Long time no post.
After a bit of a rubbish time last year, including a major change in my personal life and having to cancel the delivery of my dream filly a day before she was due to arrive I really lost my excitement around horses.
I still had my best boy Ben, but even with him I was only doing the basics and not getting the joy I once felt. I think we all feel like this at various times, it’s inevitable, but I’m glad to say the bug is well and truly back! Ben is going great and I have the overwhelming urge for another baby project ?
So...meet Bonnie, a very sweet 3yr old filly who will be arriving this weekend.
She is by the lovely coloured warmblood stallion Solaris Buenno, out of a TBx Mare, to make approx 15.2hh. Normally I don’t do mares or coloured horses especially with large amounts of white, but for some reason I’m smitten. She has the kindest, prettiest little head and is very sweet.
Not entirely sure what the plan is for the future with her, but for now it’s to let her grow up a bit and continue with her already very polite ground manners. I’m hoping for her to become a nice low level allrounder or fun riding club type that can do a bit of everything. Pic as a yearling at her grading below, she gained a Higher First Premium.
Her colour genetics really interest me as I’m a novice colour nerd. I think she’s tobiano, and quite possibly homozygous (the roan patch and cat spots that aren’t very apparent in this pic are apparently signs?). I will more than likely have her tested to know for sure what’s going on.
I’m sure Ben will be less than impressed at having to share attention, but I think he’ll come round to his new girlfriend ?
Lots of photos and updates to come hopefully
