Bragging again; Another homebred baby under saddle

I have had a lovely week. On Tuesday I picked up my lovely Clydie filly from the breaker and saw a youngster that I had bred (and sold) take his first steps under saddle and yesterday I drove over to Wellington and saw my stallion's first foal under saddle for the first time. I have seen photos and a little video but yesterday was the first time I had seen him 'in the flesh' and it was wonderful. He's a 6yo and Kim bought him off me when he was two years old and broke him in herself. She has done a lovely job and it is clear that they share a very special bond. Kim is in her last year of nursing and is struggling to find the time and money to have a horse and is facing selling her pride and joy. I am just about as sad as she is as she has given Malteser the most fantastic four years and clearly the horse adores her.

Here are some photos - I hope you guys like him. He's out of my lovely old Irish Sport Horse mare and by my little Arab/Stationbred stallion.

Kim sold Malty within 48 hours of advertising him. I knew he would sell fast but wow, headspin fast! He has gone to a lovely home with a woman who used to event at advanced but now has a young family and wants a nice young horse for dressage and show hunter. She has a lovely small property with all weather, stables and a flash truck - he's going to be very spoiled. Kim is going over this weekend coming to see him. His new mum understands how hard it was for her and apparently they all cried the day he went to his new home, including the owner of the livery where he has been living for the last 3 years. Awww.

I did, twice! He has two full siblings (Rafferty and Liath), a half sister and another half sibling on the way. I am thinking I will repeat the cross one last time this spring (mare is 20 years old now) coz I am so thrilled with the result :)

Thanks guys :cloud9:
