Manicure, shower and massage for two of our mares yesterday as we moved them from one of our “virtual farm” paddocks to another.
Who is this rather handsome looking mare getting a hoof trim and wash by owner Kym Kearns?
It’s 26 year-old Isa Countessa (Krissy) the much loved dam of Sun Isa and so grandam of Flying Isa (the colt who won the Australasian 2yo Trotters Breeders Crown in 2011).
The bottom two photos are of my mare The Blue Lotus, whose pedigree was shown in the last blog. Her first foal took a lot out of her, and it has been a work-in-progress to get her condition and confidence back up. She’s feeling a lot better now that she’s got her figure back!

The Blue Lotus aka Lottie wants a bit more attention please!
Looking after your mares is such an important part of breeding. You cannot expect them to deliver unless you put the time, effort and nutrients into them – or make sure good people are doing so on your behalf.
Our mares have been very good to us, and in return we are good to them.
