Quakers Comfrey produced a gorgeous little chestnut (possibly roan) filly in the early morning.  She had a perilous start to life (see "Fight for Hope on the left-hand side of the page) so we have called her "CorleyOak Touch Wood" - Hope for short.

RETAINED (Can't part with her now after all we've been through together)

SECOND FOAL - ARRIVED 04.04.08

Herewith, as promised, better pics of CorleyOak Apatchy, who transformed from a rather bedraggled baby giraffe into a stunning, chunky and very pretty colt in the space of 12 hours....

FIRST FOAL - ARRIVED 11.03.08

Here's our first foal for 2008.  Our palomino mare, Vanilla, gave birth to a gorgeous palomino filly - almost a twin of herself - "CorleyOak Pink Champagne" - field name "Storm" due to the fact that she was born during a really bad one......

RETAINED

Above and right - "Storm" on her first outing at one week of age.  She looks a bit worried about this new world, doesn't she?  She soon found her hooves and is now galloping around the paddock and jumping in the air like a spring lamb!

The picture below was taken the  morning after her birth, following an extremely stormy night.  Fortunately, we've had Vanilla in for the past few weeks so the foal is warm and dry - and considerably more fluffy now she's dried off.

This picture was taken when she was just minutes old.  She looks darker than her dam here, but that's because she hasn't dried off yet!!
