Dirty (Dirtiere) had her Easy Rocking foal on Thursday morning at 5 past midnight. It was one of those births that you read about in a text book. She did everything right - and Rocky (her brand new Colt), also continued to do everything right. He' s a real sweetie and Johnny the Vet also "oooh'd" and "aaaaaah'd" - this is one well put together little boy.Meanwhile, Miss Pip in the next paddock has been standing looking over the fence at the new addition with a longing that is quite sad to watch. I have continually toyed with the idea of getting her back into foal and I have to keep remembering that she will be 20 next year - and when is enough, enough????
We are blessed to have Harry - who is doing everything right at the moment while being broken in. Craig has said that Harry "will go". We also have Pixie Lix - who is quietly growing up in the paddock with her mates, Maz and Poss. Pix is not a glamour like Harry (in fact she downright ugly at the moment), however, she is one of the best bred fillies on the property and she is sweet. Miss Pip has certainly done herself proud with her 2 Connie kids and 8 foals in 1 lifetime is enough - don't you think?
