Confirmed…….

 

 A quick trip to Three Counties Equine Hospital LLP this evening proved to be great news!

Princesse Pascale has successfully conceived as the scan image shows the embryo (gestational sac) at 15 days post ovulation.

PP lost her pregnancy last year, so I will try not to get too excited.

We will confirm her pregnancy is maintained with another scan later in June.

Every thing crossed!

Patience……

  Today was a short journey for Hevans EV Catorrius, to Moreton Morrell in Warwickshire for the Foreign Breed classes held under the Saddlebred Association.

HEVANS EV CATORRIUS - MAY FESTIVAL 2014 (1)

He took first place in “Foreign Breeds Coloureds In Hand” any age, judged on 75% confirmation 25% colour. The second class was another first place in the “Open Foreign Breeds In Hand” any sex, under three years old! Delighted! Hats off to Reus for his second show of 2014.

 

The Championship proved to be a different story! Reus stood beautifully at the end of the line for ages whilst the judge inspected the others! As the judged approached us, Reus’s patience had gone! Toys thrown out of the pram…….this lack of ability to suppress restlessness in a long time line up is going to become familiar!

Where does the time go……

It was September 2013 when I emptied the lorry, cleaned all the equipment and stored it away! Last night it was all revisited and every item given a new home for the next six months. A trip to Royal Windsor for Hevans EV Catorrius proved to be a exhausting day for me! As a strong two-year-old colt he strutted his way, screaming at every horse he thought might be a filly! It was a 35 minute walk from our lorry to the warm up ring and by the time we entered the ring his voice was a mere whimper! Settled, walking out he took first place in the Youngstock and Reserve Champion in the Open in the Main Register Appaloosa In Hand. A promising start to 2014…..
