Baby Fever! Volta and Nita gave birth! We're so excited to announce our two of the three expected new additions to the stable: a bay filly and a chesnut colt But... there's more: We need some help with deciding on the barn-and show names of these sweeties, feel free to leave some ideas in the comments !
It was the 9th of Januar. Delicate snowflakes were falling from the sky, playfully twirling as if they were dancing. The golden first rays of sunlight their way through the courtains behind fogged windows. A peaceful morning… Except for Arthur, the vet here at skydragon stables. The night before, at around 2 o' clock Volta started showing the first signs of going into labour. The mare who was about to give birth to her first foal, paced nervously back and forth in her stable when the blond-haired young man arrived; accompanied by my sister, Sarah. They both entered the stable and Sarah kneeled next to the mare, who had lied down in the meantime. She comforted her and stroked her head, this was going to be her first foal so they were not quite sure how it would go. The birth took hours as the foal was facing the wrong at first and would not turn. After the blood and sweat finally came the tears... of hapiness luckily: soon she rose, wobbling on her delicate long legs she found her mother. We decided with some help of you all that her name will become: Duchess! A few days later Nita also gave birth, without any trouble, to a pretty chesnut colt: Zenzero (ginger in Italian)

A rather unsettling Discovery 13/01/3019 On a trailride we suddenly stumbled upon 2 poor Islandic's left behind and tied to a tree, we took them with us and our vet examined them… Luckily the event happend very recently so the ponies were doing good and got there power back after a good night rest and a good meal. I've begged my sister to keep them but she wants to put them up for adoption. We're looking for someone who can provide a good, loving home for them. The bay Tobiano who we nicknamed Tony is a gelding and the grey dun is a mare, Pepper. If you're interested in adopting one of them or both you can place your application in the comments of our adoption thread link. We will open up a small rescue center soon .

15/06/2019: Foals on the loose Now that the foals are 6 months old and succesfully weaned, we assumed -wrongly- that the days of them trying to break out were finally over.
I was one of the only staff members present that afternoon, because most of our team members left off to a local breed competition. I was having a stroll with our new stable dog Horatio (wich we recently adopted from Anna Foster ) when I suddenly noticed a lot of noise from the foal barn... Little Imperya had opened her stall and somehow managed to not only help her buddy's escape, but open the barn door as well. This resulted in the three little rascals galopping to one of the northern forest roads. I needed to capture them but sadly I don't have my drivers licence yet, tacking up a horse from the pasture would take to long and my bysicle wheels would get stuck in the dutsy and muddy road. While i was thinking what to do, I noticed Horatio was gone, sprinting up to the foals and herd them together as easily as they were but some small sheep, allowing me to get some ropes and carrots and safily get them to the barn again.
We recently participated in the trillium winter breed show here at ES, feel free to cheer us on and check out our submissions!
