April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[Wings]

Exactly Anna!

I used to joke "horses are people too" to try and get some people to remember these guys can be just as individual as we are.

It's always nice to see owners taking care to do things to suit the horse... of course most of us around here wouldn't dream of offending a broodmare

Imagine what they would do to us the following year!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Well, we tried the girls together for a little bit this evening.

I acutally had to get after Delilah to not be mean to April.

We did pretty good, but they will not be out together unless I'm there for a little while

. Delilah and Vernica actually discovered a part of the paddock they never go to and it has some pretty good grazing on it. April went right to it

. The foals stayed pretty close to mommas. It was wonderful watching them.

Dalton is putting the lead on Daniela by himself and bringing her out to graze. She is so very good with him and he with her. They make a good team.

. Getting excited to see how they do in the ring together.

Now if the mommas would learn as quick as the babies did

I really like this one. They all look so cute. DD and Eddy visited more

But of course Eddy had to show off his moves

and

he is such a mess

Watching them play and run and buck is relaxing. Helps to unwind at the end of the day.

[a mini dream come true]

Thank you Cassie. I'm pretty proud of them. I just love to be out there watching them interact and coming for their scratches. Then off they go again.

 

[Eagle]

Oh wow Hazel, they look great, they are just way too adorable for words

 

[chandab]

OMG! Those pics are just too cute. Congrats.

 

[AnnaC]

Oh what wonderful pictures - they make the perfect little trio!!

And yes, there is nothing quite so relaxing (or enjoyable) as sitting watching the babies play and interact together - bliss!!

 

[Wings]

:rofl

 

[cassie]

[a mini dream come true]

Well, the wedding is over. Mathew ( this is Dalton's older brother) is on his honeymoon with his new bride

. Grandson Dustin is here for the weekend and helping get things done

. Farrier is due here in the morning at about 8 then he goes to New Deal for the rest of the horses

. I think I fixed the cam

sorry about mispelling it earlier. Me and that phone go round and round on the spelling sometimes.

We had to clean stalls so no new pics

. I looked at the waether a minute ago and we are suppose to get another thunderstorm in about 2 hours. It's headed our way. Looks like we might get another 1/2 inch or so. Just hope there is no hail.

Hey! We've got green grass now

. This rain has been wonderful. My back is looking very nice. of course the horse are thrilled to have something besides hay. I don't let them out all day on it tho. The cam should be working so you can see DD is growing and I'm not sure if you can see Dixie real well tonight. We turned the overhead light off to cute down on the bugs it attracts. I saw a blister bug this evening so we need to be careful with them around. I'll try to get some new pics tomorrow to post.

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

[bannerminis]

The babies are looking fab and I love the 2nd pic too. All thats missing is a bottle of suds LOL

 

[a mini dream come true]

April is doing better in the herd. Delilah is still being a little bit tacky, but not bad. Here are some new pics. DD is not being nice. then

Then of course we have the two buddies

Son Rise is doing good with his driving. Am going to be hitching him this weekend for some more work. I'll try to get pics then. We are getting ready for a show next month in Glen Rose. Dalton, Shayna, and Amber will be going. It all the classes you want for a set price, so they will be showing a lot in different classes. Busy next couple of weeks.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'll pass them on to Mathew and Alicia.

We turned the lights off in the barn for a little bit. Sorry it's not a great pic now. Maybe I can get some more christmas lights to put up there.

 

[cassie]

NAW thanks for the piccies! you might need to put some sunscreen on those gorgeous little white nosed babies with your sun, I should have done that last season with Penny will have to do it this summer

they are all so beautiful! are you going to repeat any matings next year Hazel?

 

[a mini dream come true]

Sorry, I forgot that part. Juan and April will probably be repeated. Delilah, Vernica, and probably Daniela will be bred to Son Rise. I'm not sure about the other mare. Velvet is 17 now and I don't have any foaling history on her at all. Dolly is 3 (just) and Cloe is 2 so I'm not so sure about breeding either one of them this year.
