Eek, I’m OMG and excited!!

[RHM]

Sod the bathroom this is way more exciting!! Can’t wait to see them!

 

[ihatework]

I was holding off on details until vetting done and money paid. Didn’t want to jinx anything!!

Now that’s complete - both yearlings

Millie - TB x KWPN out of a 4* Dam



And Turnip (.... it’s still growing on me!!) who is LePrince des Bois x Ramiro B.



I’m picking them up (from opposite directions if the country!!) on Saturday so will hopefully get some photos of them together then.

Millie is definitely in fugly yearling stage when seen side on! Turnip is doing well on not being in fugly stage at moment

 

[PapaverFollis]

Gorgeous! Congratulations! I love the name Turnip. Especially for a big posh horse.

 

[Annagain]

Oh my, they are both absolutely beautiful. Turnip is a great name! She is stunning.

 

[Green Bean]

Lucky you!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

OMG how did I miss this last week! They are gorgeous. What an exciting journey you are at the start of. x

 

[ycbm]

what a lovely pair! I like the name Turnip too, I would definitely keep that.

Congratulations!

[Bernster]

Turnip ? neither are fugly they are both gorgeous!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

They are both lovely! Can't wait to follow their journeys!

 

[Nicnac]

Lovely girls! Turnip is a great name - I know a Parsnip and he's lovely. Also Prince des Bois is an all time favourite of mine. Exciting times

 

[Tiddlypom]

Lovely youngsters, and even I have heard of Ramiro B and Leprince des bois .

The former owner of the mare in my avatar looks after Leprince. She clearly adores him, he is a big favourite with a fabulous temperament.

She must be local to me then because he stands 5 mins up the road from me.

It’ll be interesting to see how his offspring turn out. He was quite clearly an amazing athlete himself. You don’t complete that many 5*’s and still stay sound enough (and well behaved enough) to go win a junior title. Incredible. ? he passes it down to offspring, but then that’s not a given yet! Anyway, I couldn’t turn her down and Turnip is much better than a bathroom ?

 

[tristar]

i once knew a french donkey called `` carrotte``

good luck with them

 

[DabDab]

Ooo, I love Millie

And Turnip ?, well I mean how could you not buy her with a name like that. Please say that is also her registered name...? ?

 

[Tiddlypom]

Maybe you’ll have seen her hacking him out? I’ve seen a pic of him accompanying kids on ponies and a mum on a bike out on the roads - fabulous temperament.

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Oh they are absolutely gorgeous!

I love Turnip, bless her that is the most ridiculous and fabulous name ? Especially for such a classy girl.

Millie is gorgeous too. She has such a lovely, engaged expression.

Looking forward to hearing how they settle in and what they think of each other.

 

[Goldenstar]

Very nice indeed.
Now that’s sorted you have another mission .

 

[NightStock]

They are both lovely, congratulations. It's a good idea getting two as they always have someone to 'play with'.

 

[lannerch]

Wow Ihw love them both , how exciting can’t wait to follow them growing . If turnip was a cheeky offer he looks a real bargain Congratulations For both , both look very handy .

 

[fiwen30]

Beautiful! But that gorgeous horse is way to pretty to be a Turnip!

 

[ycbm]

Found Turnip's video .. lovely movement, beautiful metallic coat, and where does she get that Araby flagging tail from?
.

 

[ihatework]

She is just normal bay and the tail is not unusual if you drag them away from their mates and chase them around a bit!

She is a really sweet filly, the breeder has a few nice ones though most sell before they get under saddle

Just the long wait until they can be backed now, but what a pair to look forward to. No wonder you're excited

Both pretty stunning, I love Millie's facial expression and eye, she will be a cracker. Looking forward to following their progress.

 

[Lois Lame]

I’ve just had the most surreal shopping experience of my life!!

Been looking for a young event filly and had a couple of weeks off work touring the countryside.

Well I met some lovely like minded people and saw some beautiful youngstock.

The last one I saw ticked every single box, she is a beautiful blood filly out of a really successful event dam, and it looks like she is mine ???

But there was one other that played on my mind. Lovely filly, like the bloodlines but the dam was unproven. I put in a cheeky offer which has been accepted so it now looks as though I have 2 mouths to feed and 8 legs to keep sound.

I’ve also had to forfeit my new bathroom ???

I can’t wait for the girls to arrive chez IHW soon!

Who wants a new bathroom anyway?
Doh! WandaMare beat me to it.

 

[emilylou]

Both gorgeous and exciting prospects! Absolutely love Turnip!

 

[ihatework]

Very nice indeed.
Now that’s sorted you have another mission .

I’ll do my best but it’s difficult at the moment as there is a lot of dross being shifted at silly money. Nothing local has come up on the grapevine

 

[Buster2020]

Congrats they are pretty are they both filly’s

 

[Squeak]

Both look and sound lovely. Can't wait to follow your journey with them and I love the name Turnip too.
