No shame indeed, but Morags youse has & everybody knows... If you've got 'em - flaunt 'em !!! Jen :D

OMG! She is the absolute spitting image of my wee one at that age! She loves to be scratched too... Jen :)

I read your last post & my heart went out to you, but I didn't reply because I didn't have any advice! I had an 'unexpected' foal a year ago & was really worried about how to integrate her into the herd - I needn't have worried as when she was 2 months old, the boys snuck through the electric...

Hello, I'm currently in the process of relocating from Hampshire up to a village called Oakley on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire borders, but am really struggling to find grazing for my 4 horses. They are all quiet, well behaved neddies and I have years of experience with looking after...

Thanks everyone - you've put my mind at ease... I think she'll be fine, but I'm painfully aware I know very little about breeding! She's such a super wee thing though - bold & kind at the same time and so far her manners have been faultless. If she's even half as good as her mum, I'll be a...

Hi Everyone, I was hoping you might be able to put my mind at ease... My maiden 16.1/2 ISH mare had a foal back in October to a Trakhener colt who stands at 16.2/3. The foal is now 7 months old and is currently standing at 13hh & is very 'bum high' again. I had the vet out today for 2nd...

Volatis - thank you, thats really helpful. I'm showing my ignorance here, but can you please tell me what TBF stands for?! Thank you! Jen :)

Hello, In my limited experience I would say your mare is probably in foal! I experienced a similar situation last year, except my mare was covered in November, so I had an October baby... I was initially gutted - really concerned about her training stopping, as I'd only just got her...

Hi, I am a first time 'accidental' breeder and could really do with some advice... I bought a beautiful grey ISH mare last year, who later turned out to be in foal to a colt by Hibiskus. She's nearly 6 months old now (I don't recommend foaling in October and then having one of he worst...

I've been wondering that too - its probably about 50/50 as its both mum & dad's first foal and dad is jet black (mum is obviously grey!) I guess I'm just waiting to see what happens - as much as I would like her to stay black, I'm just chuffed to bits that she's so healthy! Jen

I'm hoping this will work for pictures - I'd love to know what you (all) think! Baby Pictures Thank you for all your advice. Jen

Thanks Volatis... I'm hoping this will work for pictures - I'd love to know what you (all) think! Baby pictures

Hi Megan2006 I'm really not fussed about winning (well, that's not to say I wouldn't be chuffed...) but its definitely more about getting her 'out and about' - her mum is the most calm / relaxed / serene horse I've ever met & I want her to learn as much as she can from mum's reaction to all...

Thanks! Maybe I'll just take her along for a mooch and a wander around then - she seems very bold / calm like her mum & I really want to capitalise on that and make the most of mum's influence! If she's bored by flags/pa systems/other horses/tractors etc then my job will be easier when it...

Hello - I'm 'new' to breeding and wanted to ask some advice... I bought a lovely ISH mare in March, who got fatter and fatter this summer and then surprised me 2 weeks ago with a gorgeous, jet black filly foal! I've since tracked down the stallion in question - a young 'man' with Hibiskus...
