So now Picara and Viva are covered at the same day, Viva's first time and she did well, she has been flirting with Indigo all weekend but I matched her with Artico. Hopefully both her and Picara will both get confirmed and then we will have the same due date!

Here are the pretty young girly girls.

And this is how the Vikinga stallions live, everyone is on grass as long as it lasts and not many stallions live like this in Spain. Yesterday I had Artico and Hidalgo grazing side by side in the same pasture, they are good friends also because Hidalgo is not at all macho, he acts like he is a gelding so there is no rivalry. I could also have Llamativo and Hidalgo together, but Fiero and Indigo has to stay separate as they are territorial. Everyone has their own personality and as long as you place and manage everyone according to their personality we can all live side by side in harmony. Here is my beautiful Tico in the big field under the trees. To me it doesn't get much more beautiful than that.

And I am busy selecting new horses for sale, I have a extended list and I am adding them to the homepage and facebook. Here's a pretty little PRE palomino.

So Saba and Judith has just landed safe in Sweden with their new owners, here is Saba with her new very happy person, good luck to both of you!   

 

Picara is recovered with Fiero, I have never seen a foal of the quality of Olé, these babies inspire breeding! Nova by Picara and Fiero is 1 year old now and a sharp girl, she sends her 3 year old sisters to wait behind in line when its time to eat, so smart. Llamativo is the only stallion I lead around in the halter, he is a sweety and so agile doing tricks all day long. He wants to be close always and he follows me around like a dog, very sweet. These F-babies are  special and grow roots in your heart, the only problem I won't be able to keep them all because I 

Judith's last day with her sisters Viva and Nova.   

I was going to wait and breed Viva until next year but I really want a Artico-baby so I am considering covering her. Viva is a top filly and she is very tall already, she might not grow so much more if I cover her now but that's ok. 

And Artico is a daddy once again, this time in Norway congratulations to owners of this gorgeous filly! There was a 25% possibility to get the most precious genetics and they got lucky as they scored and got a perlino!  She's an absolute beauty and I'm so proud of Chula and Artico. The weather is very cold in Norway, they had snow just after foal was born and she has a great little rug to keep warm.     

Meanwhile back at the ranch we are grazing away the lush green grass and flowers, spring is the best time for us!

Here are the boys in the pastures!

Preparing for our two ladies Saba and Judith to travel to Sweden, Saba had her teeth done today and she is now fit and ready to move to her new owner. it is never an easy procedure to issue the international travel documents TRACES, add some virus to spanish byrocracy and you can dance flamenco on top on pretty much anything! 

Ciao ciao, have a great week!
