After some box rest, Tolly and Thena were let out into the paddocks today (Tolly had a minor tear in his suspensatory ligament, and Thena had done her back in during training). Thena was put out in the paddock with Dee Dee for some company, and showed that she is pretty close to fighting fit... In every sense of the word! It's a good thing poor Dee Dee is such a friendly girl ;D Both Olive Park ladies seemed to enjoy themselves out in the sun together which was lovely to watch. Couldn't help but cringe for the poor grass, though! Meanwhile, Tolly seemed happy enough to have a bit of a roll and a graze while ignoring his neighbours tearing up the paddock. He even seemed happy enough to come in for dinner at the end of the day. Finally, we were lucky to snap this moment between Silvio and Dee Dee. While I love competing them both, I can't help but be impatient to see what their future foals will turn out like! Moments like this seem to make the waiting harder lol. More pics to come

I love the color of Tolly's coat. It's so bright and eye catching.

@tori: Thank you very much! Silvio and Dee Dee are Trakehners and Tolly and Thena are Thoroughbreds. @victoria: Thanks! He's based off my horse irl. Love him to bits ;D @marie: Thinking of retiring both mares to breed by the end of October... Not too sure yet! I don't want to wait too long to breed them. Once I do, I will send you a message to let you know I would love to get a foal by your Feuertempel at some point. He is stunning!

I'm so, so happy to present a Trakehner colt recently purchased from Riding Farm Sleipnir. RFS Hercule Poirot is by Macgyver and out of Magdalena. I am absolutely thrilled with this little guy. A big thank you to Annabel from Riding Farm Sleipnir for allowing us to acquire this lovely horse. If he's anything like his parents, I'm sure he will be a superstar!

Gorgeous foals! Could I also be cheeky and ask for the poses too?

Absolutely I can send them to you guys! I'm flattered that you like them. I'll warn you that they are my first tries at making poses, so a few look a little unnatural, but some turned out not too bad. I'll message you on here.
