch for Magic’s babies photos to post this weekend.![]()
