For five weeks, a little filly slept alone next to her gentle mother, but yesterday, something different happened!
… Isolde got company! It wasn’t for the whole night, but for a good half an hour in the evening as we were saying goodbye to all our pets.
The body language is crystal clear: “Hey you! Don’t drop […]
Our little Sheba is very brave, and we have yet to see anything that will frighten this young Rhodesian Ridgeback pup of eleven weeks of age.
Some things in life however do require a certain amount of respect and precaution, which Sheba sometimes lacks. Not wanting to take the chance of her learning a devastating life-lesson […]
Last Saturday, we took out Arwen and her four week old filly Isolde for a morning walk.
Isolde was thrilled to be out, so thrilled that Anette and I (and Arwen!) had to keep a close watch at her, so she didn’t venture too far…
After the first five minutes into exploring territory, Isolde decided it was […]
Finally, I got to meet Isolde yar’Arwen. She is one fabulous young lady! Although I’ve had to keep an eye on Sheba since arriving, there is lots of room in my heart for Isolde too! Photogchic was right, she does have her mother’s long legs. She also seems to have her father’s smaller (slightly Arabian-looking) […]
The picture of the day this week is none other than a photo of Isolde saying hi to Tabita for the first time! Isolde loves people, and people just love her! Right now, Tabita’s games are all centered around “Arwen the horse” and “Isolde the foal” and Isolde is happy to have so many people […]
Today is Anette’s birthday, and so what better than to post some Isolde highlights from her first week in life? Here is a post for all horse-lovers!
DAY ZERO: Arwen hasn’t more than come back from her afternoon walk when she starts foaling. Ali heads out to inform Anette, who arrives 12 minutes later to a […]
Arwen foaled yesterday! It’s was a perfect delivery with everything going by the book. Anette had the ungrateful task of keeping Arwen from stepping on her own placenta before it had been complete expelled, but that disagreing part will quickly be forgotten when the result is a perfect little filly with beautiful lines!
Arwen is the […]
Anette texted me 3 hours ago to say that Arwen had just foaled! I’ve been on the phone ever since: a huge thanks to skype for making it possible to be in touch for a long time without risking financial ruin!
Although none of us expected Arwen to foal in day time and absolutely not in […]
Someone is getting ready for delivery… 10½ months right now so it could be just about any day!
Seems like Junior is leaning to the side…
But whenever he decides to pop out, there will be milk waiting for it!
Arwen cutting the lawn at the Eden office…
…with a belly that is growing sideways!
The latest changes is that Arwen & Sahara was now buddies and do everything together again.
Even drinking from the same water bowl…
