Prince-Eastlands Dunrose |
We had the
misfortune to lose Bardsey Chalice just after
foaling leaving behind her young daughter which we
are hand rearing.
So many people
have been so kind and 20 foster mares were offered
but as she was not a "sucker" but preferred to drink
out of a bucket and she remained at home. Whether this
was a wise decision remains to be seen. She is full
sister to the stallion Eastlands Terry; Eastlands
Camelia; Eastlands Fawnscars; E. Lymiecleuch, Tally
ho Tony, and Black Beauty.
We would like to
thank everyone for their help and good wishes and
will keep you up to date on her progress.
One thing we did
learn was when you are presented with an orphan foal
so many things need to be gathered together. A very
useful tip was to keep the dead mare's udder warm
(hot water bottles did the job) and she let her
colostrum down and fed her foal for the first 12
hours, which we think probably saved her life.
Alice (racing nme E.
Snowdrop[) had a colt by Lockinge Frederick on 2nd May
The news on Margaret
is much the same, but foaling has begun in earnest.
APRIL
Was an absolutely
dreadful month.
Margaret who
comes and helps us sometimes when we go showing and
looks after the farm, was taken into hospital for
operations to try and stop a bleed on her brain, in
Edinburgh. She has now been transferred to Dumfries
which is more handy for visiting, but is still very
poorly and the outcome uncertain. It will be a long
haul.
Primrose had a
filly foal by Hookey Golden Latke - probably one of
his last foals
April Showers, but
surely not of snow.!!! Much snow during the week 7th to
13th April.
GOWLA Topper, bred by
Thomas Keaney, Gowla, Cashel, Co.Galway. He was thought
too immature to enter for the colt inspections this year
and we have just got him in from the hill for some
discipline!
The is by
Monaghanstown Pat out of Misty Glen, who was second at Clifden
some 10 years or so ago
MARCH
The February saying
was right!
In like a lion out
like a lamb.
Snow started again
on 3rd March and has continued through the month so far.
The colt inspections
in our area were held on 26th March 2008. We took our
first colt for 18 years to an inspection!
Eastlands Ashiebrae -
foaled 17th July 2006 - out of our Belle (Bardsey
Trinket) was her first stallion son with her husband
Fred.
We were delighted that he
passed as Class 1 - 91% (274)
FEBRUARY
"If Candlemas Day be
ice and bright
Winter will not have
lost it's bite,
If Candlemas Day
shall be rain
Winter will not be
seen again".
Candlemas Day 16th February 2008 - Lucy's Birthday
