its a curious term “unpacking” which is the giving birth terminology for Alpaca if you didn’t know… but “unfolding” is the term used for horses when foals are first born because well, they are definitely kinked up in the womb.

this is the first few shots of the very first ever Draught foal born to Kensmyth – enjoy…

  yes that’s the placenta!

yet to unfold

oh boy hes going to be big – his mum is nearly 17.2 hh and just look at those cannon bones !

place your bets now but I reckon he will make 18hh or thereabouts!

well as Mum says – its “that” time – anytime, anyplace, anywhere… birds and bees and Alpacas for 2020 !

inside, outside, with help, without help – that’s Alpacas for you!

so sad to wave good bye to hubby and son Ollie with the ponies recently… off to stud. as my Mum says “its that sex time of year isn’t it|?” yup – off to stud they went to super experienced stud owners now I wonder where that could be?

looking stunning just from the field… took these just before loading them up all primed ready for the stallion…

can barely wait to see what they produce next year for us – marvellous ponies

Wow – what happened its June? So booked up but managed to fit in some late Husbandry skirting courses later this month on the proviso that we are on cria and foal watch… meantime what vibrant colours appearing…
