It’s a filly foal…..

Last night it was very warm and Catori was quite content being out but seemed to be stood close to the entrance to the field on her own which was very unusual.

Early Monday morning, Catori was showing signs of discomfort which subsided. Later, the tell tale sign of her dropped belly meant the foal had presented its self in the canal. At  4.10am this morning we viewed the safe delivery of a healthy few spot filly. Pending registered name Redheart Regal.

As expected, Catori proved to be a very protective mother and it was a challenge to meet the new arrival stable named Blanc. My youngest daughter said its “All Blanc”! (never guess she is learning French).

Given the foal looks all white and Catori was imported from France, the name has justification!

Blanc and Catori have a very strong bond and obviously  LP/LP which makes her a super breeding prospect.

They were taken out into the round pen this evening for 20-30 minutes, here are some photos of them.

We are delighted to see our second healthy Redheart Appaloosa on the ground.
