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.
