Luna is now on her way to her new home with her owner. So that is all of them gone.

I now have four horses here being Des, Rain, Prim and Belle. A big cut back but will make things much easier in the future.

I hope everyone has a good season next season. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. :)

Mandy has now left with TMS on her way to her new home.

Michaela and Finn came yesterday to see their boy Blue. Thank you for bringing the float so we can give Blue some float training.

And all the ones I want to find homes for are sorted.

Willow just left this morning with her new owner. She was no problem to get on the float like I thought she may be so that was good.

Mandy goes on Monday with TFS. Blue goes in a week or two and Luna goes in a few weeks.

It is sad when I have to say goodbye to them but it is for the best. I still have Des and maybe a foal born next season by him out of Prim. :)

Updates will be slowing down now with the season being over.

We had a bit of a rough time when the storm hit. No power for a few days and a tree managed to flatten the float. Not sure whether I will look at getting another float or finding one to borrow when we do float training with weanlings as we do not use it for much else. Will see how that goes.

Willow foaled a bit too early which we think may have been caused by the storm. We tried to help as best we could with the foal including vet assistance. The vet thought "maybe" on day two but the foal went downhill on day three and had to be euthanized. Vet believes something underlying was the cause as it had a bit of a rapid heart rate. So it has been one rough season for us this season gone.

I briefly advertised Willow as we did not need her but that was not working out. I put her in with Belle the TB and now have a plan to put Blue in with them next season.

Luna is going under select so her foal will be under contract. The only other confirmed mare we have is Mandy in foal to Destiny's Armani. Prim the TB might possibly be in foal to Des but we shall see next season.

So that will be all the news for a while. Photo taken from above of Des and Prim down in his paddock.

10-02-26. Miss Primitivo (Prim) is a 16.2hh, 9 year old proven TB broodmare. Prim is by Shame Express out of Miss Andrea.

Prim is going to be hand served by Des before being put down in his paddock with him.

My fantastic farrier trimmed all the horses today. Finally the weather was good enough (if a bit hot) to get it done.

Tomorrow we have a lovely new TB mare arriving to join the family. Because Belle had hurt her hind leg which will take months to heal, I was keeping an eye out quietly for a mare for Des. Now he will be able to go back down to his paddock with company.

Kash is being collect next Monday and then there will be no more leaving the nest for a while.

A bit of an update.

Belle the TB managed to take skin off her hind shin about five days or so ago. Vet cut off the loose bit of skin and it is healing well. Will take a while to heal but she will have jobs to do. Not in foal to Des but a lovely natured girl.

Luna is a one serve wonder. She let me hand serve her once and went no thanks after that. She has confirmed in foal and her foal may be under select. Just waiting for confirmation. That was good news as Des will have a mare due next season.

Mandy the TB in foal to Destiny's Armani has settled in well. She is being a mate for Rain the two year old filly.

Miss and Mav headed off to their new home and have settled in.

Now it is just waiting for when a transporter can pick up Kash in a couple of weeks or so and for Willow to foal.

So a few things have been organized.

Fizz left a few days ago to go to her new home.

Miss and Mav will be heading off to their new home next weekend at this stage.

Willow is now bagging up so looking forward to her foal next month.

I purchased a NZWB foundation mare in foal due August. She is in foal to none other than Destiny's Armani (Manny/Gio). I am quite excited about this foal and Mandy will be an ideal mare for Blue next season after weaning. Hoping for a filly as will be the 5th generation of the line we have had here. The line being Nukumaru Laddie, Sunday's Destiny, Destiny's Lucky Strike and Destiny's Armani. Very excited! :)

Weather was miserable today for my farrier to come but we have booked him again in a few weeks. Hopefully the weather is good this time!
