Maesfen
Extremely Old Nag!
He's arrived at last and not the chestnut filly I was expecting but a bay colt with about four white hairs for a star and a sock the same side as his mum. Born in the field yesterday (25th) big, bay and bouncing. Touch wood they're both doing well. H Tobago has been sent homework so he can at least get the sex right next time; shockingly bad this year as those wanting fillies have had colts and vice versa; you'd think he'd get it right after all this time wouldn't you?! No action shots yet as all this man likes to do is eat and sleep but more will come, I promise, you'll be bored to tears of him.
Sparks was very interested in his young brother as you can see!
Exciting news on the Sparks (Maesfen Taboo) front too as he has been sold as a future stallion prospect so will be tarted up to show and do the Futurity all being well. Just what he deserves to do as well as keeping his manhood which he was in great danger of losing if he had stayed here; vet was booked in for the Saturday and he was bought at 11.30 on the Friday night (bless the internet! )
Anyway, meet Merlin aka Maesfen Magician (subject to AHS approval of course) He got his name because his dam is Witches Broom and Magician ran a blinder in the Irish 2000 Guineas the afternoon he was born; it just seemed appropriate. I was also given some famous magician names but the one that stood out was Merlin as that is also a small brown falcon (I like my coincidences and illogical logic even if you do find it hard to follow! )
