Cinnamon. Rescue mare: **FILLY**!!!!!!!!!

[amystours]

Well, the most interesting thing this afternoon is a relaxed hooha!! Lol She still looks round from the back, not really a V'd belly, amd of course, no udder to speak of. Her numbers are still testing high.

 

[amystours]

Yesterday:

Today:

 

WOW! That's quite a positive change! She is looking great -- when that tummy moves just a bit forward she'll be ready to go! Just doing beautifully!

 

[lexischase]

She is progressing!

 

[Wings]

I like the pace she's progressing at, of course mares can do anything but if she keeps up these nice small shifts you should get plenty of warning.

And now she'll probably make a liar of me

 

[amystours]

But Renee, you aren't a liar, are you??? I mean, if you say something is gonna happen, it should happen, right??

And of course, here comes my very busy weekend! I may have to put off surgery...my hubby leaves for New Mexico Sunday, going to work a rig for two weeks. There have been new developments here, and we have to move our horses and carriages to a different location. The problem is finding pasture near by the downtown area. Our landlord just lost his marbles and said we had to move. We have two weeks from this past Sunday. So yeah, we are all stressing pretty bad. Worst case scenario, we bring it all to the house. We have over 400 acres, but we would have to trailer in horses and carriages every day. Yall please pray that we find something that would work well for us. We've all been in a really crappy mood over it.

Anyway, not trying to drag the forum down, I'll keep yall posted on Cin!

 

[amystours]

Here comes the dropping temps, very heavy rain, hard wind and the almost constant thunder and lightning...wonder what's going through Cin's mind right now? Oh, nasty weather!! I should drop this foal!

Aaaannnddd there went the electricity! Thank goodness for smartphones. And lack of eggs. Cause if I had an egg, I would have cookies in the oven right now. Lol I think I've about lost it!

 

[AnnaC]

Goodness Amy I hope everything works out for you in the end - and stay safe in that weather!! I think you may have to put off that surgery if possible - it sounds as though you will have more than enough to deal with, plus Cinnamon is bound to foal right in the middle of all the chaos!

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that your are having such troubles

I am praying you find somewhere soon. Don't forget to buy eggs tomorrow. lol

I hate it when landlords loose their marbles. I've had one of those before... Worst part was that my hubby was non-confrontational back then, so he never even stood up for me. It was over a dog that I made sure I was able to have before moving there. 6 months later, landlord changed his mind. She was a yellow Labrador with extensive training and no bad habits. The neighbors loved her and she rarely barked. Landlord gave us 10 days to get rid of her. I was able to sell her, but it broke my heart. I was unable to move for another year.

I pray everything works out beautifully for you. It's got to be horribly stressful!

It's strange. We have had the carriage horses on this lot for 10 years. A little over a year ago, a local cardiologist bought the property. He told the then-owners he didn't expect a lease, he just wanted the place kept clean and bushhogged. We bought the business in July, and had to go to all the trouble of getting him and his LLC added to our insurance. He even asked questions! Anyway, we have done nothing but improve the property...adding nice fences, tearing down the old tack room and getting a VERY nice portable building instead, and cleaned up the entire front lot (where all my poison ivy came from). Sunday, he called, and said, you do not have a lease, you do not have permission to be there, and you have two weeks to get out. Then he hung up. I want to beat him to a pulp. We haven't done ANYTHING wrong. So, so stressed out!

 

[Eagle]

I started typing but decided to erase it as this is a "No attitude" zone. I am so sorry that you are going through this

 

[countrymini]

Oh no! Hope he comes to his senses and lets you guys stay on. Two weeks isn''t a fair amount of time to find a new place and move. A similare thing happened to someone else I know. She was renting this place and repainted the walls and tidied up a lot of stuff and they upped the rent because the house was worth more now. So wrong.

 

[amystours]

Been busy busy!! Yall please pray we may have found a place in town for the carriage horses!! One of the shopkeepers heard of our plight, and told our employee to tell us to call him immediately, he had something that would probably work!!! Calling tomorrow morning because I got done too late on trolley tonight.

Cinnamon is still being boring, lol she's taking every advantage she can of not having to watch out for a little one!! She's been perky and pert, nickers, and comes straight up when you call her. Wild horse indeed!! So, so proud of how trusting she's become!!

Numbers still high, but here's tonight's pics. Can't tell if that hooha is getting streaky or not.

 

[amystours]

These were yesterday, just for fun!! My little round one!

 

[lexischase]

She is so darn cute! I just want to kiss that little nose

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for the pics and good luck with the shop keeper. How is her udder looking, can we see a pic? Oh and just an idea but I would take her steel bowl out of the stall before baby arrives as it could be dangerous. We wouldn't want him/her to get hurt or stuck.

 

[Wings]

Keeping my fingers crossed that things work out for you.

I'd be removing all your additions! Especially a portable building!

But then, I did destroy a fence I had made once when I had a big falling out with some agistment people, I paid up, removed my horse and when I went back for all my gear they had locked the gate. I don't think they knew how determined I was

Climbed over, got all my gear which included wire cutters

and got to work.

I'd actually intended to leave the fence but after that stunt I was feeling a tad mean

 

She's looking great!!! Every day is a day closer -- and every day she looks better and better!!! Very exciting!!

And as Renee said -- babies do a lot of falling as they are "getting their legs" -- so just remove the steel until baby gets good and up on her feet!!!

YEAH! She's doing so well!!

Hey Amy,

Just checking in to see if everyone is doing ok at your place. Hows little Cinn? Did you guys end up being able to get the place for your horses? Hope you are doing ok!
