I would you all to meet Kias baby brother Maesymor Amber Flash aka Faran.

He's a six month old Welsh d colt foal. Flaxen chestnut with three white socks and a roan leg

He travelled home like a pro and has been a star to handle.

At the sales after I bought him


Getting used to his big brother smell before they become field buds tomorrow, hoping him sleeping in Kia’s bedding will make him more likely to bond with him to help him integrate into the herd more smoothly and owning his stable lol he settled straight away

He’s beautiful, what a clever boy...... I wish you much luck with Him x

 

[HorseHelen]

Aww wow. A very worthwhile trip to Wales. Congrats!

 

[domane]

The sales where you WEREN'T going to buy anything?????

Congratulations, he's beautiful. Those markings are exactly what I'd choose. .. in fact he looks similar to William who I had a few years ago....

He’s lovely and I’m not surprised he just happened to find himself in your trailer.

 

[OwnedbyChanter]

Wow he is a beauty. I am truly pleased for you I know buying another would have been a really hard for you.

 

[MrC]

Thanks everyone. I was very emotional buying him but I saw him in the stables then when I saw him move I just knew.

He is a sweetheart to handle, very wary but he follows me round the stable and will lead and headcollar. Walked into the lorry then my trailer like a natural. Not phased not heard a peep out of him either

He has spirit and just ticks all the boxes. I’m hoping he will help ease my pain in a few weeks and give me a new life to focus on and to honour everything Kia has taught me x

@domane I was planning to go see two on the way home but I cancelled those viewings on Saturday

He looks and sounds lovely, he'll never take Kia's place but I think he'll make his own place in your heart very quickly.

I'm relieved to hear it wasn't you who paid £45,000 for the Sec C stallion!

Ahem in deed..what happened to leaving your cards in the hotel!! He is beautiful and I don't blame you one bit, I also would've brought him home

That was one AMAZING auction! It was actually hard for me to stay in my seat as the atmosphere was setting of my PTSD

Gorgeous animal honestly well deserved price tag

He will never replace my boy, he is irreplaceable but this wee man will give me someone to pour my heart and experience into he has character and is a good soul

 

[Bodshi]

What a little cutie. Hope the introductions go smoothly and he brings you much happiness

 

[MrC]

They haven’t actually

Kia was great with him to start with, grazing happily side by side but then the mares appeared in the field across and started shouting and then Kia got herd defensive with the wee man so started chasing him. He was never in danger to catch him, he’s like a greased whippet and Kia’s older now (thank god) but it was quite stressful for them both.

They calmed down and the wee man went exploring. I had to go do some errands somleft them and came back and all was good. Had to bring the wee man in as he went for a run and thought a gap in the hedge was a gap in the hedge then realised there was a fence and half hopped it he caught himself a little bit nothing major grazes.

However Kia got a seriously spanked botty tonight after he nearly squashed me into a gate trying to go for Faran. So he’s in the cow pen after getting a telling off over night with water and a haynet.

Kia is great until he can see his herd, hoping after a week or so he will get over this and just accept the wee man and they can get on as he will be getting gelded shortly and I can’t have Kia chasing him when he has wounds.

Some pics

Kia being an arse to him

 

[HorseHelen]

Gorgeous light for the photos. So lovely!

 

[domane]

I've had some good introductions and some truly awful ones too. Thankfully with the awful ones I was in a position to be able to rethink and have them alongside each other for a couple of weeks. Albi ran through a post and rail fence to escape my TB and got some quite nasty cuts! Weird because I'd never seen that side of my TB.

 

[domane]

Great pics, btw!!!

 

[orbvalley]

Beautiful pictures, absolutely brilliant. Hope you have many happy years & adventures ahead of you both xxx

 

[sophie33]

I love all the pictures, they are beautiful! But I especially like the one of him leaping in the air for joy while Kia completely ignores him and gets on with the real business - eating!

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

Fantastic pictures, what a beautiful little horse. What height do you think he may make?

I am not a bit surprised that he came home with you. How wonderful.

He’s to make between 14.2 and 15hh hoping he won’t go over that but in saying that he is about 13hh at the butt and he’s only 6months last week
