We took Rustle to the BEF today . Just really chuffed , he took it all in his stride , loaded both ends perfectly. Went into the arena for the evaluation and he just went off on his own without a care as to where his mum was. He came away with a gold premium , which considering he’s an IDx was very very good . He was 3 times the size of all the foals in height and bone and made me realise he really is going to be a chunk. So much love for this chunky monkey

That’s brilliant, well done! He looks absolutely stonking there- lovely neck and front and looks like he really moves

Thank you . He such a good lad . He got the lowest mark of all for his trot . He went bum high , after being level since he was born ? so they said he was a bit too upright . But canter and trot where grand .

My baby decided to grow the one and only week I could do her filming. She hasn’t bothered before or since ??
I do like futurity as an outing for them, it's nice and relaxed and I think it is great they can take confidence from their dam (not that it sounds like Rustle needed it!)

No photos but Daisy and Aspen joined the mare and foal herd this week. It's so nice to see them out with the others, although Daisy is making him keep his distance for now. Some of the other foals are desperate to introduce themselves, and I'm sure Daisy will let him join in soon enough. Daisy's not the most helpful, though, as she constantly niggles to get up the herd pecking order, but she's been through all this before with the same herd, so I'm sure it will all get worked out. They've got plenty of space.

Realised I hadn't updated since Enzo was at Rossdales! After that very touch and go first week of his life (plus a horrendous bill) Enzo has now reached 8 weeks old! He is honestly just the cutest thing, he was a bit wary of people at the beginning (I think because of the trauma of the first week) but is probably a bit too brave now!

Would love to do futurity but mum isn't the best loader in the world - thinks it's a great experience for them.

Can we have an update on everyone's foals, whilst they're still cute?!

Enya is doing really well- she's a proper little chunky thing and she has now almost lost her foal fluff so looking like a small horse for a brief period of time before the fugly yearling stage sets in.
We had some pro pics done last month that have just come throug-

This is how she actually looks now

Both looking amazing. Will try and get some updated photos of Rustle later. Im on 'ball watch' hoping they drop while hes still on his mum as want to get him done as soon as viable. Ones dropped just need number 2 to follow suit.

TM .. look at how she picks up her toes. what a cracker
Alibear .. im going to guess at chestnut but turning grey.

That's the general consensus but I have to register him this year and his show name would contain the word, Grey. But what if he doesn't grey out? Eeek.
