Kafee, my foals and youngsters were not cosseted, they were brought up in safe fields and safe stables, but lived normal lives and beat each other up, galloped around and gave me daily heart attacks. All babies do that, and it doesn't matter what or who they are, they are all precious to their Mums Yes, exactly SS3, that was what I was trying to say. You cared about their mental well being as well as their physical well being, and let them be babies and have normal lives and gallop around and beat each other up, just like my 'cheap as chips' forest born NF's, and I'm sure they've grown up to be well rounded adults as a result. I can't imagine what it was like to watch potential HOYS champions getting legs stuck across each others backs, or going down on one knee to stop the other one biting his leg, while trying to bite the other's legs, or getting a really good hold of each others crests, as mine do. As you say, they must have given you daily heart attacks, but they were worth it, they are stunning!

Thank you everyone for being so kind, and Kafee you brought a tear to my eye, I think they all did grow up well rounded adults as a result of the kind of up bringing they had . I remember Kelly asking Monty if Sunny would be suitable for join up when he was a foal and Monty said " No , he already has " that made me very proud. Wizzy, why do you think your babies are so beautiful? Because their Mum was beautiful of course . A foal takes 75 percent from the Dam, and although the Stallion, of course, has to be good and complement the mare, it's the mare that REALLY matters.

Have to agree she was a lovely mare. I wanted to breed her back to the Trakehner stallion but by this time he had been sold to Germany (the first British bred graded Trakehner stallion to be bought by the Germans) and she didn't take with frozen semen so I had to change my plan. If I get another though I will buy a foal from the stud with the same blood lines as my mine. Thought i'd do it the cheap way and breed my own - what a joke that was. Cant wait to see Frankie under saddle and winning too. Will also see Sunny at HOYS hurray. He would look lovely on any quality photogaph. Ps I admire that you can wear sandals with the toe piece, I cant seem to get on with them lol. I tend to spend a lot of my time in my "BHS Approved Crocs " as my friend calls them.
