Penny has had a filly

Penny had a filly foal by Catherston Dazzler on March 10th. Apparently she is a lovely filly. I am hoping to see them both on a trip to Devon later this month.

Percy was an idiot for the farrier for the second time in a row. They had a row and the farrier won so hopefully he will start to get the idea that standing still and being sensible is a far better option.

Apart from that Percy is doing well. He is doing some in-hand work in the school ready for his appearance at the South of England show this year. This has all been going pretty well, he walks and trots nicely in hand and stands up fairly well. I now need to work on him picking his feet up while standing up. We also need to have another go at loading which he hasn't done since last year.

Percy is now about 15hh, he is growing in to his neck and shoulders though still looks pretty immature behind. I am pleased with how he is doing. Apart from his hang up with the farrier he is behaving and doing really well!
