I arrived back in NZ to the most glorious spring weather and sunny blues skies each day.  The QNZH team of horses are all back on track having wintered well thanks to the help of Adrienne,  who did a great job whilst I was away.

This weekend a surprise package was delivered, in the form of a perfect little filly foal .  I was about to take mum Sophie off to Seaton Park Stud , where they provide  professional 24 hour supervision for mares about to foal, but got  caught out.  Mum  Sophie still had her winter rug on, so the filly had to slither through all the leg straps ,  but all is well and one very well sized healthy little girl is basking in the sunshine. She is a perfect tiny replica   of her mum  with identical  colour and markings.  This little filly  is a 3/4 sister to That's Smart in USA and Quincey in UK .
