Finally, after many sleepless nights, Sky produced a bouncing extremely well marked coloured colt by Cookie at 4am this morning. Nearly 3 weeks overdue - he was well worth the wait. Blue has had a superb colt foal as well.
Sky's foal has been sold and will be campaigned for the show ring next year.

Sunday Driving in the Spring Air
Friends of ours came down from Sussex and we took their girls for a drive on Isaac. Isaac is a fab traditional stallion who has pulled a bowtop to Appleby and Stow. He is totally bombproof in the heaviest of traffic and would lick you to death all day!
