It has come to light recently...despite his best efforts at bluffing...that Paul has trouble telling the weanlings apart. Now Parisien is dark fawn so he is okay with her, but the others are more problematic...can't quite see the issue myself...but according to Paul "they all look the same"... males and females...whites and light fawns...!
Unable to resist...to test out my bluffing theory...as we were leaving for The Futurity (after Paul had loaded Roma) I casually remarked : "doesn't Lucie look like Roma in the paddock" The car came to a halt... and despite my admission of 'wind up'...I was made to check the contents of the trailer...theory confirmed!

Tomorrow is the long awaited day...Finian, Kenzie and Noah are to be delivered to Bev and Andy in North Yorkshire. The question is... should I let Paul load the trailer? I have cottoned on that his other 'look-a-likeys' for him are Kenzie and Explorer. Now, whilst I would not be best pleased if the confusion occured...after all we are anticipating that Explorer will make an elite herdsire for us...I know that Bev would be even less impressed to receive the 'pouffing machine' instead of the lovely Kenzie!

I should actually have been in bed this afternoon, instead of on my hands and knees outside taking head shots. I have been working a couple of night shifts (including tonight)...the first shifts I have done since January (too busy)...and the same weekend that the fencer decides to turn up... the one that was actually due in January...more sleep deprivation! It will be worth it when the girls get to use the new paddocks I am sure.
Really lovely photos, Barbara. Bev and Andy will be very pleased with their new family for sure! Take care. Shirley & Robbie
ReplyDeletePS: get some sleep!
How on earth could he mix those up, you best keep a close eye on things tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he needs to spend more time in the paddock...a little more poo-picking perhaps?!
ReplyDeleteWell the're all beautiful....however thats the only thing they have in common....Does Paul need some new glasses.....I wonder......Good Luck for tomorrow......its a Happy/Sad Day.....ah !.....Jayne
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for tomorrow! They are all very beautiful - but also very different!!
ReplyDeleteBut Kenzie has that fine shiney nose, how could you mix that up, and Fin is so cuddly and golden, a one off, and Noah is so cute and wee, no one like him. Nah, I'm sure we'll get the right boys tomorrow.
