Hello
Just to let you know the all the in foal mares are now on their way home! ;D
Sarah has spoken to Veronica who has collected them and she said they were fine a bit nervous and scared as they were in a corral and then herded into a race for the farmer to put their headcollars on,but they all led on quietly and seem very sweet.
So welshcob and sixfoot blond, I think these are your babies!!!!

Bad news,about in foal mares I'm afraid.The weather is awful at the docks and the ferry has been cancelled.the transporter is going to carry on and try and make the dover crossing instead,meaning that even if its not cancelled the poor things will have an extra 3 hour drive to get there.Why is this happening? haven't they been through enough?feel so sad for them.Just hope they can get on a ferry to dover.will let you know.

just heard from veronica again,she has been told that she wont be able to get the calais to dover ferry either,apparently they are still sailing but they wont let livestock on as it is too rough.She has stabled them with afriend over there and assures me they are all fine and will be well cared for.Unfortunately due to her other commitments she wont be able to bring them back till monday now when she goes for the others.At least they wont be having a rough crossing.Just hope this stupid weather improves by then,is this really july?! Sorry to maria and wendy who I know are waiting for their new babies,but nothing to be done unfortunately,I have sent you an email too.Sx
