Mares of Taproot Stud

Expecting

Expecting is a powerhouse of a mare! 


We had written up an ISO on Facebook looking for a high quality Thoroughbred to add when I received a message from Johnathan Sheppard's Assistant Trainer letting me know that she had the right mare for us. We were honestly surprised that we were able to find the. complete package, but low and behold, the trainer was right! She went on to tell me, additionally, Expecting is a phenomenal jumper. 


We were looking for strong, compact, good bone, forward minded, honest, and exceptionally good moving. Expecting checks all the boxes. She's a tough girl, not the easiest to handle in the barn, but doesn't require a blanket in foul weather, shoes in the dry summer or any special care. She's a professional grade mare. 'Built Ford Tough" is her tag line. 


Expecting is 3 generations of Sheppard's race program. We are incredibly lucky to have access to her caliber of thoroughbred genetics.
