Our pregnant Dales pony mare has had a filly foal, my wife has decided she's going to be called Fairy Rose (it was her turn to name, I named the last filly!)

The last filly I named Beeswing, she's now a very chunky three-year old.

Here's little Rosie and her mother

Thank you, Winterwulf - mum and filly are beauties!  :-*

And Beeswing - very beautiful name, too!

All the best to all of you.  :)

Beeswing was a famed 19th century racehorse in the north-east of England, immortalised in tune by a noted Tyneside fiddler of the time, James Hill - here's an example of it being played off Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8nktZv4TN8 , though of course also a classic Richard Thompson song.

Lovely name for her...............also Wizz Jones and RT ref. are you a closet Folky ?   ;D..I have been a huge Folk Music fan from a very young age....i went to Cambridge Folk Festival as a 17 year old (much to the amusement of my mates) for some reason none of them wanted to come with me  :o...so i went on my own and attended many other Festivals after that,no longer able to attend Festivals any more (67 years old now) and falling to bits as mentioned in MR thread about attending gigs..Also loved pic. of your horses. 8)..

I'm an open folkie and a child of folkie parents ,  raised on the likes of Steeleye Span, Morris On, and the Albion Band - they used to play a C60 copy of Morris On in the car on long journeys or at least the first side which cut off before "Cuckoo's Nest". They used to only put the other side on when they thought me and my sister were asleep but it didn't work and they had a nasty shock one day when we started singing "Give me a girl that will wriggle and will twist, at the bottom of the belly lies the cuckoo's nest"
