Our Stud - 2003 foal
|
|
Northwood Rose was due to foal in
mid-late May. Disaster struck on 28th April when she
prematurely delivered a dead colt. We were devastated!
Post mortem indicated no infectious cause - it appeared there had been
a separation of the placenta - cause unknown.

This picture of Little Macha was
taken just 3 weeks before her surprise foaling! Why didn't I
spot it? Put it down to a touching belief in the accuracy of
scanning. She wasn't in foal!

Indigo Diamond Surprise (by Alice's Diamond
Slipper) was born at 9.15 am on Wednesday 30 April, 2003. It was
the quickest and easiest birth imaginable, and Little Macha (we call
her Portia) is proving to be the wonderful mother her last owner
assured us she was! Surprise leads her a merry dance!
