Meet Bryn! Colt of Bessie (Trapalanda Bellissima) and Dai Wynne, he was born in the late hours of Friday 12 October. Michelle rang me at 11.45 pm, she had been watching a movie and checking on Bessie as she new her moment was near. Bessie foaled between visits, and as Michelle walked towards them, all she could see in the dark was his huge star.
He is very healthy and cantering around the paddock already, much to his mother's annoyance, and we have never seen Bess move so much and so quickly of her own accord to keep up with him. He is also VERY gorgeous, the most beautiful dark grey like mink, which I am am told will become black, with 2 white socks and the star on his forehead....
His name took a while and much deliberation: I always fancied Bryn, and after trying all sorts of combinations, the name "Brynderwyn" came to me at 3 am... that steep mountain pass on the highway north of Auckland where one usually gets stuck behing caravan-towing travellers. Well, it sounds a bit welsh anyway!
