Our Brave Dad and Grandad

Our news has taken a back seat recently, having no posts since late June due to the illness and very sad loss of our brave dad and grandad Jozef.

Before we continue with our pony posts, this one is quite rightly dedicated to a very brave man who endured and survived times in his life like, thankfully, most of us will never know.

If you read the obituary in the link below you will see why we are very proud of him as he himself is here, photographed at the Cenotaph.

2010 Foals

The foals are growing and changing, its lovely to see them playing together. Luna has lost her baby coat and gone darker, Harry’s legs have had a growing spurt, Faline continues to move beautifully around the field and Ted is just adorable little Ted!

They’re all more independant now and like to hang out with the yearlings!

Tilly the Yearling!

It’s hard to believe a year has gone by but Tilly is shaping up nicely, a lovely bright bay we hope to show her in some yearling classes soon - the trailer is on order, just awaiting conversion for shetlands.

Got a nice shot of Em when we brought her onto the lawn with her foal Faline!

Funny Harry

Lottie’s foal Harry is such a little character as captured here on his mum’s back with a bemused Luna looking on!

Lottie Foals

On Sunday 11th April at 10.45pm, Lottie gave birth to a lovely piebald colt. We were watching her closely as she was very waxed up all day. When she went in at 8pm she showed no other signs of foaling but at 10.30pm she was looking restless. We went out and her foal was soon born. He’s a very good sized, strong boy with a long fluffy coat - very cuddly! Here he is next morning.

Pony Lined Bird’s Nests!

When we’ve been grooming out the pony hair recently, the birds have done a great job of clearing it up to line their nests but this one couldn’t wait!

Just Lottie to Foal

As you can see, Lottie looks really rounded now so we hope she will foal soon!

Em’s Filly

Em had her foal today, a good sized filly who again caught us out. Having missed Poppy, I vowed not to let it happen but having watched her closely, the minute I came in she foaled. When I next checked her, Em was still down but the foal was up and about - more like a few days old than a new born! We love her long white socks!

Here are pics of her at 3/4 hours old.
