Fun in the snow!

Lope De Vega filly enjoyed the snow & was very happy to curl up in the warm after!!

First foal of 2017

A safe arrival for our first foal of the 2017 breeding season on the 12th of January. A filly by Ballylinch Stud's stallion  Lope De Vega. A first foal she weighed in at 45 kg & is doing well. 

Last foal of 2016 is another filly!

 Charlecote delivered a strong filly by Havana Gold on the 25th May. She was almost a month overdue! This wraps up the deliveries for this year. 9 fillies & 4 colts. We are waiting on a couple of scans but very excited to have mares in foal to Golden Horn, Oasis Dream, Dansili, Lope De Vega & Dark Angel to name a few.

First kisses.....

Bobs Worth & his mate Harry!

The kindest horse you could ever meet! Harry gets on so well with this gentle terrier!!

Bobs gets turned out daily for lots of grass & some rays of sunshine!

A little treat from Harry!

Bobs Worth enjoying his hols!!

 

Bobs has settled into his new role! He wakes up in a happy mood, spends all day in a happy mood & goes to sleep in a happy mood!! I wish I could be more like him! He adores hacking out with Harry & Stig! He has fallen for the little grey but maybe only because Harry is riding him!!

A little bonding with Stig!!

More bonding with Stig!!
