| Nov 2008 - more two day old pictures of Patrick just found! |
Foals and Foaling |
The added pics are from a phone, please forgive the quality |
We don't have births every year at Rose
Cottage (none in 2008 for example) but we had two
births in 2007
Music came first and then Patrick was born
6 weeks or so later, in June 2007
Just take a look at how they've come along
since then.
First, here lower down on this page are eight
stills of Patrick and Music taken during
2007 together with a few pictures of Domino in December since it
coincided with a visit from her former owner - they all appear below on this page.
at the bottom of this page are links to five video clips of
Domino and Patrick
Junior when he was just two days old!

Patrick and Music were weaned on 19th November,
2007 and took to it excellently. Kate thinks the foals may have just been keen to be out of the bad weather at that time; gale force winds from the North and accompanying rain were the order of the day then in Malin. Some pictures taken just before weaning have been added to the spread below. Pictures of Patrick, Music after weaning together with some of the other two recent in-comer youngsters on the yard (Harvey and Ivan), were also taken in early December 2007. Those pictures are to be found on our Behind the Scenes page. Click here to jump straight to that page of our web site, then scroll to the section entitled Winter Approaches.. |

| Did you know?
That even though we might keep records of their actual birthdays, some breeds, like Thoroughbreds and some other Registered breeds, are considered to have the same official birthday? This makes it easier for keeping racing, breeding and showing records. In the Northern Hemisphere, where Rose Cottage Riding School is located, their birthday is January 1st. In the Southern Hemisphere, eg in Australia and New Zealand, horses have their birthday on August the 1st.
If a statue in the park
of a war hero on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in
battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person was wounded in
battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of
natural causes. There are some different versions of this including
that if the statue shows the rider standing by his horse then the horse died
too. Some say it's all a myth but it applies to some of the statues
erected in America after the battle of Gettysburg and it applies to the
statue to the 3rd Marquis of Londonderry in the market square in Durham who
was wounded at the battle of Kulm in 1813. Anyone know of others where
it applies? |
