foals in the sun

I live over the road from a livery stables and have seen one or two born-- or just after-- such beautiful animals and--- the one you specially liked--- so proud-- almost 'watch me-- I'm going places!--

No 5 i guess is newborn, sheer magic, thanks Lulu

What a lovely blog Lulu it sure brings back loads of memories of owning my own horses, and working on 2 Arab Studs in my younger days and seeing many foals born. Lovely pictures ......

Lovely photos Lulu.....

Stripes which stud did you work at?

If you like and are interested in horses, I recommend you watch Martin Clunes Horsepower. He was on TV a couple of nights ago. ITV I think.

Thanks for that Heron, I did see Martin Clunes last night on TV and thought it the most amazing programme. I am a bit scared of these thorough breds but remember the time when I wasn't!!

i missed it, but its on again sunday 9 pm. will def b watching. i allso owned my own horse who i bred and deliverd on a very sunie morn in aprill 4 30 am . hence her name is sunshine . i have delivered 8 of my own foals. it is the most fantastic thing ever. bin a horse lover my whole life.we alls have loads of stables near us . love the pics ,bring back lots of memeries . thankyou 4 showing us ;0))))))) <3

Here's an 'ode' to 'Sunshine'

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away"

Looking forward to meeting her again.

Beautiful photos so you managed to find them I love that one too of the foal same as you, 5th photo down had that one just been born its a beautiful picture.

Thanks Sixpence, these aren't the best!!!

Well they look brill to me Lulu.:o))

Ta very much!!

:o))

Heron the weathers awful here and your song has made me smile... and looking at the babies as well....

Lovely blog Lulu ... thank you for showing us these photos. We used to have several studs in our village but they've closed now. These babies are so gorgeous ... & their mums too.

Thanks Fluff, we are so blessed to live here, it really is a wee bit of paradise. Dogs, horses and nature all around, oh and I mustn't forget our feral cat, Millie The Devil Cat! And come January the monitor will be on in our bedroom for four months while we watch next seasons mares getting ready to foal.

thats brill lulu can i come , thanks heron i love it. bet pennys looking 4 ward to it ;0)))

Cheshire is not too far away is it.....will have to tell my OH that we have known each other for years!!!!! He is very wary about sites like these, it would be fun though wouldn't it as a new born foal is a sight to behold. OH had foaled over 2,000 babies and I have only seen about 20, it's still amazing though and it's the only time I am not frightened of them!! Trouble is, knowing the night they will actually give birth! We both have red rimmed eyes from jan to April and goodness help any mare who wants to foal during Cheltenham, especially if we have a runner!!!

you are sooo lucky there are people give anything to b where you are .............
enjoy hun x

I do Cristina, I do!

Ooooh ... pics of the Devil cat??!! ;o))

thats gud lulu , ;0 )))

Ha ha ... Lulu's words! My devil cat is sat on my lap making me type with one finger! Not easy for capitals & punctuation!!

Pics of devil cat to follow, when the sky is blue,it's 9.3.0 and I am busy the next few days. but Slug pup thinks it's great to go out and steal ferel cat food, naughty puppy!!!

No ... smart puppy!! Lol!!

Aw ... poor feral cat ... ok ... baaaaad pup! ;O)

Garrya

how lucky are you - the very nicest sort of envy here =)) i was lucky enough to see my mare foal - many many years ago now but it has stayed with me always - a truly lovely things - thank you for sharing these =))

I think my money is on third one down too!!

Lovely photos Lulu, I`m a little scared of horses but I do think they are beautiful animals. :o)

Lulu, would be interested to know if the third horse down is a Silver Patriarch mare..she is the same sort of flea bitten grey as he is!

You have some gorgeous horses, Lulu.... I love them all!

Tetrarch, 3rd mare down is Miracle, sired by Ezzoud, and she is the mummy of Kaachit!!

Ahh so the grey comes down from The Tetrarch via Grey Sovereign..he sired some brilliant daughters...

If you like Tetrarch I can send you one of our stud books! x

That would be wonderful Lulu, tho my riding days are long gone, I still love to dream! Went to Newmarket a while back to Luca Cumani's yard and met Frankie Dettori and also to Cheveley Park Stud a year later. I went to see Starcraft, the Aussie G1 winner on both occasions. He is tail female to a son of The Tetrarch.

Aha! I wondered why your avatar name was Tetrarch!! Will post stud book tomorrow. We live very close to each other as I am 10 mins off J18 of the M4!!
