Sireline Information: Why Don Schufro?
This
is by far the hardest part I have ever challenged translating the website of one
of my foals to english: Reason it took so long for me to finally put up this
page in english...
Why?
Because Deauville is the most challenging foal one of my mares ever delivered
and it is hard to find the right terms for that in a foreign language...
But let me start from the beginning:
Late tuesday night Fannie gave birth to her fifth foal. And since Fannie is the
most jealous and protective mare when she has a newborn foal by her side she
lets noone near her at these very moments. Usually it takes a day for her to
calm down and become good old friendly Fannie again.
Nothing wrong about that - we know her and we respect her attitude. This is how
she would have to defend her foal if it was born in wild life. Horses are
animals led by their insitinct - Fannie's instincts are leading her.
Good for her.
So we watched the two of them from the video inside and while it didn't take her
little daughter long to manage to stand up it sure was a bigger deal for her to
make it to mum's udder. Evenmoreso since Fannie's udder was blown up like the
udder of a milk cow (as my mare barn owner Ingird stated correctly), I have
never seen a mare's udder of such size. And it sure must have hurt her big times
given the pressure on it. The longer the filly took to find the udder the more
Fannie turned anxious. We finally decided to make an end to this little drama
and calm Fannie down, so the filly had a chance to find it's naturally given
target - and how the little daughter appreciated our aid! She drank as if there
was no tomorrow and you could see Fannie calming down immediately with the
pressure off her.
The rest of the night was a good nigth's sleep for everybody involved and at the
next morning the world already looked completely different:
Little Deauville danced around her mum and the udder had become her best friend.
At first sight the night before I knew her name was Deauville - french noblesse
and the little red nose always high up - all that paired with some instinct
appearance of untouchability.... how right I was!
And it was already quiete obvious, little Deauville was a character of her own
kind!
Milk not running fast enough out of the udder?
"Bang!" she kicked out anxiously.
Not running fast enough from the other side, either?
"Bang! bang!" little explosions evolving from her hindlegs...
And Fannie would simply stand her daughter's explosions in serentity.
Good girl!
A tender touch from a human hand or an ordinary housefly swirring round her
nose?
"Bang! bang!"
She made her nick name come right up into my head all by herself:
"Little red anger!"
And it truly suits her!
Sunshine had it that the first walk out to the big unfenced hay pasture came
soon and mostly relaxing - Fannie stuck her nose in the green grass and little
Deauville explored her hole new world. My first time too, to really watch and
gather this filly in it's entire presence - what a foal!
Melting charme and beauty and incredible fleetfootedness, perfectly shaped
angles and muscle parties given to her just by nature - simply stunning!.
The little red nose always seeming to approach the sky and the rest of the foal
simply following the high up nose.
She doesn't trott - she dances, following her high up nose, it seems.
This is what you consider an uphill tendency of move. Deauville performs it at
its best.
Noblesse oblige.
And I couldn't get my eyes off her.
These first days, when I would lead Fannie to the hay pasture so the foal could
run around with no fence limiting her, surely served the most precious
impressions for me: how her little daughter would speed around in the deep green
grass, bucking against the wind in the sun, galopping in wider and wider circles
around us and all of a sudden coming to stop right in front of us, not sparing
the final bucking jump to finally come to halt and search for mum's udder -
simply amazing, and so full of spirit and life!
The next day my friend Tönne came visit and Tönne is a horse whisperer through
and through. You leave him alone with any given horse and he simply does his
magic. Fannie was standing in the stall with her little
daughter and when Tönne came to put a halter on Deauville in his horse
whisperer's sing-sang Deauville shivered in anger and all of a sudden started to
virtually step-dance in Tönne's arms - and he didn't even hold her firm, she
could have run away if she had choosen to but she simply freaked and piaffed in
his loose arms as I have never seen it in a foal before. Incredible!
Tönne and I truly tried hard not to laugh out loud to disturb this unique
performance given to us by a filly of a few days age... what a character!
He finally took off the halter and she would still stand near him until she
realized that nothing was holding her at all and than she exploded and bucked
off and away through the stall, the little red nose high up - Madame Deauville.
"Noblesse oblige" in the most special manner.
What a foal.
