Chippy sounds lovely...<br /><br />BB - they don't really handle them but perhaps they'd like me to do so over winter up here. It's SO tempting to offer to take her off their hands and save them a bit of hay.<br /><br />Cindy - his legs look like little tree trunks don't they!<br /><br />Parsnip - Snippet gets a huge amount of exercise, particularly in summer when my partner takes him out in the evening for a couple of hours too. I'm sure your square ones are happy with you.<br /><br />Rusty Duck - They're normally born between April and June but number 10 was EXTREMELY late. Someone left their stallion out too long by the looks of it!<br /><br />DW - I've got the winter to decide what to do, if anything. I think they'll probably turn her out again and when they do sell them, they don't use the sales thank goodness.<br /><br />Thelma - I'd like him too! I'm a sucker for a chestnut.Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-4359815595845807762012-11-17T08:43:53.721+00:002012-11-17T08:43:53.721+00:00Good news and Lizzie will be fed over winter.

My 'gypsy mum ponies' have matted manes thick with burrs which is a great pity but the foals are still dashing around madly though they have been moved to higher fields because of flooding further down.. thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-13942958289503114142012-11-16T22:59:26.358+00:002012-11-16T22:59:26.358+00:00It is so good to know that Lizzie is safe for now ...It is so good to know that Lizzie is safe for now . I expect you were dreading the thought of her going to the Sales and what the outcome might be.<br /><br />Although it is wonderful to live in a place like Dartmoor, or the New Forest, it can be heartbreaking to see the foals grow up and then disappear.
