My foals 2010

Finally we have some sun here up North- a last taste of summer before autumn sets in!

I had to use this sunny day well and I snapped some new pics of my foals for this year.

They weren`t all to willing to pose for me, but I shot a few pics of them anyhow :)

They have grown up so fast! It will soon be time for seperating them from their mums and start training them....Well, here they are!

Embla - my beautiful buckskin filly! :)

She is really special with her yellow drawings, black forelock and nutty brown eyes....

I believe she will be a big and heavy girl when she grows up - just like her mummy!

She reminds me a lot of her daddy Camella Boy Warrior as well - I cross my fingers for her having the same love for pulling the cart as her sire! :)

Bella - a smashing brown beauty :)

She has shed into a darker coat now and she has grown a lot!

But she is still mummys girl and she rejected to pose alone ;)

Kaizer and Bella - brother and sister.

Kaizer - a silver dapple and white dream come true....

This boy will grow into a stunning stallion!

He is already so chunky and hairy - I really think this is a stallion prospect for the future ;)

This is not the best picture of him, but I blogged it just to show you how much feather he has grown already.....

Little Lucas - our mascot!

He is a smaller colt and really adorable - I he reminds me a lot of his grandad Ickie when he was just a young colt as well. I cross my fingers for him growing into a little beauty like his mum Lilo :)

Seline - I love this fillys` personality!

She is just so sweet, friendly and loving - she will follow you around like a dog...

She`s got a really nice body - not as much hair as I would prefer, but her temper weights it all up! I really, really think this girl would make a great family horse!

And last up is Ramona!

She is a big and gentle filly and my son has claimed that he is going to keep her.

I believe she will grow up to be a true beauty just like her parents and grandparents :)

Well, I hope you`ve enjoyed!

It's a boy!!!

I've been waiting for weeks - but finaly Netta decided to share her foal with me;)
My first colt this year. Sired by Camella Boy Warrior. Shure I was hoping for a buckskin one... but this guy has already stolen my heart. He is just the moust adorable tempered one. Corny being his father I guess he is carrying cream (being smoky black) ore the pearl gene. Guess I'll do the DNA test. He is one day old in these photos. And yes- he is for sale.

Because of the Norwegian roules for breeding We are only allowed to youse Corny on two mares a year. Netta was not one of them... This boy will therfore not be registrated as a tinker.. althou he shure is one. In Norway he therfore has to be a gelding... so I named him - Two Peas In A Bucket :)

my weekend...

This weekend I spent among great friend at a marked named Etne Markanden. There are a lot of things happening. The usual markeds selling a lot of stuff you dont really need. I'd say there was almoust 100 horses gathered. Show jumping, English dressage and " Brukskjøring" a driving competition. We camp and spend the nigth at the saloon:)Me and Rose attended the driving.Here are some photos from the driving. There are a lot of different things you have to do. Stay put for 10 seconds downhill - and the into the water

Backwards into the gate

Trotting

Crossing the "bridge"

Well.... we shure shoud hade done a lot more training. And Rose was a bit overwelmed by the music, lots of people, and mummys competition nerves. Driving her was lik driving a bumpy bear. Somhow she really wanted to have bouth of her front feets OF the grond moust of the time;) My poor little girl. She shure had an experience this day. In the end I managed to calm her down
. And I was wery proud when the results stated us to the 4th place in the pony class!!!! (not certain we decerved it thou)

I'm also sertain that Rose woud do better the next time. She just neded to ger her nerves in control:)

Afterwards all the driving hoses gathered and went for a parade thou the town and market place.

Shure we had to do someting different... riding in a driving parade. And it's natural to put on a dress? We thougt so. I borrowed Inges mare Ally (my grand daugther - sired by Herkules) Inger was riding Scully

White dress - and off course baere foot:)

Do I have to mention we did have an amazing weekend??

And yupp - we did go to the Saloon dressed like this :)

Some new photos of Ramona.

She`s grown a lot and is nearly 4 months old now.

I like how she is developing into a big and heavy girl :)

She is a friendly and calm foal and doesn`t mind some cuddeling....

Look how big she is next to mummy......

She also likes to play and she doesn`t hesitate to "attac" her stepdad Red :)

Come on - let`s play!

My little girls

Finaly I had some time to take some fresh photos. Having two weeks off work now:) I've spendt a lot of time in the field today - just studying the different personality these young girls are developing. I cant make up my mind on who's my favorite

Thelma.. well, I sold her - and her name was changed to Santana. The papers shipped, and then the byer decided to move out of the country. Well, the desl is off, and she is offered for sale again. This time named Santana;)

Ruby. I guess she's going to be the largest foal. She is the calmes on ever. Sleeping in the fiels, I had to pull and drag her on her feets. Started to wounder if she was sik ore somthing. Bouth her parents are red. So she has to be one to. I've never had a red foal going as dark as this girl. I'm so woundering if she will get this pretty, pretty dark red color??

Rory - the photos say's it all dosn't they?? She is the first one meeting me in the field. Following me like a dog. And she has the qutest little head - and a chunky nek. Adorable!!!

Emma - the quiet one. She comes allong for a cuddle. But waits patiently for it to be her turn.

Dharma. She is a mummy girl. Her mum Thinka is a strikt parent. She is the only foal that is not allowed of her mum to join the other foals playing and exploring. Her mum demands that se keeps in short distance all the time;)

And at last Callie - the smallest one. Still nok as independent as the other and older foals. She's born calm. Loves to cuddle. I expect her to be a smaler cob. An look at her feathers!! I had her DNA results back. No silver detected - so she's a bay. It dosn't mather thou - shes definatly ranging high on my favorite list.
