The third and the last foal of the year was born to Jo at 5am this morning.
It’s a beautiful strong black filly. She is Jo’s fourth baby girl, the first one that is black. Jo is now a confirmed heterozygote.
This season’s birthings were fantastic.
We always woke up and found a still wet-and-wobbly but lively foal. The placentas were all easy to find and in one piece. Nice!
Piebald colt Rover arrived early morning today. Dame is Plamp Jemima,
Sir is Plamp Fortune Skywalker.
He is very similar to 5 days old Pipa.
We got a lovely piebald filly today early morning. Pipaluk is out of Plamp Primrose by Plamp Eitan (both parents are registered with SPSBS, SA negative).
Pipa is such a sweet, calm muffin.
The lady in the photo is my dear friend Jana. It is her “fault” we breed shetland ponies.
I saw the first shetland pony in her stud many years ago and I was gone 😊.
My at the time one year old filly Juri developed a sarcoid by her eye.
It did not grow or change, for several months it remained the same size and shape. About 1cm big. I started applying Renu28 gel, though not with much consistency.
Even then the sarcoid begun changing - it got longer and pointier until it was only hanging in by a thin stem. At last it fell off all by itself.
The treatment took 3 months. Juri is now 3 years old and the sarcoid has not returned.
Eric is 7 months old. We call him Éro. He still shares the fence with his mom Janine and with his aunt Jaffe. Éro and Jaff are partners in crime.
Ero is easy going foal, no problems with headcolar or lift up his leg. He is sweet.
