Cleo arrives - Caesar's daughter is now above suspicion too



As promised, pictures of Cleo - by Julius Caesar from Olive Bromac (Holmes Hanover).


We went to visit her at Graeme Lamb's the day after she was born. She is nicely coloured with that dark marking along her spine. Like the other JC horses she is a fine looking, tall filly who will probably take a while to catch up with her long legs.


Her Mum is proud but open to contact and Vanetta was able to stroke Cleo's nose immediately, When we took nephews and neighbours' kids up to see Cleo on Sunday her curiosity was apparent in overcoming any sense of shyness or reliance upon mum.


With Dolly not being in foal, we won't have any new foals on the ground next season. However, given we have taken ownership of Laura's (deceased dam of Sophie) 5yo daughter, who is to go straight to be broken in; have Rain (Knight Rainbow-Olive Bromac) planned to be broken in too later in the year and Bella to go into full work for the Spring along with the three new fillies to come home, I guess that will be enough.
