Well, I finally get to say: Meet Troy

[fairhill]

He's adorable!!!!
Well worth the wait, I'm sure... Congratulations Hannah!!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Finaly an end has come to your sleepless nights and the hho horse porn

He is stunning just like his mummy, I bet you are both so proud!
Trust a guy to be so late.
Great name for him, and for 'real name' I do think Hollihurst Prospect is very nice.

Congrats to you both on such a gorgeous foalie

 

[ruscara]

Awww. How perfectly adorable. You are going to have so much fun!

 

[polaris]

Many congratulations and what a beauty!

 

[Baggybreeches]

Ooooh I like Hollinhurst Prospect! Well done both of you. BTW Those back legs look like a jumping pair!

 

[Little_Mare]

Aww, definitely worth the wait – he’s fabulous! And Hannah looks a perfect mummy!

He’s been very clever to make sure he’s got matching socks on – they’ll look cracking when he’s a big boy strutting his stuff!

I really like Prospect whatever you decide to put in front of it!

Congratulations both of you! x

 

[Parkranger]

Well I am very new to this forum but since I first started logging in and saw your posts on Hannah I have been addicted to your daily updates - no access over the weekend so was delighted to read today that you have your baby - he looks fantastic. Well done to all.

Congrats, he's gorgeous! Give him some cuddles from me, now very broody!!!!

 

[riotgirl]

No wonder Hannah kept us all waiting - he's blinking massive! Are you planning on keeping him? I can't remember what your original plans were.

 

[JaneMBE]

He is beautiful! Long long legs, a stunner. You must be very proud!

 

[Tia]

I may be confusing Becki with someone else, but I think she was planning to sell the foal......yeah right! She isn't going to let this one go is she!

[Enfys]

Lovely to see photos, and Welcome Troy.

I'd also like to thank you, Becki, for sharing all this with us. I have thoroughly enjoyed this, enjoyable and informative, with a very happy ending. Thanks.

Glad he's arrived safely.
As a guide for others, and if you don't object, could you work out what it's cost you so far to get a live foal?
I think many people would be shocked, and as a breeder feel prices for horses are often far too low comapared to the cost of rearing them.
(don't forget to include keeping the mare for 11 months plus 6 after foaling...)
