1st October

Right on her due date, Dolly has delivered a very cute filly by the Ryans’ young stallion Fiji (Florencio x Harvard).  Dolly is a maiden mare, but has taken to motherhood brilliantly.  Despite Dolly’s diminutive size, the filly is quite tall and strong, and has a very pretty head.  She has a wonderful mix of bloodlines for dressage, with Florencio being a World Champion in Young Horse classes and Medallion and Salute both being prolific producers of FEI horses.  Fiji himself is just starting to compete and has already amassed a very impressive record in the dressage arena.  Here are a few photos of Cooramin Fairytale (Folly), taken at three hours of age, just as the sun came up.
