Happy Birthday Heloise!

 

Today, we celebrated the 7th birthday of our beautiful black pearl, HELOISE! It seems like yesterday when she looked like this (taken on the day she was born, April 29, 2017):

And look at her now!

Heloise is of course Violette's half-sister. Her Mama, our beautiful Hotesse, (L) was with us until she galloped off to The Bridge at the age of 27 a couple of years ago. Her Daddy (R) is breed champion, Titus de Vanoise.

Here is Heloise with her Mama when she was about two weeks old:

Here she is at 15 months:

At two years old when she escaped from her field and came for a visit, just as Violette had done at the same age!

At three, when she came with her Mama to join Violette at Ms. C's:

Starting to learn stuff at four:

Dressed up as a Japanese princess at five:

And parading through the streets of Paris!

Enjoying a good joke!

With her buddy, The Big V, at six:

And more beautiful than ever just before her seventh birthday:

Ms. C has now bought a majority share in Heloise with a view to working her and breeding her, but Poupounette Central retains a minority share and she will continue to be an integral part of our family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HELOISE & MANY HAPPY RETURNS!
