Rain, Rain, Go Away...

We've had not too bad a run, some more harrowing and topping done, place starting to look green and dare I say it, tidy in places.  Got a few nice shots yesterday but it was back to exercise sheets and waterproofs on the Wattaman gallops this morning.  All the foals are having a day in to dry out.  The good news is Bellini is now sold and will be leaving us to head way down South at the beginning of December.

Not something you see every day...

Riding out in a T-shirt, glorious!


Happy Foals

Bellini, Morello and Tigger enjoying a beautiful sunny day, Bellini says it would be improved if her mother didn't keep shedding her winter coat over her head!

St Helen's Regency Bubbles foals

A spotty chestnut filly for Bubbles (by Exbury Ghost) another flashy foal with four white socks and a partial blue eye.  We have named her Chamfron Bellini.

Another glorious day...

Makes such a difference to get some sunshine, the foals are all out together enjoying the nice weather, some mares have been covered and both horse and lamb were exercised.  The lamb must have done a good two furlongs and looked quite useful!

Chasing Bubbles...

Embarrassing confession time...  The Co-Op was selling all different types of bubble making paraphernalia including a super dooper heart shaped bubble wand.  Ah I thought I could buy that and take some shots of the foals with heart shaped bubbles around them for the February photo of my calendar (Valentines, love, shop bought sentiment, you know).  Yes, despite a good private education and a science based degree, I was more than a little disappointed to get round bubbles.  I hang my head in shame!
