Caoimhe isn’t great at photo shoots, but we managed a few of her in her new UberSnug Terrain rug, ready for the rain tonight and the wind up on our hill 🍀

New home! 🍀

On Monday we wished all the best to Bria, off on her new life journey with a great family in Levin, the same family who took Triple Star Celtic Diamond (Aine) three years ago, now excelling in show jumping. Bria was Cosmo and Lily’s first foal together, and she is already sorely missed here. We can’t wait to follow her new journey.

Bria wanted to show how much she loves her Dynavyte Microbiome Support, so much that she stole my hat! 🍀

Lily and Cosmo’s foal has a name! 🍀

Her paddock name is Bria, a Celtic name that blends power and elegance. My beautiful one.
Her full name is Celtic Trinity, meaning past, present and future.

Caoimhe (pronounced Queeva) loves her new UberSnug rug 🍀 “It’s comfy to sleep in and mum can see me wherever I am in my paddock!” Yes, it’s a little big, but she’s a very fast-growing wee girl!

It is a filly! 🍀

Finally, 20 days overdue, Lily surprised us with a daytime foaling, a first for Celtic Stud NZ! Her HorseSafe foaling alarm and Equine Eye cameras meant help was there at just the right moment. Welcome to the world, Celtic Darach (Dara).

Lily is taking pregnancy well 🍀 She’s in her last trimester, when she gets a bit over it, and she’s moved paddock. With her past foals she has always wanted to be on her own for the last 6 to 8 weeks. Looking absolutely fabulous.

We have a name! 🍀

Her paddock name is Dara (Dáire, pronounced DAH-rah), rooted in the Old Irish word for "oak tree" or "wise". Her full name is Celtic Darach, pronounced DAR-akh. In Celtic tradition the oak tree was sacred, a symbol of strength, endurance, wisdom and stability.

A sweet filly with a gentle soul. Very inquisitive, and she loves scratches under her neck and on her wither.

Golden hour is my favourite time of day 🌅 Fresh grass, a warm breeze through my mane, and the sun going down over the bay. No schedule, no saddle, just me and the best patch of clover in the field. 🐴💚

Some evenings are just made for grazing.
