Gail Thomson writes ... Gayfields Elixer LOM, Section B, is by Pendock Masterpiece and out of the *Sleight of Hand daughter, Gayfields Love Potion No. Nine.  She has three LOM’s, one AOE and four Order of the Dragon awards in her pedigree.  However, it is her own foals that have won this Dam LOM for her.  Elixer was bred and foaled in 1992 at Gayfields and will always be owned by Gayfields.

Gayfields Elixer has produced seven foals after a successful show career in the junior breeding classes.  Winning this award for her was accomplished by two of her four daughters by Rollingwoods Easy As L: Gayfields Miss Lydia Pinkham and Gayfields L O Dolly and the final leg was contributed by Gayfields Dubbel Dose by Dubbel LL’s Swifty.  Of Elixer’s seven foals the only colt disappeared into the hunter world, two fillies fled to Idaho and the other four are still at Gayfields. Three of them will be out in the show ring again in 2008 serving as mounts for the Gayfields granddaughters and their mother.

Elixer has a greatly valued habit in addition to her preponderance of fillies! She is a great "milker" and feeds every foal in the pasture whose own dam will allow it. It is not unusual to see her with two foals nursing at once while her own looks on and waits her turn. For this trait alone she would have earned a permanent place in our broodmare band. She is in foal to Gayfields Eurotrash for 2008.
