During her pregnancy, Aleeyah lived at Mark and Deb Burke’s Amethyst Acres Equine Center, Inc. in Buchanan, Virginia. Amethyst Acres is just minutes from Greg and Monique’s farm, Rockbridge Arabians. Mark called Shawn as soon as Nocturne was born, and she said, “Mark never calls me about the colts, but he said, ‘You might want to get out here. Your mare Aleeyah just had a pretty impressive colt. By the way, he is black.’”
