Spring at last & a new arrival!



The first of two foals due this year has landed safely.

So introducing to you Clorin's purebred filly foal. She is by the RID stallion Sir Rivie, and was born on the 11th March at 2.30 in the morning. We watched the whole event on the foaling camera from the comfort of our bed without disturbing the mare. (that's our excuse!)

No name yet, but this always takes some time.

We are not due to start lambing for another fortnight, but another sign of spring is that the hens are now laying like mad, so we are baking and making lemon curd and doing all the things we can think of that involve egg consumption.

  1. The foal is beautiful. Names can take a while. Come to think of it so is the lamb. How many lamb names do you have to come up with?

  2. Thanks for the comment. We would hope to need at least 100 lambs names!
