Townend Bunny's third foal for us came 15 June 2008. It's a black filly as have been the previous two, all sired by BroughHill Hadrian's Wall. She was foaled at Fell Legend Farm, Lincoln, CA, like her sister of last year and where her first sister and sire call home. Her name is in keeping with the historical aspect of her sire BroughHill Hadrian's Wall and that she was foaled on the day the King John of England signed the Magna Carta (in 1215), an amazing stepping stone for democracy. Her current barn name is Whisper.

Whisper had an almost great first week, but on day five she was sick and went to the vet's with her dam. By the weekend, salmonella was confirmed. She was treated aggressively and a week later on Friday, she went back to Rene's care, lots of care (thank you Rene'!). So far she seems to be recovering, but sleeping lots. What caused it, who knows, but the wildfires in the area could be to blame, having caused birds to move out of their normal habitats and into her foaling place. She and her dam will be in a quarrantined area until testing free of the bacteria.
