Chris, the vet came to see Penny on May 1st. He said that it was a bit too early to Unstitch her and to arrange another appointment in a month. He did give her the flu and tet jab though which she needed and yesterday I wormed her in preparation for the foal. Chris said that she looked very well. I am pleased with her condition at the moment, she looks great. it's nice to have a professional opinion though!

The two mares are moving to another new paddock on Monday. This time it will be just the two of them, in case one of them foals while they are out. The paddock is also right next to the yard, so it will be easier to keep an eye on them. The plan was to start bringing them in next week, but they are doing so well out that we think we might leave them for another two weeks. we are playing it by ear!
