It's been awhile since posting anything. I blame facebook :)
Brody had a long, long trip but was none the worse for wear. There was food during and after the trip so he was happy. I guess he settled in quickly and was very gentle when he met the young daughter. The biggest new thing for him was the tricycle moving up and down the barn aisle. We don't have any little kids riding tricycles. He's seen kids when visitors included children but none of them ever brought their tricycle with them.
Marcia reports that Kieran has started his new job. He has been ridden for the first time and did wonderfully. Marcia has him looking fabulous. I keep forgetting to ask if he and brother Liam get along now. When Kieran first arrived Liam didn't seem to like him -- or maybe he just didn't like having new competition. ;-)
I made some decisions about the 2011 breeding season. Tristan will be standing stud April and May only so anyone interested in breeding to him will need to move quickly! The stud fee is $1000 except for purebred Irish Draught mares. The stud fee for RID mares is by private treaty. I have taken Una off the market and plan to breed her next year. I have officially retired Maggie and Portia. They both have earned retirement. The decision to breed Ellie, Alanna and Grania is still up in the air.
What became of the horse called "Jasper"?
ReplyDeleteJasper was sold to a mother and daughter from Missouri. He is helping both of them to improve their riding skills. Last we heard all 3 are very happy with each other. No new news in awhile.
