We have just delivered Marco to his new home in the most beautiful countryside. Hopefully we will see him out and about at the shows soon. Quite possibly the cutest foal - I have great hopes for him!

Marco leaves home!
We have just delivered Marco to his new home in the most beautiful countryside. Hopefully we will see him out and about at the shows soon. Quite possibly the cutest foal - I have great hopes for him!
And.....
What a difference a day makes!! Filly born at 3.20 am on the 24th of April out of Kofi and by Exbury Ghost.
Very much a "mini me" of Kofi!

Taking my own advice...
Ah well the great new breeding plan failed at the first hurdle - The few spot mare I had bought in "Kadan White Dancer" sadly tested heterozygous grey which is no good when you are breeding spots so she had to go.
I actually took my own advice for a change which is "if a horse doesn't do your job, price it so that it will sell quickly to someone who has a job for it, and move on," I am constantly amazed how many people ask us to sell their horses and despite them being vastly inferior to the horse they bought (no recent competition record, not in work, won't load, blemished - usually all four!) they always want more than they paid for it!!
So Dancer was advertised as grey, her price adjusted accordingly and she left this morning to start her new career under saddle.
You win some, you loose some, hey ho.

First chukkas for 2009
A lovely bright (dry!!) day for the first chukkas of 2009. Both ponies played well and were happy to be out and about.
The new supercharged Arrayan fed on racehorse mix!
ELBOW!!
Hardly there five minutes and trashing the place!!
Wills baby daughter had her first sit on a pony - Arrayan - what else! She looked very at home on the little stallion! Monday, 13 April 2009
