CNHP Dressage Show, July 29, 2006

Ken, Megan, Brianna and Absolut set off to the Central Nova Horse and Pony showgrounds in Nova Scotia on Saturday for the first ever CNHP Dressage show. The judge was Joan Russel from Ontario. It was a full show and had many riders throughout the levels and even 13 FEI rides. Megan and Absolut showed the FEI Junior level and had super marks and won the overall high point FEI cooler for the show!

Out For A Hack

Ken and Absolut, Jenny and Wiseman, and Megan on Wingar went for another morning hack today. The horses love to get out and walk and trot through the long fields and along the Mellish Pond Road.

Growing Foals!

The mares and foals are out in their big pasture every day. They are growing a lot!! They are very inquisitive and love to come for a chat!

breeding Information

We have three mares confirmed pregnant.

Verginia is in foal to Donnatelli
Vuzarma is in foal to Concorde
Florentina is in foal to Sandreo

Waltzelena was recently bred to Donnatelli.
We plan to breed Veganieta to Brentana II and transfer the embryo to a standard bred mare if all goes well.

Summer is here !

Summer is here and the horses are all on pasture. The wet weather has brought us lots of grass!!

Veganieta's filly now has a name !

Veganieta's filly will be called Bagatelli NPF. They are is shown here on the move. Every day the filly's trot looks more like her dam's.

Veganieta's filly shows her breeding

Veganieta's filly, yet to be named, is showing us the kind of movement that is expected from her blood lines. Not yet a week, old she is showing a trot with suspension and quickness that mirrors that of her mother.

Veganieta has a Donnatelli filly.

Veganieta had a Donnatelli filly eary to day ! Both are healthy and "Jazz" is being a very good mother.

The foals are now three weeks old.

We took some pictures that show the serious side of foals and some not so serious.

Foals are growing

Our two foals are now ten days old.

Foals are now one week old !

We are turning out the two new foals with their dams during the day.

Low Tech mare milker

On the advice of our vet daughter,Martha, we modified a 60cc dosing syringe to function as a mare milker. Simply cut the pointed end off the syringe and reverse the plunger.
Put the flanged end over the mares teat and pull back on the plunger. The milk flows into the syringe.

Use that beer bottle you emptied while waiting for the mare to foal with a lamb's nipple to feed the foal that critical first milk.

Waltzalina and Donatelli foal

More Foal Photos !

Flo's foal is three days old and was turned out for the first time today. Waskilina will go out side tomorrow.

Waltzlina has Donatelli colt

Waltzalina Jet Set/ Haarlem three year year old gave us a tall,fine boned colt yesterday evening. That was the second foal of the day. Both her and Florentina are first time mothers but are handeling mother hood like pros.

We say her start to foal on the foal monotor and were there for the birth. Foals get going in life very quickly and this one was no exception.

The Sandreo/Floristan (still no names for either) is filling out. He has the sleep-nurse thing well under control.

First Foal Ever Arrives at New Perth Farms

New Perth Farms had its first foal on Wednesday, April 26th ... Florentina had a beautiful colt last night by Sandreo ... During the night we were watching on our newly installed "Foal Cam" an agitated Waltzalina, two weeks over due but to our surprize this morning it was Florintina who foaled overnight thus explaining the agitation of Waltzalina ... all's well that ends well!
