Stud Reduction

Due to ongoing health issues, it has been with regret, that we are having to drastically reduce our stud to a more manageable level. We still have some Ponies for Sale.

With both Harry & Ben, having flown the nest and myself unable to show any more, its been quite a heart breaking decision. I will be keeping a couple of Ponies, as I couldn't bear to part with them all.

We have been so lucky that eight of our Ponies, have already found fabulous new homes.

Demetrius, Colossus,Dionysus & Draconius's New Home

Four of the boys have gone to live with Abby & Bex, twin sisters who are totally spoiling them. I've already seen a video, showing that Dionysus has made himself right at home, by wandering in the House and nicking carrots and apples from the Kitchen.

Dionysus Literally In His New Home

The Alpacas at Katie & Jazz's New Home

Katie & Jazz, have gone to live with Wendy & Adam and some Alpacas. The Alpacas were not sure of the Ponies, at first, but they've settled down now.

Evie In Her New Home

Evie, has gone to live with Marilyn and is going to be shown in hand, by her Grand Daughter at some local shows. Hopefully, I will get to see her.

Tiger Lily in her New Home

Tiger Lily has gone to live with our Friends Traci & Jon, at the Raci Stud, where I see her, every time we visit. Traci, is going to show Tigs, so again I'll hopefully see her in the Show Ring.

I must admit, that I've come home and shed a few tears over them all. But having seen where they've all gone and the updates that I get, I know they have all gone to fabulous new homes and are already much loved.

I wish all their new Families, many happy years together. 

Pictures & News..

Been pretty busy here over the last week.
Kai has gone off to a new home in Pembrokeshire, with the Thomas Family. They came to view him and ended up taking him home with them that evening. We wish them every success with him. They are going to stay in touch and I'm looking forward to seeing the Foals from their Mares next year.
Harry helped me get the Mares and Foals into the yard and give the Foals their Wormer, they were definitely not impressed, but it has to be done.
We've also opened up the Fields behind the House, so that the Girls are all mixing together again with the Mum's and Foals.
Today our Farrier Tomos came and did some of the Ponies. He only does a few at a time, as it's hard work on his back, bending nearly in half to do their Hooves.
Been taking lots of pictures of the Ponies. Here are a few of the best ones. If you click on them they will pop up bigger. As you can see the Foals are all doing really well and all play together now. It's lovely to watch them all, charging around the fields.
Enjoy.....

Pony Pictures

This is a very heavy photo post.
I took these pictures on 27th May 2011. The Foals are all doing really well.
Draconius, is the smallest of the three, but he loves a cuddle. Dionysus, is in your face, so much so, that he sticks his head right in front of the Camera, as you can see by the top picture.
Demetrius, is the more aloof one, he will only come up for a cuddle when he wants too.
Its really lovely to watch them all playing together in the field. They have a mad half hour and then crash out.
Enjoy the pictures, if you click on them they will pop up bigger...

He Has A Name...

After much debate, since this little one has been born. Harry has finally decided to call him Draconius, Draco for short.
If you click on the picture, it will pop up bigger..
I just clicked on the picture myself and clicked again to bring it up to full size, it would be a perfect screen saver picture. So if you'd like to use it as a screen saver on your own personnel computers, you are welcome to, but it is not to be used for commercial purposes.

Tiger Lily & Foal First Day Out Today..

Tiger Lily and her Foal, went out for the first time today. The Colt Foal is still awaiting a name. So amazing that he is only 24 hours old and how fast they zoom around... Enjoy xxxx

Now That Was A Nice Shock....

Now that was a shock, in the nicest possible way.
Tiger Lily has been bagged up for a few days and we've been expecting her to Foal at any time.
But having checked on her, in the Barn last night at 12.30, before we went to bed, she was busy munching away on the Hay.
So when we went down this morning to let the Ponies out, it was a shock to find this little one. Tiger Lily, had obviously given birth in the early hours of this morning, to a lovely Skewbald Coloured Colt, as yet he doesn't have a name.
I also spent some time up in the field today, with my Camera and managed to get some video footage of the Foals which I'm sharing on here. Two are in the posts below and I'm just waiting for the last one to load and I'll add it to this blog. There are three very short videos., which I must say have taken forever to load onto YouTube. Enjoy...xxxx
