It has been a very tough week here at the farm. Two horses have passed away. Kelsey's stallion checkers who was 17 died of kidney failure and had to be uthanized on Wednesday. And then on Thursday checkers 4 year old son died of a hair ball. When they did a necropsy they found out that his intestinse had twisted and they were already dead. That same day boots had her foal. This was checkers last foal and she had a sorrel tovero colt. Absolutely gorgeous. Kelsey is still deciding on what she is going to do. She is going through so much right now. I can't imagine loosing two horses in just two days apart from each other. They have a mare there called princess and they bred her to Sam (the 4 year old) and she hasn't come back in yet and she is now 33 days. We are praying that she is infoal to him. That would be his only foal. Such a young stallion to die so soon.
Blue - the blue roan mare - had her foal also and she had a bay and white pinto filly. I have pictures of her and I will share but I'm going to wait and let Kelsey share the new colt before I show you guys.
Dream has made huge progress. She is due in less then 2 weeks. Already 324 days today. She is definently going to go over her due date like last year. Still is no where near ready. But she is getting close. I have pictures of her as well.
We also have rain left who is a sorrel tovero infoal to a black splash overo and a TINY bay mare who is infoal to a black pinto. She should have never been bred, she is that tiny. This is her first foal and we are very worries about her.
Will post pictures of dream and the new filly in the next post.
