Off we went to Fayre Oaks with three ponies up to Builth. Sold Jenny Wren to the Melchael Stud and then came back with a stallion, a cracking little horse with a wonderful temperament to cross with our small selection of section As.

THREE FILLIES IN ONE DAY !!!

MAY 2007

We a very eventful couple of days in may, culminating in us gaining three sweet section A fillies in less than 12 hours. Ceri was more or less to date when she foaled. An unwelcome visitor in the shape of a JCB entering the field to do some maintenance (totally unannounced), set off an already hyped up group of mares to gallop round the fields.

My mother got rid of the JCB and got to work settling the ponies back down and on seeing Sallie going into the throes of foaling , went to check on her. On glancing up the field to check on our old mare Jenny, she had the shock of her life to see that Jenny had foaled too. Both 2 weeks early. We are very lucky that all is well with the trio and they are thriving.

BE ADDER AWARE!

BLAENGWAWR LUCKY LADY (Aka Anna)  In early Spring these little snakes are very lethargic particularly on a warm morning after basking. This together with their venom being far stronger made for a powerful reaction. Ordinarily, the adder would have moved away. Anna was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but now fighting fit!

My 2 y o D filly hasn’t had the best of starts in life bless her. Born with underdeveloped lungs she had 3 months of twice daily treatment to help her improve (antibiotics, ventapulmin and natural yoghurt, and a fantastic vet).

She survived and blossomed but then went onto get kicked on the hock and subsequently put vertebrae out in her back and neck. We had a wonderful Chiropractor called Bethan Lloyd to massage and manipulate her back and limbs and she came bouncing back.

One week after re locating her to West Wales her head started swelling up, her tongue became distended and rigid and her mucous membranes also had a reaction too. Her vet, Stephen Harris was a great asset, diagnosed the bite after some detective work and lots of tests. Due to antibiotics, anti-inflamms, vitamin B, naso gastric tubings she slowly improved. To compliment that ,natural yoghurt and honey. We swear by it if antibiotics are used for an extended periods of time to improve flora levels.

Anna has now well and truly recovered.  She lives out and is growing well and looking good....
