Castleberrys Anna Rose was the first foal to be born this year, and she happens to be a half-sister of Aeres (out of the same dam, Athanasia). Athanasia has had a couple of issues with her pregnancies in the past, so this year they pulled out the veterinary Hail Mary to make sure baby Anna Rose arrived safe and sound, and she did.

| Hence the name. This filly feels like a miracle. |
First up, mom, Castleberrys Athanasia (Gwnfaes Culhwch x Bannockburn Belle)
And dad, Castleberrys Debonair (Castleberrys ReFflection x Castleberrys Dyma Hi), who is a half-brother to Disco and now resides in Canada:

Anna Rose is the sweetest, daintiest little thing. I don't mean to say she's not stout, she'll turn into a big bodied Cobby girl like her momma, but everything about her is just sweet and delicate right now.
 |
| From a Welsh Cob perspective, she is hard to fault, IMO |

| "Hello puppy!" |

| Aeres' mom, Athanasia, the Queen |
Anna Rose is spoken for, and I can't wait to see her grow up!
She's beautiful. Her face looks so dishy and delicate compared to her mom's and even Disco's!
ReplyDeleteYeah she has a super pony face. Not sure where that came from, although her mom does have more of a dish than her dad.
DeleteShe's precious! I love how solid and square her shoulder looks already. What a pretty girl!
ReplyDeleteShe does have an amazing shoulder!
DeleteSuch a pretty filly!
ReplyDeleteShe really is
DeleteI'm loving stalking these cob babies! I may need a cob/TB cross someday! :
ReplyDeleteYes!! The crosses are really amazing. I've never personally known a Cob/TB baby, but Lisa has had a lot of Cob/WBs (including two this year) and they are sooooo athletic and really clean up in Dressage and eventing!
DeleteI didn't know how badly I needed a chestnut cob until you started posting all these baby pics....
ReplyDeleteI mean, for once she still has some that are on the ground and not yet spoken for, so your wish is my command if you're serious! Check out Castleberry Welsh Cobs and Sporthorses on Facebook. I may not have the latest info, but I believe Anna Rose and Disco are the only two spoken for, leaving one chestnut full Welsh filly, one chestnut Welsh/Belgian WB filly and one black full Welsh colt with four white socks and a little star available.
DeleteShe reminds me of a living version of the Maureen Love Breyer sculptures from way back when (pic here: https://www.identifyyourhagen-renaker.com/images/b732bay.jpg)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, yeah you're right! There is definitely something Breyer-esque about her.
DeleteSuch a beautiful lady!
ReplyDeleteSo glad foaling was safe and uneventful!
Me too! I was so anxious waiting for this one.
DeleteI'm loving all the gorgeous cob babies!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever come to Land Rover again, you'll have to stop in and meet them in person! Her farm is only 20 minutes from the Indy airport.
Deleteyou are killing me that is all. BUT thank you for sharing the cute foals. And enabling us all :)
ReplyDeleteHello I'm here to enable! You get a Cob, and YOU get a Cob!
Deletei just spit my coffee out laughing cause i totally read that in Oprah's voice :)
