Spent yesterday at the stables, again ground too slippery for my riding lesson, the weather was changing from rain and sleet to sunshine, back to hailstones! The three mares due now are delaying their delivery because of the weather, but little Loulou is starting to bag up at last, with just a hint of waxing so the good news should be any day now. Spotted a cock pheasant strutting his stuff in the stallion's paddock
Then I went to visit Coconuts and Joe. Joe was full of spring fever, Nuts is so heavy with foal she looks uncomfortable now. She's not bagging up yet at all.
I really like that picture of the first stallion - Andulsian? I'm use to stallions that didn't have to be tied, although I'll admit there were a couple that I wouldn't trust without tying them up. I love those mild mannered gentleman.
Those ladies are waiting for a major storm to come through... then they will pop. It's in the Horsie Manual I hope to spend a little bit of time with mine tomorrow, but it'll depend on the weather. We've had so much rain that there is standing water in his lean-to
I'm so looking forward to the foals at the stables! I'm to be official photographer for their sales pictures, because I'm starting to get good portraits. I'm working a lot on getting the mares used to me, in preparation.
Nuts' foal won't be sold, but will live with her forever, so I'll be involved in it's life right from the start, in handling it from birth, backing it in a few year's time
Yep, Ginger, both the stallions are adalusians. They're only 3 and 4 years old, so still babyish in their ways. Which as you know is a bit risky when they don't know their own strength! I only go in their paddocks when the owner is there, they have total respect for him and behave nicely when he tells them to. I usually limit my contact to giving them kisses over the fence! The older, lighter coloured stallion is quite nippy, but I insist he behaves or I won't stroke him until he is being nice
Not to dis your horse pics but thank you for that gorgeous pheasant picture. Where (and when) I grew up they were common. We called them ringnecks. I haven't seen one or heard that noise for 30 years.
