The yearling fillies enjoying life.A hectic morning this morning our vet was booked for 9.00 to AI a thoroughbred mare and before the knowledgeable of you out there gasp in horror (for the uninformed AI is illegal in the TB stud book) the insemination was to a Connemara. The mare in question has been a bit disappointing as a breeder of race horses so I have given her to my son and his girlfriend to breed a competition horse. Oh how I wish we could AI all the TB mares! No more trips up the motorway in the horse box (well a lot fewer anyway) it would be bliss. Back to this morning once the mare was finished with we then micro chipped the last TB foal, Tenebrae's filly who was definitely not impressed and needed a strong man to restrain her luckily there was one on hand! That done we loaded up Teal (Welsh Mountain) for a quick trip down the road to be covered by my friends stallion Forlan Honey Wizard.
Unfortunately Rhythm Stick isn't going to run on Saturday but it wont be long now before he makes his debut. Tinshu runs tomorrow at Doncaster she is the 4yr old out of Ring of Esteem, who has a striking Sakhee filly this year. Tinshu is amazingly consistent and fingers crossed she will be in the money again tomorrow.
