Murthwaite Chanthal's second foal came during the day on 14 June 2007. It's a bay filly with no white markings. No one was home to see the foaling as we didn't expect it until the end of June. By the time we arrived home, the filly was up, nursing, and trotting alongside Chanthal.

The foaling took place in the same pasture as the stallion, two other mares and their foals. I'd had Chanthal in the joint pasture to help keep Hadrian in line with the other mares and foals, but she had her own plans this day.

Clarabel's personality is sweet and soft, so we tried to select a feminine name for her. Our son came up with it as we had Anne a few years earlier, and being a train fan, Thomas the Tank engine pulls two coaches, Anne (spelled differently) and Clarabel. She is very easy going and is a pleasure to visit with in the pasture.

Her basic training has started. She ties well, leads well and has trailered both loose and tied. She currently at Fell Legend Farm in Lincoln, CA.
