Our first Dales foal of the year was born on Wednesday - she is a whole black filly, full name Nipna Flora

I was at Uni so didn't see her foal, but it was a very quick and easy foaling - mum watches them on CCTV and checks them every hour - woke up for one check and a foal walked out from the shadows

She's a very strong filly, we are absolutely thrilled with her! We have another 4 foals due this year

This is the fourth time our senior stallion, Lowhouses Black Magic has served Flora's mum - Penny has now produced 4 fillies for us, she is our foundation mare and we're so pleased with the ponies she and Magic are producing!

Oh gorgeous!!! I can still remember seeing Magic at Royal Norfolk last year - WOW is all I can say, he is just divine and he's obviously producing the goods!! Looking forward to updates! How's Sonny? How's your Roany/grey youngster - ID X TB if I remember rightly....?
 
Thanks so much everyone

We are SOO proud of Magic, he just keeps on doing us proud, bless him! We're due 3 foals by him this year (including Flora) - the other 2 mares he hasn't been to before so it will be exciting to see what is produced! The other 2 mares are quite similar in type to Penny (Flora's Mum) though so hopefully they'll throw nice foals. We've also got 2 more foals by different stallions; one by our junior stallion, Colliery Magic (yes, it is very confusing having 2 Magic's around - they get called Big Magic and Little Magic

) and one by an outside stallion called Colliery Chance (we bought the mare in foal by him). That foal will be a full sister/brother to my yearling filly April, who is a cracker so hopefully that'll be another nice foal!

PLUS we have a very exciting new stallion to use this year; a grey Dales stallion called Dartdale Grey Bobbie II - he is mine to ride this season and is a complete gentleman! I can't wait for next year to see what his babies are like

Sonny is absolutely fine thankyou!! I took him hunting for the first time over Christmas, which he loved, he has been on Turbo ever since

Sorry I've been harping on for ages

OMG LS, what a fantastic foal and mum - I hope they are still doing really well. They are beauties. I bet you are soooo proud!

My oldie mare is 1/2 Dales - all I can say, is what a level, fantastic breed.

My one big regret is not having a foal from her - she would have been a fab mum and I would suspect have given a beautiful foal - but never mind - I still have her
