Huybers Utopia - Nellie and Ladybug Due early to mid april

[weerunner]

445 am and I've just been out to check the girls. LB's milk has not changed since last night, so I hope we make changes over the day today and having us a foal by tonight. My friend is going to come up and be here for the foaling and April 13th is her birthday so it would be really cool if we could have an after midnight tonight foal.

I'm off to rescue two more of those horses that are in the barn Dream came from today, I wont be able to rest until they all find new homes. I'm going to do this to help make the process faster for the lady that is in such hard times.

God bless you Amanda, please let us know how it goes. Hoping that LB waits until you get back from the rescue, or better still, after midnight tonight.

God bless you Amanda for having such a big heart

I hope the girls come through and deliver on your friends birthday, of course they will !

 

Keep us posted -- sounding really exciting.

And let us know more about the 2 new girls your rescuing. KUDOS for helping that lady and the horses. So glad she's giving them up and giving them a fresh start. I've been praying for her -- as it sounds like she's going through a lot.

I see Amanda has sent the dogs in to clean the stalls

what is it about dogs and poop

 

[weerunner]

LOL Renee, I sure wish they cleaned it ALL up.

LB's milk is ever so close to the foaling range but not quite there yet. I'm pretty sure by tonight she will be there. HOpefully anyways cause my friend is supposed to come up and help me rescue the next two mares and then watch a foaling with me.

Have a good day my friends.

 

[Eagle]

Sounds like a great plan, don't forget to tell LB or maybe you could send her a memo

I love the new little mare - Dream! What a great woman you are for rescuing her and then going back to take on more.

Can't wait to see your boy's babies! Hope that you and your friend get the BDay babies you are wanting. I'll keep my fingers crossed from here in NC.

 

[weerunner]

Thank you Paula. I just could not live with myself if I did not do everything within my strength to help these little mares. I will post pics of them when I get them home!

 

[weerunner]

Well the mares are not cooperating. The milk is unchanged from this morning, so not quite ready to go yet. For that reason my friend is not coming over and so I think I will only take home one of the mares from Dreams old barn and work on her and go back next week for the other. My trailer has a flat so I have to put them in the mini van and two might be too much for me to handle on my own. So miss Nugget will come home tonight.

Watch the girls decide to foal even though their milk isn't ready because I'm off saving horses. I'll put them in before I go so you all can watch them while I'm gone. I wont be gone long, should be home by early evening (around 7 or 8).

 

Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

 

[AnnaC]

Are you home yet - hope you had an easy journey! Cant wait for the pictures.

 

[weerunner]

We just got home, popped Nugget into a stall. Her temperment is much less easy going than Dream's. I guess different personalities respond differently to hard times. Dream just accepted and gave up, while Nugget is a fighter. She is little hothead for sure. I'll take pics in a bit when I do milk checks on the girls.

 

[AnnaC]

No rush - we need the results of the milk tests!

 

[weerunner]

I just dont know what these girls are waiting for, we even have a big snow storm heading our way, but they are not making the milk changes I need to see to say they will foal soon.

But to keep you all distracted here is the firey little red head mare I brought home today. She has a much better body mass, hooves are better. Should be able to get her a new home pretty easily.

Gold Nugget

 

[atotton]

Good luck, it just starting snowing here and it is almost a whiteout. Glad you were able to take in another pretty girl.

 

[countrymini]

You are truly inspirational. Both the girls are very lucky to be at your house.

 

[weerunner]

I'm actually enjoying meeting these new arrivals so much. Such different personalities. What a way to distract myself from my mares that dont want to foal.

 

Congratulations on another pretty girl!! You're doing a wonderful job -- and hope you can find a home for the little "red-head" -- sounds like she's a "firey" red-headed girl!! Very pretty!

 

[Eagle]

Hey Amanda, I know you are busy with your friend but I was just curious to know how you got on with your 2 new girls?

Any updates on Nelly and LB too?
