Foals Update: Apple
It’s hard to believe that the 4 oldest foals will be weaned soon. Apple will be the first to go to her new home on 13th October. Here is her latest pic:

Scotty’s not much bigger than the Steiff pony!

Scotty loves running across the lawn…

Then he got sleepy

Scotty and Poppy


Poppy got confused and thought she had two babies - she reacted exactly the same to the Steiff pony as she did to Scotty. So we decided to take it away in case she rejected Scotty!

At 1.20am Poppy gave birth to a bay and white colt. Absolutely tiny but totally gorgeous!
Here are the pics when he is only hours old, again, as with her last foal Bambi, Poppy is super protective.

As we put Pops in for the night, we stayed with her a while to see if we could see the foal move. Boredom set in and we started asking the foal questions! [yes this waiting is starting to get to us!] To our amazement the foal responded quite often with a kick. It wants to be called Brother Scott (it kicked a few times when we mentioned that name - lol) and it will be born on a Tuesday afternoon! It also thinks Pip should get another Louis Vuitton bag much to her mothers dismay.
Brother Scott is a name we like as it was my favourite horse, with an amazing temperament [ridden by Michael Whitaker] and the name also relates to One Tree Hill (American TV show - guess whose favourite that is?!).
Lets see if this prediction has any value!

At the weekend we introduced the foals to headcollars. Apple was the most receptive - we put the headcollar on her and she didn’t bat an eyelid, just carried on eating grass! The others were less sure though they were quite happy to chew them!
