We are very excited to announce the birth of Valena's first foal. This
filly is the first crossing of Flotren and Felix lines. If she lives up to
her bloodlines this filly should have it all!
Fiorgyn was born at 5:30am with myself and my husband Carm in attendance.
She made us wait for her arrival though, as Valena showed signs of being ready
to foal 4 days earlier - luckily I have a comfortable tent arrangement that
allows me to see directly into the foaling stall and its attached paddock without
getting up.
In Norse Mythology, Fiorgyn is Frigga's (goddess of the atmosphere) mother.
We wanted an "F" name to honour her Father and Grand-father.
Fiorgyn has had her inital imprinting done. Next step is out in the paddock
where I will direct her movement. She will learn at an early age that people
can control and direct where she goes. We have a very gentle and natural
way of imprinting that combines the structure of Robert Miller with the
naturalness and quietness of Pat Parelli. We have found that the combination
is great.
