We expected just seven foals thisyear. The first was born on the5th May on our WeddingAnniversary so we have calledthat filly Fairytail Annie May.The second was born at exactlymidnight on the start of the 7thMay when we had a so calledsuper moon that night. Janettechose this colts name as that“Super Moon” It was a spooky night.

The Third foal was by Misthaven NorthernLight (We call her Flea) she is anAmerican Miniature and not a Shetland.This foal was again born at exactlymidnight between the 10th/11th May,I have called this filly Tineke,she is a very striking coloured bay withflashes of white. Again she is byFairytail Midas Touch. He is proving to beour best HT stallion consistently which iswhy we had many of our other HTstallions Gelded last year, to protectthe very best of breed.
4. Fairytail Loreen, Pi.The fourth foal to come was on the 20th May at 4am, we were well tired by then watching 24/7 for what wassupposed to be a short time but had now turned into a long time.We had only ran one stallion last year for just seven days and our first one was born on the 5th May, so we thought thatwe would be done foaling by the 15th May at the latest. How wrong we were. This next one to foal was Fairytail Lizzette, all went well again at that moment in time when I had just gone to sleepabout 1 hour before and after a long day into the night, I had gone to sleep at 3am that night to help Janette, she wakesup then, I had done that because the mare was restless, it is a very interesting time to be married in these difficult times.If I fail to keep a foal or mare alive when Janette is asleep, I would probably be murdered by her at this time so I do allI can and hope that I am still alive in the morning.
Seventh and last foal Fairytail Mika Sk out of Morjoy Nuisette Pi, 28th May 9am.all born alive after a very long month of watching 24/7, on video cameras from the stables, it is the only way to ensure no problems with these tiny ponies.
