16/6/07 So Scary...

Just 3 weeks old yet another increase in headcollar size was necessary, her quarters are at mouse’s stifle now. She is still coping very well, feeding and resting as all babes do. And oh, so friendly and inquisitive, loves her ears being massaged and can be scratched all over.

Scarily she manages to get a remarkable amount of speed up in the stable and has already perfected canter pirouette and is now practicing courbettes which are little rears followed by a leap in the air. No wonder the surgeon doesn’t like to watch, for this is where all his work and our prayers could be unravelled.... Mouse is a bit more fed up, so we need them both to be fit to move at the end of next week to the specialist stud in Newmarket which should be a bit more appropriate for her.
