Yay foaling has officially finished here at the Mill with this little person just freshly out the oven.
I’m absolutely delighted every one this year has been straightforward but even more delighted that I’m finally going to get some sleep.
Photos and updates at a later date. I’m off to bed. Over and out 💤 💤 💤

I’m posting this one completely out of order because this is our penultimate foal of 2026.
By Timberland Limited Edition out of the superstar that is Halstock Orla this strong girl is just four days old.
A straightforward birth at a reasonable 8pm and it’s a first here for the stud because this filly is strawberry roan.
I can’t wait to watch as she changes coat.
We’ve not thought of a name yet so suggestions welcome and absolutely no theme to follow with sisters named Eva, Charlotte, Hokey Cokey, Orianna and Ruadh so far …..

Almost three years ago Shallochmill Whoopee started losing weight, had terrible diarrhoea and colic episodes. Then followed two years of steroids, gastroscope, f***l transfaunation, many changes of feed, worm counts, every gut supplement going, hours of tlc before it was suggested to test for sand in her gut. Another 8-9 months of psyllium husk supplements, more steroids, regular worm counts and checks for sand, some box rest,a very regimented diet and finally Whoopee was sand and drug free and happy.
So this picture below is one I never thought I’d see. A very happy Whoopee who is absolutely besotted by her daughter Shallochmill Bespoke aka Bee.
By Timberland Limited Edition out of Shallochmill Whoopee( Halstock Yahoo) this filly looks happy and healthy with her vet check showing her Igg absolutely perfect meaning mum has produced good quality colostrum for her little one.
Happy days. More pics to follow.

I’m losing track of which foals I’ve introduced so far but I’m happy to report I’m well over half way to finishing foaling now.
Last spring I asked old man Sprite to breed me a c**t to follow in his footsteps and I’m delighted to report he’s done that…..twice.
So here’s Shallochmill Rolex who is out of first time mum Buxted Lucy Lockett (Kerswell Morello)
Lucy popped this little man out with no problems at all and is now very chuffed with him as am I.
Photos up to today when he turns one week old.

So after watching another mare get up and down a few times in the early hours on the day of our local Ayr show I was all set to let Stuart take his Clydesdale himself but in the couple of hours it took to get ready the mare had settled and all was quiet.
We shot to the show, arriving last but in time, did our class and championship then shot straight back home all the time with the camera on.
We needn’t have worried because all was quiet when we returned.
Sitting watching the same mare later on I noticed another girl wandering off on her own to the far side of the field.
Sure enough Shallochmill Haile had decided to jump the queue and chose to try to hide behind our cow, Frankie to sneak her foal out in the dark.
Frankie 🐄 wanted to steal it but otherwise all was straightforward.
Carrying on the theme of runners or athletes it was Elspeth Crawford who googled the track and field athlete Amarachi P**i so meet Shallochmill P**i, a filly by show winner Jambarrie Luigi out of Highland show junior champion Shallochmill Haile.
My first great grandchild this one was always going to be a keeper ❤️

Introducing the fifth foal to be born at the Mill this year, Shallochmill Rhonan.
Out of my homebred girl Shallochmill Little Ellie(Kerswell Sprite) and by Timberland Limited Edition(Kerswell Nutcracker) this little man is going to stay and be run on as a future stallion all being well.
I bought Timberland Limited Edition as a yearling, he then ran two summers with a good friend Rhona Hyslop better known for her Carrick Highland Ponies. Rhona fell in love with Ed and purchased him but it was always our intention to use him, Rhona had even earmarked Little Ellie for him when she was a yearling.
When Rhona fell ill Ed came back to me at a time I really didn’t need any more boys so he’s off to another stud to keep busy.
Named after her Rhonan is very chunky, looks to have everything in the right place, is going to be an interesting blue dun and of course carries the different bloodlines of Ed and of my best boy Sprite.
When Ellie stops hiding him away I’ll post some more pics…..
Photo at 6 days old.

I’ve a lot going on just now between big horses, new foals, foal watch, etc so not much time for updates. Currently we have five healthy foals but we’re not finished yet.
So here is a glimpse of the first batch of babies and I’ll post full descriptions when I get a minute.

From having just one foal for weeks I ended up with another three within 24 hours ! Thankfully all foalings were pretty much straightforward although I’m sure my blood pressure is through the roof.
I’ll introduce the first one next but here is number two Shallochmill Milky Way my first foal by Jambarrie Lion King and out of Shallochmill Pic N Mix(Eiger Bertie)and what a foal he is 😍
Born at 4.30am he popped out straight, strong and ready to go and he hasn’t stopped since.
Video taken this morning at 28 hours old.

No better way to start the day…..
