I know what you mean about youngsters, I find them so rewarding. They always make me smile
I was team turnip .. but Millie is looking more and more stunning . Hard to choose !

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Lovely pair IHW. Millie is going to have the most stunning head when her jowls have developed , isn't she?

 

[Jeni the dragon]

They are both looking great!

I'm definitely team Millie - she's scrumptious.
Are they just the two of them out in the field now or are they with a herd?

They have always been out in a group.
There are 3 x 2yos, 3 x yearlings and they also had a broodie in with them for a bit, but she is away at stud now

So where is the time going????

Not too long until my girls are 3yos and then things get more exciting.

I love them both, I’m so lucky!

Poor little Turnip really drew the short straw. She kept pulling the surgical shoe and plate off her split foot so she ended up in lockdown this summer ?
5 months in the barn, not what anyone wants for a 2yo. But needs must. She was a complete and utter legend and didn’t object, misbehave or anything. I took the opportunity to very lightly back her (essentially tacking up, sitting on and leading around the barn), this was accomplished in a week with a ‘not bovvered’ attitude. Super cool mare.

She is now back out on winter grazing and very happy. She will go out on my magic hill next summer (given she missed out this year), get backed in the autumn and then I will look to find an event partnership for her.



Millie Moo is my
She has been out on the magic hill all summer and it’s done her the world of good. She is a big girl though and will need time.

Her plan is a date with a repro vet early next year and hopefully a Diarado baby cooking while she continues to grow. Will mean she won’t really start any proper work until 5 which given her size & potential will be the right thing for her.

they are both lovely IHW but Millie, wow!

 

[Goldenstar]

Great update
Onwards and upwards .

 

[HanniRT]

Just caught up on this thread as the snow settles outside. I don't generally get 'smitten' with other peoples horses, but these two are just lovely!

 

[TheMule]

I may be switching allegiances ?
Millie is looking cracking!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

They both look great! It's really lovely following this thread and seeing how much they have changed!

 

[Pinkvboots]

I must admit Millie was my favourite from the off it was her face mainly like when you get that feeling when you can look beyond the awkwardness and odd bits but something about them just gets to you.

I think she looks absolutely great now infact they both do, I will look forward to hearing about them.

 

[lannerch]

Love them both ihatework, always have done but must admit Millie has taken pumpkin over on the absolutely stunning stakes she’s moth definitely a swan . How exciting

 

[ihatework]

Where has the time gone?!
The girls are now 3 and the exciting stuff starts ….

Millie has some news to share, she is carrying a baby Diarado.

She had her heartbeat scan yesterday and came home today, and proceeded to show off big style. God I adore this mare.

 

[fidleyspromise]

Congratulations with new baby cooking
Both mares are lovely looking

 

[HashRouge]

She's so beautiful IHW!

I used to work with a smashing colt by Emerald when I was doing my couple of years as an SJ groom and she looks so much like him! Same face and build, she's his double!!

 

[Jayzee]

How exciting!!

My gosh she is stunning!! she is going to be very special!

How's Turnip?

How's Turnip?

Turnip is short, fat and less athletic but very sweet.

Did some early backing work a few weeks back and is now turfed out until later in the summer when I’ll back her properly.

The bestest thing ever happened today.

I had my first sit on Princess Millie ?

I might want to consider tightening my chinstrap mind, to be sitting on 6 week broke 3yos ?

Dont worry, I’ve already slapped my own wrist.
