[cassie]

Thanks Diane

Bree I'm hoping to do both... just have to see how this little foal turns out, n how I go training it

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Wow, those are some nice looking breed lines! Can't wait to see what Suzie has to show off!

:wub

It's so fun to see pictures of "realtives" of our horses.

 

[cassie]

Thanks Kara

[MeganH]

aww! Is Zorro Suzie's foal's father??? Her daddy is awesome!

 

[cassie]

haha no I wish, I'm thinking I might try putting Penny to him though... hopefully!!

these are the two possible stallions of SUzie's foal...

another pic of the first stallion...

 

[lucky lodge]

[cassie]

Thanks Jenny

 

[Lindi-loo]

Some great pictures and fab colours going on here

..Love Suzies sire the palamino..well I love them all actually..but has to be said Suzie looks alot happier now shes with you..must be love

 

[cassie]

naw thankyou Lindi!!

I will agree with you there but I am a bit biast lol

how is the weather for you guys there today??

I haven't seen Anna yet... hope she is ok...

 

[Wings]

IMO I think Zorro's a little on the chunky side. Cute, but chunky. With Suzie's shetland line I'd be trying to find a very refined, typey stallion to put over her to get a finer build on the foal.

My first homebred guy has his first show this weekend. I think I'm a nervous wreck! Nothing worse (or more awesome) then your own babies going out into that ring. I want to try and get Lyric out tot he final shows if she is weaned in time but I'm glad I waited to show Derby as a yearling, way less stresful and a lot more time to train and present him properly so I'd certainly recommend doing it that way if you want to take Suzie's bub out

 

[AnnaC]

WOW!! Look at all the info that has arrived here since last night!!

Just been whizzing through it all - will go back and re-study it later, sorting out who's who and studying the info. Some great looking horses there Cassie. Hopefully there will be more pictures and info coming through soon - I'm sure that Suzie's and Penny's previous owner must be so pleased to know what a wonderful home they have now.

Power eventually come on properly at around 11.30pm last night and according to my radio clock it stayed on all night - so hopefully all will be back to normal today!

 

[cassie]

YAY hopefully

glad your ok

Bree I wouldn't put him to Suzie.... was thinking of Penny, but not sure...

Anna you would be proud of me

I have trained Suzie to lead into the stable without a halter on

she now goes out without the halter! if she is in the big paddock I have to put her halter on... but from her paddock I just put my hand under her chin n she walks up with me to the stabes

so proud of my baby girl! she is even doing it for Dad, "She really is lovely Cassie, has such a lovely temperament" Dad said this, this afternoon

made me so proud of little Suzie!!

wish Penny was the same... she is getting there though, she is a little more high maintanance LOL

mum n I are off to pilates will be back later!

 

[Lindi-loo]

Glad the power is back for you Anna so usless without it..the winds have died here but the rain today is rediculous so glad my paddock is gently sloping there is a river at the bottom the other side of the fence

I think Dinky must be grtting used to being wet now every 5 minutes

 

Well Done Cassie on halter free training..why dont you come visit and try halta training with dinky ..certainly a challenge

 

[AnnaC]

Hey, well done Cassie!

I wouldn't worry too much about Penny's progress just now, I know you spend time with her and Smartie, but Suzie is pregnant and that has let her and you build and share a very special relationship. Later in the summer, when Cassie and her baby are happily off wandering the paddocks, will be time enough for some concentrated one to one time with Penny.

Am so glad that Suzie also gets on so well with your Dad - she will obiously be happy to have him around if you need back up when she foals.

 

[Eagle]

What great news, it is so hard to find out info from some breeders but Suzie and penny's seem like nice people and I agree that they must be very happy to know they are with you.

I love them all

but Suzie's dad is especially hot

Have fun at pilates

 

[cassie]

thanks everyone

I was very excited

she is such a good girl!

she was acting quite strange earlier... I went to check her when I got back from pilates, I sat down in her stable ready to give her some scratches, she didn't even come up to me... VERY STRANGE!! she stood with her head in her feed bin yawning...

hmmm,

very strange behaviour for her.... n after she looked like she was doing a wee, but didn't then moved, then lifted her tail again, still didn't do anything... prob nothing but I thought it was very strange behaviour from my snuggle bunny

night all off to bed now!

 

[Eagle]

I will watch her for you. Sweet dreams

 

[Lindi-loo]

shes deff changed her nightime habits..she stands alot more than she did..had a good old tail swishing session just now and switching her weight poor girl that belly must be getting very heavy by now..

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Maybe she's ready! Yeah, I hope! Come on Suzie you are holding Stormy and Desert up! You were supposed to go first, and these other girls are catching up with you!

I won't be able to watch sweet Suzie for a couple hours, gotta run and pick up a show packet from the fairgrounds

 

[Lindi-loo]

Shes still standing and switching legs..her lil bum looks skinny now compared to her big round belly
