Nu händer det en del (men jag har ont om tid att skriva). Förutom att vi jobbar på gården eller förbereder för flytten (vilket tar det mesta av min tid) så har Pepper har fått en son. Det är gotlandsrusset som var på betäckning förra året som födde denna fina kille 24/5. Han ser pigg och glad ut! Är nyfiken på hur han utvecklas med åren.
There is a lot of things happening right now (but I lack the time to write about it). Except all the work at our farm and preparation for moving there (that takes a lot of my time) Pepper got a son. It is the Gotland pony that got covered with him last summer that gave birth to this sweet boy May 24. He looks so healthy and happy! I am curious what he is going to be like growing up.

Förutom att Percy fölade på lördagen åkte förra stoet hem och ett nytt anlände i lördags. Den här tjejen är en korsning mellan arab och quarter. Som vanligt blev det inte mycket aktion även om de sprang runt lite i hagen. Pepper ledsnade först och lät damen springa ett varv själv.

Pepper’s new girlfriend
Pepper got a new girlfriend at Saturday and his old one returned home. This girl is a cross between Arab and Quarter. As usual there wasn’t much action but the cantered around the pasture a little. Pepper gave up first and let the lady have a lap of her own.
All pictures are from their first meeting.

Eftersom familjen blev magsjuk i helgen har det inte blivit mycket häst på sistone – särskilt inte mycket jobb. Idag var jag på benen och fick med mig yngste sonen så vi lekte med hästarna i hagen. Först ville alla äta, men vissa var mer entusiastiska än andra… Tror det blev ett bra jobb med tanke på förutsättningarna.
As the family got stomach sick this weekend there hasn’t been much done with the horses lately. Today I was ok so I brought the youngest son and we played with the horses in the pasture. First everyone wanted to graze but some got more happy to play than others… But, think they all got a good job anyway.
David used my phone to photo – have to look at those and se what he caught.
Bunny didn’t play much so this was the only “action” shoot that i got.

Why did she blink here? (Whizzy)

Whizzy is a horse with a lot of speed!

Under ett besök fick jag frågan hur Pepper är med ston. Så här i efterhand, när jag tänkt lite på det kan jag nog beskriva det bättre.
Ofta börjar han med att visa upp sig lite, svävar i traven , kröker nacken, gnäggar. Låter jag sto och hingst gå på var sida staketet så är det snabbt lugnt. De tittar lite, men snart står troligen Pepper och betar – även om han finns i närheten och spanar lite.
När läget känns avspänt, stoet har hunnit se sig omkring och jag släpper ihop sto och hingst blir det ofta ett par varv i galopp, lite skrik, några frambensslag och kanske någon bakutspark. Men, Maria som vill fotografera brukar gnälla över att det är för lungt – hon får inte tillräckligt med tillfällen att få tjusiga bilder, de lugnar ofta ner sig för fort. Sedan kommer det att pippas, slås med bak eller framben, tas ett varv eller så lite då och då. Men inte massor.
Stona som har kommit har sällan varit i brunst – ägarna har åkt ett par dagar innan de förväntat sig brunst. Därmed har jag inte heller sett betäckning under första dagen. Utan de går där, är lite nyfikna, kollar in varandra lite. Men, mer än så är det inte. Det är också därför jag låter Pepper gå med stona – han tar det lugnt. Låter dem landa på nya stället och uppvaktar dem lite. Märker han senare att stoet verklingen är högbrunstig men ändå inte riktigt “släpper till” kan han säga till lite, jaga henne om så behövs. Men, då kan de ha gått tillsammans en vecka. Och hanlyssnar fortfarande om de säger från.
How Pepper behaves with mares
During a visit I got the question how Pepper behave with mares. I started to think about it a little more after visitors had left.
Often he starts with showing of, trot with high lift, bend the neck, neigh. If I have mare and stallion with a fence between it cools down fast. They look at each other but soon Pepper go and eat some grass. Even if he still is close by and keep an eye on the new lady.
When they feel a little more relaxed, the mare has looked around and I let the mare and stallion meet they often take of for a lap or two in canter, they scream a little, kick a little with front or hind legs. But, as Maria has complained about several times when she has tried to get nice photos – they calm down quickly. She don’t get many chances to get nice photos with some action. They still go back to scream now and they, canter a little, maybe kick, but it just for short times.
The mares that have arrived have rarely been in heat – the owners have arrived a few days before the day they think they will get in heat.Therefore there is no breeding during the first day. They are a little curious of each other, look at each other, but that is it.That is also why I keep Pepper with the mares. He gives them time to check the new place out. But, when he noticed later on that the mare is very much in heat but still don’t stand still for mounting he can push her. He has been hunting mares if he feels that is needed. But then the mare might have been with him for a week or more. And he still listens to the mares.
Pepper and the first mare of 2017 on their second date. They did only run like this for a few laps, then slowed donw, maybe ran a lap more after some time and then another one but mostly they did no nothing.

När vi hade besök i lördags passade Pepper på att visa upp sig ordentligt. Och jag hade faktiskt med mig kameran!
When we had visitors last Saturday Pepper showed off. And I brought the camera!
