Diane, Had to look back and make sure I spelled it right, We just got home. Thank you so very much for updating everyone and checking with Mirrie today. We stopped long enoiugh to get the foaling strips and foaling bucket and went straight to Mirrie's.Vernica is doing fine. Her milk tested a 7.2 Udder not full and hooha not as enlongated as you would expect. When we got there Vernica was laying down sternal, resting comfortably. Quintin said maybe a week or two yet. He has experience in foaling with big mares. He just doesn't want to say too much about the minis. Afraid I might blame him or something
. I guess the mother-in-law worry maybe
:rofl . Anyway I don't think she will go tonight.
Came home to check on the rest of the maturnity ward. Delilah has decided to go shopping again. She was very glad to see me.
. April may be the one that keeps us up tonight. She tested 6.8. You might could even go with a 6.4 on the strip. Her udder is full and hard. warm, but I'm not sure I'd call it hot. Hooha looks more relaxed and she is really glad to see me
.
my babies love me and they all waited for me to get home. I took off tomorrow so I will be home all day or at least most of it.
G-kids did great at the show and had a wonderful time. They all want to go back in July for the Blubonnet show. Details----hmmm. We'll start with
Dalton---3rd place in youth 6 and under halter with Captain"
1st place in lead line riding Velvet. He had one judge ask him his name and Dalton told the judge his name was" Pickle" I explained it was a nickname. The judge
ask Dalton if he was a sweet pickle or dill pickle. Dalton said "I'm not sweet" Needless to say everyone was laughing
This happened yesterday and today one of the other exhibitors said " oh he is the one the judges were talking about on his FB page last night" Now the world knows Pickle is not sweet.
Dustin---2nd place in youth 8-12 halter with Captain
2nd place in youth 8-12 halter with Velvet
This was Dustin's second show and he did wonderful in getting them to set up and pay attention to him.
Shayna--- DQ'd on the hunter class, but that was ok. of course she was upset
, but the wonderful exhibitors encouraged her with tales of their first failures and gave her lots of ideas of how to get Dolly to not be scared of the higher jumps. She learned alot and still excited about showing
.
3rd in youth 8-12 halter with Dolly. This helped to make her feel better also. The judges knew she was new to showing and gave her extra comments to help her at her next show
Kaycee----3rd in youth 13-17 halter with Cloe.
First show she did good and got extra comments to helps also.
Amber went crazy
. Libery---Amber took a first from one judge and a second from the other judge with Cloe
After that she was hooked. She came to me and said " Grammie, I can show Cloe in this and Dolly in this and I want to do this again and this and this.
Sorry this is so long, but that's the update. Pics tomorrow. Thank you all for watching and being there
. It is wonderful to have such great friends.
