Blue Roan Filly carrying Mushroom born 28/03/2025
WOW!! What an incredible start to foaling!! After watching Uptown Girl for some time, Belinda who is not due to foal until 2nd April, decided she could not wait any longer and delivered this stunning filly in the field on 28th March. I am not quite decided on a name as she is extremely special being Olaf's first foal! She is an extremely unique colour being Blue Roan, however as Olaf is Homozygous Mushroom (Dun), she also carries the Mushroom gene and with the colouring in her tail and ears, she is most certain to be dilute. An unusual but unique combination in addition to the most incredible pedigree. What a cracker she is.
Courellis Snow Angel - Retained
Dam: Wenlockedge Snow Princess
Sire: South Sands Rhubarb
Mushroom Dun Filly born 01/04/2025
April fool! This absolute sweetheart made quite the entrance!! Princess ALWAYS fully bags up, however on this occasion, she had a small bag and was still one week off her due date therefore was not under camera. Our little filly, yet to be named, was born in the freezing cold night and was dummy, therefore she was stone cold when we found her on the Tuesday morning with barely any energy and was completely limp and going down hill. Whilst waiting for the vet, I milked Princess (with an enormous fight) and syringed as much colostrum as possible until the vet came. Very luckily and evident that she had suckled at some point before I found her, which I think helped save her! A huge battle but safe to say that this precious soul is now fighting fit, well and super strong and sassy. Princess is retiring this year and of course, my superstar boy Rhubarb passed in January 2025, therefore this special little girl is to be retained.

Blue Dun & White Colt born 10/04/2025
A wonderful easy foaling and before midnight too!! Uptown Girl is the most wonderful mother with her gorgeous boy but loves to show him off in the field. The beautiful pair move so synchronised together and are memorising to watch together. This super boy was born with one leg in each corner and his movement for such a young foal is perfection. A show pony for sure.

Blue Dun & White Colt born 10/04/2025
I had just got out of the shower & put on my clean pyjamas after foaling Uptown Girl when I looked at the camera & seen Diva looking unsettled so I watched her for a few more minutes before I put my clothes back on and made my way to the yard. Diva had foaled on her own by the time I got there & was in a bit of pain after a fast foaling but after some TLC & encouragement getting latched on, Diva & her stocky colt foal are doing great. This special boy is my last Rhubarb foal & is an incredibly special boy. He is strong set like his Sire & already sports the sweetest temperament, as his Dad did and always passed on. What a wonderful legacy to his sire this super colt is.
Courellis Mayfair
Dam: Threapwood Miranda
Sire: Somahouse G.T
Blue Dun & White Colt born 23/04/2025
Only 2 weeks overdue, 2 extra weeks of sleepless nights & concern, however this super smart filly was worth it. Miranda foaled herself in between checks (of course!!), however what a clever girl bringing her first baby in to the world on her own. Miranda has taken motherhood all in her stride & is one proud, proud Mum.
Mayfair is a big foal & a big character already. She is very confident & full of energy. Mayfair will be retained for showing & I cannot wait to show her off in due course.
