Foal Monday

[Abi90]

Final verdict from farrier. He thinks he will straighten up on his own, he’s coming back Friday to review and he will have a little shoe for a week or so if he’s not straightened up enough but he thinks he will.

Farrier is also in love with Rosie

I love the foal spam. There cannot be too many pictures.

 

[Abi90]

Off to meet Percy tomorrow. I will take lots more photos!

Hopefully I should get some better shots so people can help me determine whether he’s staying bay or going grey. He’s still wet in most of the photos I have so hard to tell how dark is legs are

 

[Abi90]

So how many photos are acceptable? I have loads!! So he’s definitely Percy. He’s such a smart chap but not as big in real life as in the photos. He’s very friendly. He probably is going to have a shoe on his right hind just to help him straighten up a bit

I also think he’s staying grey. His legs are a grey/silver colour and hair a dark brown round his eyes

 

[Abi90]

And some videos

She looks adorable! I love her star, it looks like dinosaur of some sort!

There’s loads of photos missing where he looked good but I looked like a moose!

That’s what my daughter said . Rita nicknamed her puff ??

ETA .. she is adorable in every way . Even husband is besotted with her . She’s just so friendly and chatty

 

[Abi90]

I meant to say that I think he is staying bay but I think he will go darker. What do other people think?

I’ve settled on Percy. He looks like a Percy. Then I need to choose between Thyme for a Challenge and Challenge’s Perseverance for his registered name

I think he’s going to be grey . To be honest he’d look lovely any colour . I prefer Thyme for a challenge.

He’s either going to go grey or much darker bay I think. I’m hoping for the latter because I like having a mud coloured horse! Ah he’s so awesome. I think I’m prouder than his Mum, she’s so laissez faire about the whole thing

 

[Btomkins]

He’s a very ‘adult’ colour with little foal camouflage so I’d bet on grey. Beautiful.

 

[Abi90]

So it’s Monday! Some more from Saturday as I don’t have any new ones ?

I just love him!

He is an utter stunner! You must be so proud of him and mum too

Shes been amazing. She’s been textbook at everything, she’s not foal proud. She’s just lovely with him. He is awesome, totally awesome!

 

[Xmasha]

He really is beautiful. I haven’t had chance to get any photos today , so will post ones I took the other day . I’ve been bringing them in the morning to get them out of the heat and the flies , I was a bit late the other day so the ladies made their own way in ??


They actually waited quite patiently until I came out .
In the photo is grandma Asha , mum Aria and Amara .
One reason for being busy today was the vet came out to scan Aria .. excited to say he confirmed she scanned in foal to Archie again . So fingers crossed for the heartbeat scan . So hopefully have a full sister or brother for Amara . Idea being one for me and my daughter .
Vet commented he’d never seen such a chilled out foal … which is why we wanted another . If all goes well this should be our last and Aria can come back into work and go back out competing

Very exciting! I love them bringing themselves in! haha. My new favourite hobby is looking at photos of him.

I might have an Archie foal from Rosie once Percy starts in work. We should have our own place with some land by then so much easier

 

[Jeni the dragon]

He really is stunning! Love the photo of him with you crouched down in the stable!
@Asha Amara is soo pretty too! Definitely doesn't look like a dinosaur!

 

[Xmasha]

I know it’s not Monday .. but I got another half decent photo of Amara today . She’s proper bold as brass . Didn’t give a monkeys about the trailer as she’s learnt pretty quickly that it means food . That must be the Irish Draught on her .
How’s Percy doing Abi90 ? Has the shoe helped ?

 

[Abi90]

Oh she looks fab!! I haven’t had any photos of Percy since Saturday when I went up as the stud had 4 foals arrive in two days so have been pretty busy. He’s had a shoe on to straighten him out but farrier had to come back with a slightly bigger shoe for his not so little feet!

 

[Abi90]

Some different photos of him! I’m running out! I can’t get over how handsome he is, I know I’m biased but I’m so pleased

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I love his ears so much!

 

[Abi90]

So it’s Monday. I don’t have any new photos as yet! Sorry! But I’ve found some older, not yet used ones yet, can’t believe he is 2 weeks old already today!

His little shoe was doing a grand job of straightening him out. Then he decided to take it off. It’s going back on today

 

[Annagain]

I'd love to see a photo of his little shoe if you get a chance. I imagine it's the cutest thing going!

I’ll ask for one. Although here is the big standard internet version! It’s a bit like an insole, the farrier can trim it to make them stand flat

it’s like this but rubber

 

[Xmasha]

Sorry I’m late .. Ive tried getting a video but the little monkey won’t do anything while I’m around . So will try and hide next week and get something a bit more entertaining.
She now leads and picks her feet up . Loves attention and is the most cuddly foal I’ve ever had

[babymare]

Oh Asha. She is just beautiful. Cheeky face but beautiful. X

 

[Xmasha]

Oh Asha. She is just beautiful. Cheeky face but beautiful. X

Thank you babymare. She has a great laid back attitude, but does love climbing on top of the pile of top soil we’ve left in the field . Mum and grandma stand at the bottom and watch her. No doubt begging her to come down ?

 

[Abi90]

Okay so very late but the photos have just come through. 2.5 weeks old and looking totally different. He’s gone a lot paler and I don’t think he looks like a grey candidate anymore.

His legs are a lot straighter too
