Hi everyone!

I am Laura, Winter's owner from Rollestone.....I know there are a few of you on here who follow the foalies at the yard and I came on here a couple of times and posted when Winter was due. Since then I have dropped in and out and read a lot of the more interesting posts, but I have had exams so refrained from posting myself as I have already realised how addictive this forum is- it has proved to be an excellent procrastination tool even just reading! Anyway, halfway through exams now and giving myself a bit of a break this evening so thought I would come on and say hi properly and I hope I can drop in on you all for advice from time to time...I always think its great to get different opinions on various problems and you all seem so helpful!

So I will tell you a bit about myself and my neds.... some of you already have seen Winter on the foal cam. She is a 15hh Arab mare who I have had for about 5 years now and I have given her a year off to have her filly. Leilah was born on 10th April and she is by Rollestone Inde-Cent, a Polish warmblood and is absolutely gorgeous. After I have posted this I will get my tech cap on and post some piccies! I also have a 16hh TB/ID x Connemara 6yo gelding who I have had for two and a half weeks now and I love him to bits already, he is the sweetest most genuine horse you could wish to meet!

And not forgetting two dogs as well, a 7 yo Samoyed called Troy and a 4 and a half month old JRT x Border Terrier called Dexter who you might have spotted on the yard cam...

Anyway, looking forward to talking to you all more on here from now on and I will post some piccies in a bit...I love looking at all your pictures of your horses by the way, they are the first ones I click on so I thought you might like to see mine

This is Leilah at 5 and a half weeks- living out with mum and the other mares and foals now. One of the friendliest in the field, always comes over to greet me and very playful!

And this is my new gelding, The Apprentice- stable name Oliver. I dont really have any other pics of him yet as I have been so busy since I got him but hopefully I will find an excuse to post some when I have started to get him working!

Almost forgot the dogs- for anyone who has seen them on the cam dashing around the yard, Troy eating poo (or worse!) and Dexter chasing the chickens

This is what they look like in real life...

Awww thanks guys....I love Leilah too but its very hard to be objective when its your own so I am glad you like her

Winter was fab in her prime- she is not old now but doesn't really do what I want riding wise but I wouldnt ever sell her as she is such a sweetie, so semi-retired and not looking quite so glam with what I call her 'field look'!!!

Well, Leilah is possibly for sale although I wasn't sure if I was allowed to say that on here?! Oh well, done it now...

And if you had said you wanted Dexter this morning after the little b****r chewed up yet another sock I would have gladly given him to you! He has managed to redeem himself this afternoon though but I will bear that in mind next time
