My pure bred Caspian mare had just had the most beautiful little filly and I'm so excited! She wasn't due for another fortnight and last night didn't show any signs of imminent foaling.
Checked on her at midnight, gave her a carrot and cuddle and she was fine. Just been to give her breakfast and there was a gorgeous little filly, up and suckling, completely dry, meconium hanging out, mum still rugged up!
I was on a waiting list for 8 years to get a mare and I'm absolutely thrilled. Filly is by my own stallion who was so shy we really didn't think he'd ever manage to be a father!
I know she's not Arabian but just wanted to share some good news!
Off for a wash and a brew.
Rachelle
PS Other Half still with mare and foal - and him a seasoned farmer!!!

Hi Rachelle, congratulations on your caspian filly. I think this breed of pony really is stunning. You must post some pictures on the Forum for us all to see. How did you get into Caspians? They are quite rare are they not in this country?

Will post some pics if I can work out how to do it!!
Thanks for your congratulations - it's really nice to know that people get just as excited as me at a new arrival.
I got into Caspians when I was looking for a pony for my young daughter. They are much narrower than native breeds and have the most amazingly calm temperament. I took my stallion all the way from Lancashire to Bristol for the Nationals and he was as good as gold, stood all day outside the trailer with goats, mares, foals and children all round him. Got 2nd in the lead rein class (only had a saddle on 5 days before), 4th in the in hand class. Wonderful breed.
Our little filly's shoulder comes to midway up my thigh (I'm 5' 2") and again, she's as calm as anything. She's a really pretty dun colour and quite a little poppet. My first pure Caspian!
I keep offering them to the Roman re-enactment at Ribchester seeing as the Caspian was the original chariot horse but they keep ignoring my offer and using a Shire!!! |
