This was taken on October 30, 2017.  The foals were weaned a month later without any fuss.  It is always a relief when all goes well!

 

Our two Bonheur foals, pictured left to right, are Buchanan (Hanoverian colt) and Brighton (Canadian Warmblood filly). Both have grown so much!  They attended their respective inspections in August/September.

These autumn days has been super for trail riding our three year old Hanoverian, Safira.  She loves to hack through the woods and has no problem heading out on her own.  She has an amazing temperament and such a good mind.  Her half sibling, Symphony, currently 19 months, shows those same characteristics as well!

 

BUCHANAN (Bonheur/Hampton/Dauphin)

Well, June and most of July flew by!  Having a couple of days between foalings to catch up on sleep was most helpful. We are so pleased with these youngsters.  Both foals have great movement, correct confirmation and engaging personalities.  We are currently in the process of rebreeding and have the privilege of living  near the wonderful stallion, Dauphin, who stands at Aileron Stables.  We are planning to breed our three mares, Lily, Belle and Safira  to him and will confirm once all the ultrasounding is finished.  The days are busy working with the yearlings and the new arrivals.   Had the new foals to the beach and watching them for the first time there is always fun.  Editing those videos now…stay tuned!

Buchanan at 3 days old!  We are very pleased with this fine young colt. Even at this young age, he is showing the great movement of his sire and dam!  He also has an engaging personality 🙂

Pastures are starting to green up.  We have had lots of moisture, and the spring fertilizer has been applied so now just waiting for the sun to do its job  🙂

Purchased a new trailer that is much smaller than the previous one.  It is easy to maneuver and will provide a comfortable space for mare and foal when travelling to  the Inspections.

Still shedding out the yearlings.  They will seem so large once the new foals are born!  The broodmares are getting closer to their due date.  The camera is set up in the foaling stall and foaling kit is ready.

Planning on taking Safira to a one day schooling show this month just to hang out in that environment and get more experience travelling on the trailer.
