I like Aspire Beach Bonfire that CC posted in her list of names.
Or Bonfire on the Beach if you want to turn it around!
But yeah, Sox on the Beach is a cracking name.

Ok the name is........
Sox on The Beach!
I saw Irish Milo's new horse, realised hes a chesnut with white socks with 'sand' in the stallions name and is looking for a name. I was about to suggest Sox on the Beach! But then thought nooooo I'd be gutted if that name got taken. Made me realise I definitely want to name Mylo that.
I did not seriousy consider it at first but I kept coming back to it as the cleverest, funniest and most apt name for him.
FInal decision is just whether I ditch the Aspire Prefix as that's a bit of a mouthful.
So welcome to your new name Sox On The Beach!

Farrier and vet coming tomorrow to fit a medial hoof extension Really hoping that works as the next step is a much more invasive knee staple type thing! Yikes.

ETA I am assured he will be fine one way or another in the end. But it's all very stressful

Knee staple sounds awful

Just for my own interest/learning is there a reason they aren’t considering cast?
What does a knee staple do? I’ve know foals have a small screw on one side to slow growth one way to allow growth and straightening on the other side - similar concept?

Sorry missed this question.
The staple was meant to stop one side growing. But in fact they have not done that. They have given Oxytet, a muscle relaxant, as tendons are contracted as he is growing too fast. So he is on tiptoes. Also regular trimming to take the heels down. And maybe a staple and or medial hoof extension later. No one has mentioned a cast. I can ask though.

Thank you. We are very pleased with her.

Ah mud, splendid
Oh wow, I would get nothing done if she were in my fields

That makes sense, didn’t realise he had contracted tendons, they will want those sorted before looking at the limb deviations

Her ladyship is now 5 months old. Where does time go?! Had to have a vet visit last week for a large jaw abscess .. I suspect she has been blackberrying

Thanks, Dab Dab. She's a real time-waster! I've taken a year off work so nice to have the time to spend with her.

Ok, weaning!?!
Thinking ahead as Kennie is still only 3m.
She is out with Amber and two other youngsters who are already weaned…
Do I try and soft wean? Is it horrendous? Does it prolong the stress or make it easier by ramping up the time apart? I’ve read for and against for both methods and watched the recent webinar from FEI. Does anyone has any positive or negative experiences of Soft Weaning?

I think it would be better to start a new thread on this. I would certainly be interested in any replies as am facing same issue. It might be a bit hidden away here on this thread on 2023 foals.

At just over 4 months old, Ana went on her first trip this week, to the Northern Ireland Horse Board foal show, stood to be plaited, loaded and travelled like a pro. Behaved really well there (loved to show off in front of an audience) and was placed third in the eventing class, delighted as more than 40 foals there
