cant believe how much she's grown, and to think i was worried she was tiny when she was born, now i'm convinced she's going to be a giant !

she can now easily see over the door, but is still sleeping on the hay in the corner, only for her mom to cover her over with a blanket of hay :), hopeing the weather improves over the next few days as really want to turn them out 24/7, when does anyone else turn them out all day and night, they go out from 7am to 7-8pm at present depending on how much / heavy its raining.

She's looking fabulous! So cheeky! In terms of turnout, mine is 2 weeks & if weather good this week will prob go out full time at least while it'p nice! He's like an ox so not worried about him!! Think my mare will really appreciate extra grass time, they go out 8-5 at the moment.

They grow so quickly don't they?
My *little* filly, born 5th May, is a monster child now, she has to bend right down to feed from mum and is more enthusiastic about the hard feed than her mum too.
Foals double their birth weight in 3 months is that right? I think mine has put on about 30kg now :eek:

Shes gorgeous :)

Mine will be out 24/7 as of Sunday as they are moving to stud and will live out with another mare and foal. Paris will be a month old on Saturday. They have only been coming in whilst on my yard so that Paris can be handled all the time. At stud they catch them in once a day for grooming and handling/training anyway.
