And rest again, its all go for a babe.
Midnight last night saw Dawn deliver a filly foal, Dawn’s first foal, she’s going to be a great mother. Foal is likely to be grey but is currently looking bay, though a light bay almost chestnut.

Still a bit wobbly, very long legs to get used to.

Torpenhow Declan being branded
Torpenhow Declan being branded at the Oldenburg Grading.
Declan achieved a premium at his grading and the poor sole was also awarded a brand (designer label) to go with it. He’s now all set for his weaning this weekend.
3 year old colt Luke brushing up
As always Luke doesn’t like not getting any attention so decided to join in with the work.
This week we welcome the arrival of Daisy’s new colt, we’re thinking of calling him Declan, simply because his father is Decamerone, and wanted a name to follow that. He’s bay with 4 white socks.
He looks like he’s going to be a big chap, he has a lot to live up too as his pedigree is exceptional, so he’ll need to be….

Luke making sure he clears the fence
Not long before he’s being ridden.
Reno has moved to his new home with Jenny, he’s now at Manor Farm in Frankby. I’m sure he’ll love his new home and settle in really well. His brother Laddie moved to a new home with George in Thingwall a few months ago. That’s the last of Wendelin’s foals re-homed, we’ll miss him, but we now have a spare stable to use to move things round a bit.
Luke is due to be sent of soon to start some work, he’ll enjoy that (hopefully), we’re just waiting on the weather at the moment
