Our not so little babies all celebrated their first birthdays recently…
In other news Thumper (Merrick Debonair) has gone to Equus for the Summer (initially) as his waistline was giving cause for concern (like I can talk) and everyone else is still on a break while we concentrate on helping a family member through her recuperation following major surgery.
Delighted with how they are all looking, despite the late grass growth, and looking forward to eventually getting Magnum and Reuben back into work, and hopefully get Miss Scarlet at least long reining and perhaps even sat on now that she seems to have (at last) stopped growing at 7….how did that happen?!

The sun makes everything so much easier!
Lily is growing well, a bit too well as she’s just starting to pull Maisie down a little so weaning time looms ever close, hopefully she and Maisie will go in with Lowri and the twins over the next few days.

It seems an awfully long time ago that these two little miracles took everyone by surprise….life certainly hasn’t slowed down at all! Whilst these two will be staying (how could we ever separate them?) the time has come to think about when to wean them and Lily (certainly won’t be anytime soon but I think both Lowri and Maisie would benefit from a break at around the 12 month mark…..) and then there’s the question of whether we put Lowri back in with Hogan in the hope of breeding an equally nice foal to sell in the future, while Hogan is still here.
(And have scans every week until she foals in case there’s a twin hiding….much as this was exciting it’s not an experience I wish to repeat!)
Interested in opinions?

Possibly the fluffiest babies I’ve ever seen! The twins and mum Lowri are hopefully being joined by Maisie and the equally fluffy Lily today (I say hopefully because removing Maisie and Lily from the big field containing Magnum is likely to result in a huge Magnum sized strop 😂 and is likely to complicate what should be a relatively simple process by being Diva #1)
I’ll try to take some photos…..
Meanwhile a nice sunny photo of the very special trio!

Time to make the Merrick children their own fb page….open to suggestions for names!

Twin update:
All doing amazingly well and continue to defy the odds….Poppy is now considerably taller than first born Daisy, but she’s a completely different type altogether, long legged, fine and very elegant whereas Daisy is more compact.
Introduced slow feeders today in an attempt to slow Lowri down a little (🙈🤷🏻‍♀️😂) which will allow the babies more time to eat their share (she’s a typical CB part bred and lives for food!😂)
Once they’d decided the slow feeders didn’t mean a device designed to slow down the speed a monster from within would actually eat THEM, they tucked in as usual.
Making the most of the best couple of weeks weather we’ve had all Summer and leaving them out while we are full speed with the house.
Never time to get bored around here!

The twins are starting to moult their baby coats and it looks like Daisy is going to be even darker bay than she is already, I think Poppy will stay a brighter bay like her mum Lowri.

These 3 girls are providing plenty of distractions to passing motorists!
The twins continue to thrive, they are an absolute delight, and Lily is just awesome too!
Looking forward to the time they can go out together, at the moment the twins are still coming in at night, as Lowri needs the rest and as much food as she can possibly consume in any given period of time! (She does quite well in that aspect!)
Still pinching myself….

Feed time is their favourite time of day!
