Havalil Faith - a golden Sporthorse

Now that everyone has had time to settle into the new place our human has decided to do a bit of a shuffle around. My daughter Amari has gone in with some new friends to help her gain independence. Meanwhile I have rejoined my own mum.
Our human does plan to have us all together again but not until after the pitter patter of little hooves have hit the ground!

Gosh for those who have been around for a while will remember this. It came up on our human's memories, on this day 7 years ago she was sleeping in the stable with to help nurse me through my injury. Back then she didn't know if I would survive it. 7yrs later I'm doing far better than anyone could have expected.
Infact today I'm at day 242 of my second pregnancy! 100 days till the average "due date", 78 days till the "safe zone", 112 days till day 354 which was the day I had my first foal Amari last year!

Sorry we haven't been active on here lately but a massive change has happened over the last two weeks. We have officially moved, all of us! Our human, her cows, sheep and ofcourse us horses! We have all moved on site to the property our human manages the horses at! I have a small paddock to myself until I go into the main farm to foal down. Amari is in with her grandma in the paddock opposite me and right outside our human's new home! The other animals besides them.
Our human has just finished moving everything and making sure the lease land and her old homes where left in good condition. It was a massive move! But now she can sit back and relax now that is all done.

On another note I am currently at day 233 in my pregnancy meaning that we are 87 days away from the safe date (320 days) However I'm 121 days away from the foaling length of my first pregnancy. It will be intresting to see when and what I have this year!

Day one done and dusted. Amari was really well behaved for her first solo show with hardly any practice in the lead up! She got three 2nds, Hack foal to mature 158cm or over, best Head, and best paced and Manners.

Amari is washed, float and car are packed. Ready for a weekend of showing!

My daughter is growing! Tomorrow she gets her feet tiedy up ready for her first solo shows this weekend. Not quite sure how well behaved she will be as our human hasn't had much daylight after work to do much practicing!

This has devastated our human. She is a part of the Windsor Team and has huge respect for the Schick family especially for poor Jimmy. For him she spent sleepless nights trying to nurse his foal Ninja to health. Now he has joined Ninja who crossed the bridge before him to welcome him. Prayers that Rod continues to make positive progression in his recovery and Oli's injuries heal speedily and completely.

In loving memory of Jimmy Schick and on behalf of the Schick Family

So my human hasn't seen me in 2 weeks! Ever since she did the switch and swapped me for my mother and daughter she hasn't had the chance to see me. (Don't worry I have had a great team of people making sure I've been fed and checked!) Today my human visited. Boy had I missed her.
We had some cuddles in the paddock and a groom. Then she took me for a walk next door to see how much I weigh. Unlike my mother I refused to stay on the scales long enough for my human to take a photo of the weight. So you will just have to trust her that it was 502kg! That's 174kg lighter than my mother the last time she was weighed! Our human wasn't quite expecting that big of a different. Yes I might be lighter b***d than my mother (she almost a hunter while I'm more of a hack type) but I am taller than her!
On the trip I saw a really funny looking "horse" (Murray the mule) and 4 weanlings that are half siblings to the foal I'm carrying. One in each possible color, a bay, a buckskin, a Chestnut and a palomino (going grey).
On that note I'm currently at day 205 of this pregnancy. 95 days till I am considered at safe date, 138 days till "due date", 151 days if I go the same length as I did with Amari!
