Stepping out……

 After a few days bonding in the confinement of a stable, it was time for Catori & Easter to stretch their legs and allow Catori time to graze. The purchase of a corral ensured no galloping but an area large enough for the mare and foal to be turned for a few hours.Easter's 1st day out 0

Peyres Catori Cat & Hevans EV Cateaster, first day out!

After a few circuits of the corral, Catori took a deep sigh and put her head down to eat, which was a relief for Easter who was exhausted mentally and pysically by her mother’s actions….

Once Easter is strong enough they will be introduced to Princesse Pascale and Hevans EV Pascalius in the big field.

The birth of my third Appaloosa!

After nights of foal watching, Peyres Catori Cat finally got down to it! At 8pm Catori was looking extremely uncomfortable just as my children were going to bed….What an excuse to stay up late!

By 9pm two brown feet, followed by a brown head appeared and within seconds a white body surprised us all!

Later we quietly walked to the stable to meet Easter, delighted to say it was a filly, just what I “ORDERED”.

After a thorough examination, “hand printing” session we ensured nursing was achieved before checking the placenta.

Leaving them to bond and put the children to bed…..

She will have a family home for life and the best possible chance of a showing career before becoming a proven quality mother herself!

On this day we also celebrated the birth of Evee, she is one year’s old today!
