This used to happen on FB. Someone would put something alluding to an event that had happened or a tiff that had taken place but wouldn't say what it was about. Very frustrating.

Ok so Amber has been a nightmare to get in foal which is a shame as she’s a fab mum.
I was advised to try again this year not wait a year because it would make it more likely. For those following the foals thread - I wanted a smaller/finer baby Amber but she never took with the stallions I chose so vet used his RID - hence Felix! Ie bigger and chunkier ?. The idea being She would then take more easily next time once she’s had a foal.
But this year she’s been tricky again and then scanned in foal to twins…. If she hangs onto one I’m bringing home a tadpole at the weekend. If she doesn’t I’m bringing home a youngster who I’ve already picked out. (seller fully aware of the situation) I don’t know which it’s going to be…. I’ll post a pic!
Felix is going to youngstock livery for 3 years. At that point I’ll decide which horse suits me best in terms of temperament, athleticism etc: Felix, tadpole or mystery youngster.

Hope all goes well with the scan . It can be such a frustrating/ disappointment/costly process when things don’t go to plan Been there with the bills in previous years too . Will keep everything crossed for you
Which stallion did you use this time ?
you may as well just buy the youngster anyway , you know you want to . Plus if you have 3 babies you won’t need Youngstock livery . Saving you £££ in the long run ?

HAHA it's very tempting. Lovely youngster owned by a friend who bought him direct from the breeder for herself to event. But health problems have got in the way for her so he will be for sale immininently. She is just waiting to see what I do first
But I would prefer an Amber Tadpole if I had to choose. The stallion is this handsome chap:

Amber sounds like she is super fussy then as he’s lovely! Or maybe she likes the beefier type?! Have you posted about felix on the breeding page as I love a foal update ?

Amber has been well up for the 'fun' part of the breeding process!! But she is less good at the 'fertilising the egg' part. Until she decided to fertislise 2 at once. Typically contrary as ever.

Felix has been at stud with her. From there he is going to youngstock livery - initially with her and then will be weaned around Christmas, or when she seems to be getting sick of him! I'll get new pics soon x

I suspected scan results - how exciting. Legrande is Bon's sire as you know and I can vouch for temperament on my study of one! Also natural piaffe and changes but thats a whole other story ?

I posted the Felix pics and updates on the 2022 Foals thread.I have since discovered that if you post pics from social media they are only visible for a while - then they vanish. But I posted some from my phone on post number 419.

Best outcome - you think Amber hasn't hung on to a tadpole, so bring the youngster home, and then Amber reveals that she had a tadpole all along!

First in que if Felix isn't the chosen one in a few years time. ?
Fingers crossed Amber is holding on.
