Lovely Echo had her first foal, the dark bay/brown colt Sounds of Seattle by Slewdledo in the early morning hours of 4/19/05. Typical for his sire, Sounds of Seattle is tall and big boned and has a great temperament. Pictured as a weanling, Sounds of Seattle has grown into a tall, near black colt. All the best to his new owner and to his trainer Delmer Webb.

During the early morning hours of 4/24/07, Lovely Echo had a tall, correct and big boned dark bay or brown colt by the Danzig stallion Petersburg . Already named Not Just Any Pete, he is trained for his new owner by Doris Harwood, who also had trained his dam Lovely Echo. All the best to Pet's new connections. We are looking forward to seeing you at Emerald Downs in 2009.
Her 2008 foal was another tall colt, Echomaniac. This exceptional colt is one of the last foals of the promising young sire Tribunal.
