And finally - Cuckoo hatches

Poor Cuckoo, over two weeks late, but fially just before 11pm she had her first foal, Orion, a beautiful colt foal with white socks. She takes him out to the field every morning and keeps a very close eye on him all day, then back to the stable overnight. He is proving to be a very keen feeder and is already showing signs of filling out. And today he is enjoying some lovely spring sunshine as he is starting to explore his field. And down on the river bank Brandy, the little Welsh pony had a filly foal, named Amaretto. Another very cute addition to the farm. M
