Sonador III has a new home with a lovely family from Bewdley in Worcestershire. They already keep Lusitano horses and are now looking to breed Andalusian / Lusitano crosses from Sonador.

They are very keen on dressage and Parelli Natural Horse Training, so Sonador has defiantly fallen on his feet!

Coleen says Bajardo is settling in well at his new home and is making friends with her other foal Zeb. I am sure they will be best mates very soon.

Bajardo left us today on the long journey to Lincolnshire. He loaded beautifuly and Colleen reported that he travelled very well.

Bajardo has been to sold to Colleen from Grimsby and will be leaving us later this year after weaning. Bajardo will be a companion to Colleeen’s coloured foal and ultimately a dressage star ( hopefully! ). We wish Colleen lots of fun and good times with this special boy.

Both the foals met the vet for the first time yesterday when they had their microchips inserted, passports applied for and Bajardo had blood taken for his DNA test.  Both behaved impeccably as you would expect from Oyon babies.

Banderra has a beautiful chocolate dun colt foal. He will probably go black and doesn’t have a white hair on him!!

The horses had a frosty start to 2009 with a night time temperature down to -5 deg C

Sonador and Henrietta have been weaned from their Mum’s. Everyone is very chilled and unbothered as we have been training for this day for some weeks now.

We need to rest the hay fields so the foals were moved today to go out with our other horses.

The quickly settled in after a short run around with the yearlings.

Sonador is well developed and strong and he went out in the field for the first time today.

We gave hime an hour to get his bearings then turned out Henrietta and Cheyenne. It is a large field but they stayed together.
