Birth Announcement! ... Lunar Dude McFritz ??

      Well! Yesterday this little colt was called "Nell" ... until we had another look under that tightly clamped tail, in the bright daylight! Now he looks like being called Tuffy ... and officially, Lunar Dude McFritz. We could change our minds half a dozen times before the paperwork goes through! 
      Tuffy was born on March 21st 2010 ... first day of Spring, and also my son John's birthday. It was a busy day, to say the least! Like all Luke's foals, and all Lily's foals ... this baby is already up for a scratch and a cuddle. Our Hanna gets stuck right in with the Imprint training, and we expect to see this little fellow in a halter (headcollar) without any fuss at all. We have not yet decided if Tuffy will be offered for sale, but please join us in welcoming him to the world!

Saddle up! Hanna takes things into her own hands.

      Sometimes, it's hard to remember that Hanna is only thirteen. What an amazing horse girl she is. Today, she was going to brush horses for an hour while I met the washing machine repairman. When I came back, though, I found she had first-time saddled both three year olds, Lace and Tess E, all by herself!
      The interesting thing is, I've never really shown her how to do it ... she's just sort of seen it done ... and decided to try it herself. She used advance-and-retreat technique, with which she had great success. As you can see, Lace is quite content with matters as they are. 
      Hanna even had the presence of mind to take photos with her phone, and blue-tooth them to my MacBook. 
      How, you may well ask, did any of us ever get anything done in this world ... before we had such clever teenagers to show us the way forward ... ???

       Foal watch: Nothing yet, but Honey, Lily and Gem are starting to make milk for the foals. They're drinking LOADS, and I'm having to fill their trough twice a day. It's nice to see the milk sacs just starting to develop. BGem and Honey are considerably bigger on one side than the other - which seems fine as long as they don't have twins !!

           I'm bit of a Lonesome Dove myself, after the loss of Larry Taylor, my first love, who was an awesome horseman. 
           Always rising from the ashes, like the Phoenix, I'm determined to build a new fire, a new future for my children. 
       While I'm deeply grateful for the ten wonderful years I spent with the children's father ... inside myself always, I am aware of another Dove who rides on a ghost horse called Sugarfoot. 

    Sugarfoot, Ghost Horse, Larry Taylor, Laurence A Taylor,
