Welcome, Hermosa

[Caol Ila]

I thought my baby PRE should have her own thread, now that she has arrived. She was worried about the getting off the lorry and it took some faff and convincing. But when she did, she sensibly made her way down the ramp, instead of launching into space. Unfortunately, the lorry was so efficient that we didn't have much time to make up her bed. OH got a crash course from the barn staff in laying down a bed instead of being a photographer, while I led Hermosa around the yard. She was really good for a two-year old. Then we put her into the stable. She was happy once hay appeared and ignored the sounds of construction in the background, but acted a bit worried by horses going back and forth. There wasn't a lot of activity at her old yard. Hopefully, she will soon get used to that. But she let me brush her and pick up her front feet.

Here are the best of our rubbish photos. I'll get some better ones later. She sweated up a bit on the lorry ride.

[TinseLeneHorse]

What a wee sweetie ?

 

[j1ffy]

How exciting! You can't beat a baby PRE ?

 

[ycbm]

Her head is so like Deza Lovely girl, I'll look forward to your progress reports.

Congratulations!

She's gorgeous, but you know that !

 

[Tarragon]

How exciting! She looks lovely and I am looking forward to seeing how she develops.
I love your airy stable barn too

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Oh she is lovely

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Gorgeous! Wishing you many happy years together. What does Gypsum think of her?

 

[Cortez]

Very nice, what's her breeding? UK bred I presume?

 

[Caol Ila]

Yeah, she's from the South Side of Glasgow, and her breeder has conveniently put her pedigree on her website: https://www.foresideandalusianstud.com/bozenas-hermosa.html

Gypsum hasn't met her yet. They're not stabled next door to one another, and Gypsum likes to eat horses so I don't let her touch noses with things.

Aha! My horse (<<< in avatar) is your filly's uncle! Macetero is lovely, and the breeding on this side is exceptionally good old Bocado lines. Congratulations.

That's awesome. I met Dad at the stud. He's running with the broodmares and youngstock, and he was beautiful and seemed very kind and gentle.

Yes, the line has lovely temperaments, if quite sensitive. The stud are well into the whole natural stuff, so she won't have been mollycoddled. Macetero is by the same sire as mine, and out of a half sister of his, so they are actually 3/4 brothers AND uncle/nephew.

 

[TheOldTrout]

She is lovely.

 

[Red-1]

Congratulations! You look very happy.

 

[Inda]

Congratulations on the baby. Maybe in the future we can let the sisters meet for a hack

 

[Meowy Catkin]

She's really lovely.

That would be wonderful. Maybe by the time Hermosa is under saddle, we will be free from travel restrictions.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

[Snow Falcon]

What a nice soft, kind eye she has. I hope you have lots of great times together.

 

[Baywonder]

Oh she is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[Quigleyandme]

Lovely. My two youngsters have given me so much enjoyment.

 

[LadyGascoyne]

So lovely!

 

[COldNag]

Oooh how exciting. She's lovely.

Stupid bureaucracy question. @Cortez and @shortstuff99, I'm doing paperwork for the BAPSH ownership transfer stuff, and it is asking me for "nationality." Does that mean the country where I live and where the horse lives, or my actual nationality, like my passport? Those are very different answers!

Passport; your nationality.

 

[nikicb]

She's lovely - a beautiful kind eye. Looking forward to following your journey together. Bay mares are simply the best in my opinion! xx

Lovely looking horse you've got there! I think it is your nationality as in passport.
