THE four-legged mammies weren’t left out in the Bailey household on Sunday, as this photo of Maeve and Fuerty Welcome Mist shows. “She’s home from a winter of grass and getting some treats on Mother’s Day after her son Fuerty Welcome Lad was awarded Class 1,” said Maeve, whose Breeders’ 10 feature appears on page 85.

Further west, two-week-old Andrew Bourke’s first introduction to horses on his parents Sean and Catrion’s Brookfield Farm in Rathlacken, near Ballina, was captured in a lovely Facebook story.
