8 Maids a-Milking ?

Or perhaps Mares and Foals; a little tentative link but it was raining and they are just down the lane.

So here are eight of my friends who the dogs and I visit on a regular basis.

 

 

Here is Dirty Girl with this year's foal who is still suckling whenever possible - that is when he isn't running and jumping around the fields.

 

 

Now we have Apple Cheeks, Grey the Bully and Mule.

 

 

 

This is the star of the show, Whiskery Bob's Mum. So named because the first time we saw her she had the most friendly whiskery foal we had ever seen who we named Whiskery Bob, hence Whiskery Bob's Mum. She has had a new foal every year for the last five years, and is now carrying the next. Here are Bob Four and Bob Five; the latter is also still suckling but Bob Four is now fully independant and just as friendly and talkative as his Mum. 

 

 

As an added extra today I have a small film that shows what a wonderful girl and mother she is,

with her unusual eyes - one blue and one brown.
