Last week, Winnie's 6-month-old foal Daisy started her big long journey to her new home in Northern France. It all had happened quite fast in the end - a few phone calls between West Cork and France, and the journey was arranged for Daisy's move to an Irish Cob stud farm in Brittany, where she will be part of a small foal herd which will one day join the brood mare herd of the farm.
Of course, it was a bit sad to see Daisy go, but given the situation in Ireland at present, I am very pleased that it all worked out for Daisy this way and she has found a new purpose.
After three days travel, I finally received a phone call that Daisy had arrived well and was settling in already.
Again, Winnie got over the separation surprisingly fast - she called for a day, but then very quickly settled back into her quite life with Henry.
