Hericus Arcemedes Update

Do you remember this little chap, Hericus Arcemedes better known as Archie?.
Well today Carol the lady that brought him sent me a couple of photographs of him.
Carol said that he is spoilt to distraction, Loves attention and a mint.
Hasn't he grown into a handsome pony. I'm so pleased that he went to such a lovely home.
Thanks for the Pictures Carol.. xx

Archie's New Home

Just got back from dropping Archie at his new home. He was really good in the trailer and when we got there, he walked lovely up the Lane to the stables. I'm over the Moon that he's gone to such a lovely home. (Remember this is the first Pony I've ever sold & I Love him to bits).
He's got two little friends in the stable next door Monty & Gizmo, but their not quite as friendly as Archie.
Carol showed me the beautiful Name plates , that she's had made for their stable doors. Black slate with each of their names engraved on them. I have a feeling that their all going to be thoroughly spoilt.
Hopefully we will see Archie at the shows next year.
I wish Carol & Tony every success with him.

Archie

Archie is off to his new home with Carol & Tony today. Just getting everything ready now, we are taking him over. I'll give you an update later.

Foals In The Garden...

Let the Foals out into the little paddock for a good run about. Also opened the gate into the garden, so they can wander at their leisure. Took these piccies today. Their all getting their thick winter coats. Aphrodite looks like she has a beard.

The Foals..

Heard a chomping noise coming from the Foals stable this evening, and went over to investigate. What did I spy?. Archie and Aphrodite giving each other a really good groom.

New Friends For Archie...

Carol & Tony rang on Thursday, to arrange to come over and see Archie today.
They went to the local Horse Sale just to have a look at the Ponies, famous last words! That's why I'm not allowed to go. They want to get a friend for Archie. They ended up bidding on two Colt Foals and getting the winning bids. They are roughly the same age as Archie. One is called Monty and the other Gizmo. Carol sent me some pictures yesterday, so I can share them with you. I hope I've got this right Monty is the Chestnut & Gizmo is the Skewbald. So pleased that Archie will have two little friends to grow up with.

Sunshine Means Hay...

Tomos the Blacksmith came yesterday and did the Foals for me. Little Aphrodite was so good just stood there. I thought Archie was going to cry, bless him, his little bottom lip was wobbling and Apollo, well he laid on the floor of the Stable and played dead. They all eventually settled down and they now have beautifully trimmed hoofs.
Mark came yesterday and turned the Hay and has been back and turned again this morning, looks like we are going to get Hay after all.
Groomed all the foals this morning and they already have really thick coats. Also took some pictures of them in the Stable... Archie made me laugh peeking over their little Stable door..

Archie...

Took these pictures on the 13Th September, of Archie, snoozing in the Sunshine and have been meaning to put them on the blog. This evening had a phone call from Carol & Tony who have brought Archie, asking how he's doing. Sounds like this little boy, is going to be thoroughly spoilt. I'm so glad that he's going to a lovely home.
Carol if your reading this I hope your soon be feeling better.

Archie....

My beautiful boy Archie has a new family.. He will be going to his new home in Pembrokeshire, once he is weaned. I wish Carol & Tony every success with him. Hopefully, I will see him in the show ring next year strutting his stuff.

Hericus Arcemedes AKA Archie

Look How We've Grown...

Been busy outside today, picking up pooh in the paddocks and pulling more bloody Ragwort.
The Foals are really changing, Apollo's patches are turning from Black to Grey! Aphrodite has also got patches of Grey in her coat, which was Cream Dun & White, the only one who's stayed the same colour is Arcemedes. Took some pictures this afternoon, the Foals all crashed out together in the field. They don't stray very far from each other.

Foals...

Tried to get some decent pictures of the Foals today. They are changing every day. Little Archie wasn't having none of it, just stayed laying down having a snooze in the barn.

Bank Holiday Monday..

Harry and I have had, such a laugh today out in the paddock with the foals. Managed to get loads of pictures and video clips. Apollo has a new trick, if you sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you, he paws you until you open your legs and then comes in for cuddle and lays down between your legs. It's so funny to watch. All the foals are starting to play with each other as well. Will try and upload some video later.
