Thanks for the compliments on my filly and Buttons! Buttons was always one of my favorites so I kept bugging Lavonne to sell her to me until she finally did! I have had a pretty eventful relationship with this mare and not all of it is good. It took us a while to bond as she wasnt too sure about leaving her home. Then she had the most amazing colt that I thought for sure would be my future herd sire! Sadly lil Rowdy was hit by lightning and died, both Buttons and I were heartbroken. Not long after that we were hit by a "Derecho" storm consisting of 130mph winds and some tornados. We still arent 100% sure which did all of our damage but I had fences down, a huge machine shed was spread over a mile, and I had horses running every direction or standing injured. Buttons was no where to be found! I had people out each day she was missing to walk the corn field looking for her and at the end of day 3 I had just about given up when my husband called to let me know our neighbor found her a couple miles away in a field waterway!!! We went and got her and took her to my parents where the rest of my horses were moved and when we pulled in the driveway and she heard the other horses she started shaking the whole trailer wanting to get out, I think she was pretty happy to be back with her friends! Needless to say I am pretty paranoid when it comes to storms now! But the good news is that she was healthy, uninjured, and still in foal and that leads us to now, when we are impatiently waiting for her to foal!!!
Anyhoo enough rambling, I just had to share her story, but I also need to give an update, Buttons bag is still super huge but not tight yet and Dreams is starting to get a bit fuller so the RACE IS ON!!!! It so is going to be Dream first just because she isnt on camera LOL!
