Beautiful beasts, Janine. Bo is especially grateful for the pheasant photo.

But I've got to admit - I saw the thread title, and thought it may have been the working title for:

Kim and I chose Luis, because we both thought Loulou would have a colt. PRE naming protocol is that male names end in 'o', females in 'a', though. The foal can be registered as partbred because the stallion is an andalusian with rating from the Spanish studbook. So I expect the owner will want a name to reflect the convention. I'm going to have to think of some spanish sounding names ending in 'a'. (PRE stands for pura raza espanola).

That looks like a lot of fun. I am one of those weird people who thinks that pretty much any animal-related chore is enjoyable... even cage cleaning. I am hoping to start taking some riding lessons next year. We shall see.

Thanks Jen, I'll present those suggestions to the owner. His 6 expected foals will probably all be sold this year, so I'll be making the most of the time I have with them.
Coconuts, my other friend's pony, is also in foal to the same stallion and due any day, but her foal will be a keeper She's now bagged up with some waxing so I'm expecting an incoherent 'phone call at any time.

Riding lessons around here are so expensive that having friends with their own ponies, especially with them both being prepared to start me off right from the basics, is an incredible stroke of luck. The contrast to where I live (urban jungle) and work (NHS coalface) with spending time in Cathy's field or the stables where Kim works makes pulling ragwort or clearing poop like a breath of fresh air. (Horse poop is much less distressing to clear up than human poop!).
