I've just had Sasha back home so I can wean the colt now known as Toby (long story, don't ask!) later then she will return to her new owner while he stays here - for the time being at least! He's by Ambrey Chester, is a smidgeon under 12 hands now at four months old (Sasha is 14.1!) so I think he'll be a bit bigger than her. She is in foal again to the owner's own coloured stallion so I'm going to be weaning him in the next couple of weeks so she can get back her weight; he's taken a lot out of her in spite of top class nosh and plenty of it; it's just the way she always is when she's feeding a foal but it hasn't stopped us trying everything to get her to improve, hence the reasoning behind weaning earlier than I would like normally.

Going into the big field with the others just over the hedge. Plan is to put the yearlings in with them in a few days so they get to make buddies and then wean shortly; that's the plan, just hope it all goes to plan! -
 
Wow what a change from when I saw him less than 12hrs old!

He really has come on hasn't he, she's done him proud as have you!
 
I love very young foals but I do actually think that at this age they look absolutely gorgeous as they develop their own personality and you can see them just filling out and getting control of themselves (well, sometimes!)

He looks a smasher! Have fun with the weaning

Can't believe it's that long since you've had Dotty too!

I've had nothing to do with him, he's been at Jill's while Sasha's been covered and he had other foal company so they stayed there. Must say I do like his character and that he's a bit smart!
