Chamfron Ojo de Tigre - 12 days old

Everybody loves a Tigger, he's doing very well, bold as brass and like all good Tiggers, extremely bouncy!!

Possibly a breakthrough?

Looking back at the blog, I didn't really blog on day two when she really was awful, unable to stand and fitting so this is a great improvement -  drinking from mum (with help).  Might start thinking of a name for her (or is that the kiss of death?) 

Still here...

The filly is still with us, maybe fractionally brighter today (though I think her chances are still very slim).  After feeding her I left Mark in the pen texting Kevin and went to fuss Tigger, five minutes went past, no Mark.  I thought he must be writing War and Peace but no the sleepless nights had nailed him! 

Paloma and Rufina

Paloma is happily settled into her new home and is already shedding most of her winter coat and looking good.  Rufina was one yesterday and has been celebrating with Lisa and her family!

Lady Erica Foaled...

Despite being scanned with one foal Lady Erica foaled twins this morning, the chestnut colt was dead, for the moment the filly is trying.  She is tiny, pictured here in the whippets rug, she can get up unaided but doesn't really have the strength at the moment to stand and drink.  So far she has been tubed twice and had fifteen minutes out in the sun while we straightened up their pen.  Such a shame for Erica who is a lovely mum to her foals.  Erica has looked poor for about two months now despite huge amounts of food, the colt foal looked perfect (perhaps a slightly domed head?) and was at least the same size as the filly so guess we know where the calories were going now.

While the foal was snoozing Mark had a spin round the local gallops and then Arrayan went out for a canter with Daffy... and the sun shone.  Lets see what tomorrow brings.

Chamfron Tizona - 22 Months old.

Another great update on Tizona from Christine and some photos showing her colour change from her winter coat in January and shedding out in April.  Christine said she'd grown in to her rawhide bridle and well, it would of been churlish not to have tried her saddle on too wouldn't it?  Needless to say Tizona wasn't at all bothered by it.

Petnanny Vans!

Last year I did some photography for Caroline Howlett, aka Petnanny and these are her vans now dashing around the streets of Pelton, Stanley and beyond!  

I will still be doing jobs like this but have decided to stop doing event photography for the time being.  All albums will be archived over the next few days and the chamfron photos website will vanish in a puff of smoke... just as soon as I work out how to do it!!
