Hi after a little persuasion from Robbie i thought that we would just show every one Truffle's new foal. You will probably recognize Truffle if you have been with the Burghley for a few years she was my first pony and we haven't really been able to part with her over the past 7 years after much success, and last year we decided we would put he in foal along with my new horse Donna Melissa. They both went in foal to Garuda K a Trakehner stallion (which you can look at on the woodcroft stud website) that my instructor rides. Truffle had her foal on the 22nd of april at 3.45 in the morning, we were woken up at 4 by a phone call from sally lister ( Burghleys show jumping instructor who runs the stud) and i don't think i have ever got out of bed so fast at that time of day and me and mum drove down to the stud where we found a very cute, soggy, wobbly foal and an exhausted Truffle. Now she is about three weeks old she is very friendly and just loves to be scratched all the time but we don't have a name yet though!!! Now we are expecting the second foal any time soon!!!
