Foal and 2yo pictures

[volatis]

Very pleased with how my youngest foal is developing - Czar - Trakehner by Herzensdieb x Tycoon x Consul. Now a week and a half old so grabbed a few photos of him, which is hard when he kept hiding behind mum or walking towards the camera







and Delta (Damsey x Stanhopes Dueka x Handsome Sailor xx) who is in the adjoining field


and my 2yo Trakehner gelding who is in for a bit of smartening up before his showing season starts. Valiant is by Ivernel x H.G.Solomon x Consul





and yet another Trakehner, 2yo filly Casiphia (Tycoon x Achtermann x Guter Stern)

Beautiful - as always, your horses are all stunning, a great credit to you.

Thank you Nijinksy, thats a lovely thing to say.

 

[Meg2]

I agree with Nijinksy, your youngstock are always impressive!

Lovely animals, you obviously know what blood & breeding you want. They are lovely quality animals and i'm sure you are over the moon with them 'i would be'

All the best with them

Lovely and so content looking. Beautiful foals. What classes do they show in? Or Valiant anyway? (I know nothing about showing!).

 

[MillionDollar]

Ditto Nijinsky, they are stunning

Love the bay foal.......WOW!

Very nice, I reckon that two year old will sweep the board..it's fabulous.

Lovely, lovely horses

Thank you everyone, those are lovely comments. I admit I do love all my foals, but its lovely that other people like them too, and that I'm not being 'barn blind'

Clodagh - Valiant was bred for dressage but he has lovely sweeping movement without too much knee action, is quite small and incredibly pretty, so we're going to show him in hack breeding classes. He's off to the Northern Horse Show and The Royal. I am sure he'll look like a skinny weed next to the often fat youngstock you normally see in the show ring, and his brand is bound to count against him - but I hope the judges will still appreciate his quality.

They are stunning I especially like the chestnut mare she is beautiful

 

[Peasfriend]

They look fab - and hasn't Casi matured? She looks beautiful. Now, normally I'd be saying it's such a shame that Delta and Valient are for sale, but I'm sure my husband can be persuaded that a splodgy filly by Damsey would be the perfect addition to the herd

(not that he knows who Damsey is....!!!!).

 

[volatis]

I keep saying its a shame those two are for sale too. It's so hard having to make that decision but cant keep them all sadly.

Valient is looking really well! He's really matured since last season.
