DRESSAGE DEBUT

Soffía's POV

You have probably forgotten all about Epando, and I understand if you have! I haven't talked about him in a loooong while, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been active! He has one quite a fair share of shows, and I have been training him up for Dressage, thinking he could do well in that too.

He really has lovely gaits, and a very nice trot.

So we have been training for that for a while now, and are looking forward to next week that will be his debut in Dressage. With me as his rider of course. He is my horse after all.

And around sundown I managed to get all the foals together, so I could take a picture of them together! Probably the first and last time I do it with this bunch, because daaamn it was a hassel! This picture surely didn't come easily, and it was still imperfect as Radis had closed her eyes as I snapped the shot. Silly babies d:

TWO DOWN, THREE MORE TO GO! (OR)

Nikolette's POV

Well, technically only two foals was born today. The last baby was born yesterday when we were fortunate to not have snow, so this is not three snow pictures in a row sadly d:

Anyways, first baby up (showed by my love Soffía) is the only tobiano and the probably only dun of the total bunch. His name is Fákur frá Upkeep, and he is after Floki fra Ísdalur and Upkeep's own Kolubleik frá Upkeep! He is Grulla Tobiano (Ee aa Dd nT) and a colt.

He is a spunky little fellow, most energetic and not that gentle. He is not a big pack animal, and prefers to be alone, though he has bravery enough for three fluffy foals!

Next one is Reginn frá Upkeep. He is after Raudur frá Upkeep and Blágrána frá Upkeep. He is a guarantied grey as his dam is a Grey GG mare, and we will be very sad to see that lovely Liver Chestnut (ee AA Gg) coat grey, but well... what is Upkeep Tölter's next generation without a foal that is greying with time?

And then there is the only girl as of yet. Please welcome Sibba frá Upkeep (owned by me personally) with her mother BOE Solvei (also owned by me). Her sire is Apall frá Upkeep that I was lucky enough to be allowed to use as stud for Solvei's second and last foal.

She is such a little star, but knowing her father I know that she will grow into a grey coat by the time she is an adult, which kinda sucks as she is the spitting image of her mother right now. But we will see, we will surely love her anyway! Oh the joys of using a Grey GG stallion! xD

Being Solvei's baby she is of course mostly calm and collected and very friendly. She is also very outgoing and loves being amongst the other horses and foals.

And then a single picture - with a pretty rainbow! - of Reginn being annoying, Sibba being annoyed and Fákur being his usual curious self, late to the party as always xD
