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.

Jacinto and Henrietta left us today for their new home with Claire and Val. Although sold to different owners they will continue to live together. Both travelled well and are now happily settled in their new field. We wish Val and Claire lots of fun with them.

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.

We have finally applied for a name for Cheyenne’s foal – Dragon Diablo.

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!!

Cheyenne has had a beautiful, bay colt foal. We are so pleased as he is very well grown, friendly and has striking looks with his 4 white feet and a star.

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

A very Frosty Sonny

Henry frosty - Zac spent the night in a stable

Jac tucks in to breakfast

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.
