Last week I brugth Penny and her foal Dora to Victor. Do I have to mention that he had absolutly nothing against getting a new girl in his heard?? Lolo thou, was not to happy about seeing her half sister again.

She is a pretty one this foal... keeper???

Afterwards I borught Ickie home with me. Not many girl for him this season. Before loading him, we just had to teas him a bit. (You know, photos are importain;) )Letting him show of for a in season Emily... That por boy...

Well.. he really is beautifull this boy - and yes he is still for sale!!! If not sold by fall - I'm affraid he will be gelded. New, and youg stallions are taking his place here at vestlandsbanden.

So high - but still easy to handle... this boy really has the perfect temper.

Vestlandsbandens Lucas is a black little colt.
His results are E/E, a/a, N/N
He is just so cute and truly loves people, so I had to add these photos of him together with our son Even and our daughter Mira :)
Check out his happy face! Vestlandsbandens Embla - my fav girl this year :)
She is a buckskin and white filly!! :)
She also carries a red gene.
E/e, A/A, N/CR
Vestlandsbandens Seline is tested to be a black based horse and she does also have the red gene.

Vestlandsbandens Ramona - this girl is the only foal I didn`t test, because both her parents are chestnut, so she has to be a chestnut herself - a chestnut and white that is :)

The yearling fillies +++

Thought I`d snap some pics of the yearlig fillies, almost out of their wintercoat now :)

First up is Ronja - our chestnut/pearl and white girl. Mum is Nancy and dad Camella Boy.

She is a nice and heavy, but smaller filly - just the way I like them! :)

Taking a walk in the forrest :)

Sahara is our palomino filly from Corrie and Ickie.

Tiril and Sahara - they are half sisters.

Tiril together with her mum Bess and a silly goat who had to sneak into the picture :)

I hope Tiril will get mums hair when she grows up....

And because the sun was shining and I was doing some photos, I snapped some of the rest of the horses at home too....here is Red - he has developed a lot these past months and is turning into a real stud! He`s just a bunch of mucles now...

Red and Ramona

Our son Marcus together with Ramona.

He has fallen in love with this friendly girl and claims that she is going to be his horse :)

She loves the attention from our children and is more than villing to stand still and just receive lots of hugs :)

Showing off!

And just a few photos of our 2 two year old boys Robin and Teddy.

Robin has just recently been gelded (I hope he forgives me ;) and I believe he will be a great familyhorse in the future!

Teddy does still have his precious private parts intact, and I believe he will develope into a nice young stud :)

His dad is Ickie and mum is Bess...maybe you can see the resembelance between him and his sister Tiril....?

Well, that`s it for today - gotta go to work ;)

Rory and Ruby

I have to say.. I'm lucky!!! Coud not be more happy about this seasons offspring so far... 5 foals born - and they are ALL fillies!!!

Last night i Didn't get to much sleep. Bouth Rosie and Eliza had theire foals. First out was Elisa. Giving me a solid red girl - sired by Holms Lacoste of Picasso.
I've named her Vestlandsbandens Ruby.
Unfortionatly she managed to get outside the fenche - hurting herselfe with a big schratch on her shoulder. My poor little girl - Having mer medicined and vetrinary treated one day old was not a part of my plan - I'm crossing my fingers for her, and do believe she will be well soon.

And here is Vestlandsbandens Rory. Jupp Rosie and Ickie prodused another stunning red girl. This one realy stole my heart - look at her adorable big eyes!
