Vestlandsbandens Lucas

Here he is - our first boy of the season!

A totally adorable black colt from our young mare Lilo and our silver stud Golden Victory :)

He was born wednesday night and is Lilos first baby.

She is a great mum and takes really good care of her little man.....

His breeding is very special as he has 3 of our approved stallions in his pedigree;
Golden Victory is dad, Ickie is grand-dad and Herkules is his great grand-dad.
Maybe I will just have to keep this little sweetheart ;)

A very proud mum! :)

Just had to add a photo of Lilo as well - she is really my type of mare and she also has the greatest temper. I hope she will pass her qualities along to her babies....

Emma

Just wanted to share some fresh photos of Emma. She is two weeks old now. Still waiting for her DNA results - but her mane is turning grey/white - so I'm getting quite shure of her beeing a silver dapple:)
I cant quite make up my mind - Am I gonna keep this girl?? Am I gonna sell her? I know I can't keep them all....

Vestlandsbandens Dora

Yesterday Penny finaly had her foal. I've been waiting, waiting and waiting for this one. Off course she foaled when I was at work - my only comfort beeing that Magnar was home taking care of them. I had to ring him and make him lift the foals tail, asking him several times, are you shure I's another filly??? Yippi!!!!
Her sire is Camella Boy Warrior - DNA testing a.s.a.p - But I'm expecting here to be a pearl carrier.

Meeting cosin EMMA for the fist time. Two weeks og age difference

Yupp, this girl has hair!!!

Trying to do like mummy...

She had a lot of problems getting started on the milk bar - I spendt houers last nigth trying to help her figure it out. Well, she still manges to get milk all over her face, but she is getting there:)

- Mona -

Yeah, yet another girl!

Like Mona mentioned, finally spring is here and the foals are starting to enter the world :)

I was actually not expecting my first foal to be born yet, I thought I had to wait a few weeks more. But shame on me - last night Nancy had a big and strong filly!

A tobiano chestnut and white cutie pie with a short, short back and looong, strong legs :)

Her father is La Coste - I guess she will grow up to be a big cob just like her daddy.

Here are her first photos, not the best because it was evening and starting to get dark before i got the chance to have a photoshot, but at least you will get an idea of how the little lady looks like :)

We have decided to name her Ramona.

Check out her long eye lashes - too cute! :)

Mummy is the safest place to be in this scary new world.......

Hardly no back on this little lady - where do the saddle go when the time is right for that....?

Trying uot her feet for the first time!

Well, that was it for today - have to snap some new pics of Ramona later on when it is brighter outside. Hope you`ve enjoyed! :)

It's a girl!!!!

Finaly - my favorite time of the year. The ligth is coming back, birds are singing, the grass is getting green - and the foals are arriving!!!
Rose gave me a beautifull supprice yesterday morning. A pretty, adorable filly! The first one this year. Sired by Golden Victory, I'll be DNA testing her, believe here to be a silver dapple one!!!!! And as you can se, like the filly Rose had last year, this one is also a tiny littel one. I do love the little ones.

One day old in theese photos

Adorable, playing with her mummy's rope. This girl is born calm. She already loves a cuddle.

Finding a name is the worst part of getting the foals... well, finaly I've desided that this one is Vestlandsbandens Emma. Only 8 more to go in my farm.... phu..

A close up on her mane. Ther is a white spot between her ears, but isn't the mane a bit silver?? I have to do the DNA test soooon - so hoping for here to be a silver one!

Well, hoped you enjoied the photos... and just to make shure you stop by our blog later on..... I had an SMS from Elisabeth this morning. There is a pretty supprice on here farm to!!!

Vestlandsbandens Robin - 2 years old.

I just wanted to share a few pics I shot of Robin today.

He will soon be 2 years old and is developing into a nice young stallion.

He is really special with his white head, red body and blond hair :)

Of course - just like his father Ickie - he is a little sweetheart and very calm and easy going....

He will be for sale to the rigth home!

Sorry - he is not to clean in the photos, I hope you can see the nice young stud behind the hair and mud ;)

Here together with his best pal and brother - Teddy.

Hope you liked the update.

And while I`m here I also want to wish you all a very HAPPY EASTERN!!! :)
