Pictures Here we go again…

.. buying a youngster unseen from Ireland.

I’m not sure why I do it because I really don’t have the nerve, but I have just purchased a little filly from Ireland and she will be on her way over hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

She is 3 years old and a bit of a Heinz 57. Breeding unrecorded, but supposedly Irish draught sire and cob/friesian dam. She is around 15.2/3 currently so hopefully make a nice size.

A total blank canvas, halter broken and lightly handled, but that’s about it.

Something about her just totally drew me in!

She vetted perfectly, the vet said she was so green bless her, but totally sweet and amenable.

She will be going to a fabulous youngstock livery until we get things more sorted at home.

Now the nervous wait begins!!

Meet Osha -

So glad you decided yes she is gorgeous

 

[Birker2020]

Aw lovely. What do you hope to do with her eventually?

Her name means 'shining' did you know? Hopefully she will be your shining star in years to come. How exciting.

 

[Errin Paddywack]

So glad to see she passed her vetting and you have bought her. Looking forward to seeing more of her.

 

[Trouper]

Goodness I would not have guessed that breeding from her pictures - apart, maybe, from her legs.

She looks lovely and how good to have a blank canvas to work from. Hope she has a good journey over.

Gorgeous colour!

She looks lovely so keeping everything crossed it works out

 

[dorsetladette]

Lovely!

With those shoulders (and knees) I think your going to have a nice substantial type - just my type!

 

[Red-1]

Well she looks rather special! With that be=reeding I think she'll be a winner at whatever you try. She looks fabulous!

 

[Lucky Snowball]

She looks really smart. What a great find. Looking forward to progress reports.

 

[Sealine]

Very nice! I can't wait to see how she looks in a couple of years. I think she'll be just my type.

 

[ImmyS]

Thank you guys. She will hopefully just make a nice family horse/allrounder but just looking forward to working with her on the ground and see what she seems to enjoy.

I hope she has a good journey too, especially after IrishMilos thread seeing what can happen on the journey! She will have a stop over in England before coming down to me so hopefully plenty of rest and food to keep her relaxed.

 

[catembi]

Well done! She looks lovely. And welcome to the ‘bought unseen from Ireland’ club. There are a few of us on here!

She looks gorgeous! Will be something quite special.

Which transporter did you use to travel her from Ireland to UK?

She is very striking, I can see the fresian in her especially the first photo.

 

[ImmyS]

Eeek she is officially on her way over. Really hope she has a smooth journey and not too stressful!

Totally hate this waiting for them to arrive part, find it totally tummy churning!

Very excited to actually meet her though! Fingers crossed she’s a goodun!

 

[Cloball]

That’s lovely to hear! Hopefully she turns out just as cool!!

 

[ImmyS]

Just has a phone call from the yard owner.

She arrived earlier than planned!

Apparently very very sweet, straight out in the field with no fuss.

The yard is a little way away so will be heading over to meet her Saturday, can’t wait!

 

[nagblagger]

I admire your discipline, i would have had to be there for the arrival. She looks lovely.

I know she was supposed to come in the evening, but she ended up arriving much earlier than planned and I have been at work! Itching to meet her, but equally she has had a long old journey so happy for her to relax in a field for a couple of days without too much fuss.

 

[tda]

I think she's going to end up a pretty substantial chunk when she matures

She certainly needs to grow into her frame! Looking forward to watching her mature and working with her.

 

[southerncomfort]

She's very pretty!
