Mare ready to foal?

[Eagle]

I was under attack this morning from my yearling Dipinto whilst I was trying to poo pick in the big field where the girls live. I let him in for a blast as he is on his own at the moment (due to him escaping from this field into my neighbours Bean field)

Anyway after trying to molest the girls and being sent on his way

he decided to have a go at annoying me and my wheel barrow. What a night mare! wheel barrow went over at least twice then he thought it was fun to bite and pull the pitch fork out of my hands and to finish off he would stand over the pile of poop that I had raked up and calmly sniff it as I waited for him to finish so I could pick it up.

I sent him on his way as I was getting fed up with his "help" so off he gallops only to do a full circle of the field and come charging past me slowing up enough to nip the back of my leg before charging off again.

Can you imagine if he did all this to my mother in law

( note to myself: now now be nice)

Well looking at suzis stall it looks like the maid service is on holiday!! Miss Suzi if only you would go in ONE corner. She again looks hungry.

Cassie...dont forget your to put on sun block and stay away from stingrays!!

Anna, I would love to live at your house...it sounds like a blast!!

Renee, that Dipinto sounds like hes such a nut!!.....terror on hoofs!!

Diane,

where are some more granddaughter pictures...I know you have some!! LOL

 

[AnnaC]

But maybe MiL is deserving of Dipinto's efforts to help? LOL!!

(oooop's sorry - NAUGHTY DIPINTO!)

Right, has anyone any idea what is happening with Suzie? I think Cassie said she was out for a little time in the morning, but she has obviously been in for the rest of the day and it is now 10.30pm approx, her time, and she still doesn't seem to be browsing any hay - did she actually have her tea - plus it is a good thing she's not likely to foal with her stable in that state?????

This is the trouble with just having to watch and not being able to actually be THERE and to do the work for Cassie ourselves.

Also is anyone else having trouble with Suzie's marestare? I know my laptop is going so slowly it is going backwards right now, but Suzie's cam seems to focus for a moment, then freeze, then jerk and work again for a few moments etc. Have any of you got this problem or is it my laptop?

 

[Lindi-loo]

Cam seems fine here Anna although havnt seen Suzie moving around much..maybe shes keeping her legs tightly crossed just incase

you sound like youv got your work cut out with all your guests

and Dipinto sounds like hes having great fun winding everyone up

lets hope they Suzie senario sorts itself out ..I always worry myself silly when I leave the animals in my daughters care even though like you say you do your best to sort everything out before you go..nobody does it like you

something always happens when I go away even just for one night..I had a call from a very distraught daughter while on a 1 night away stay to watch my son playing rugby

saying shes thinks we have been burgled and was scared they were still in the house as she could here noises at in the utility room..turns out the pigs got out and decided to break through the back door into the house then somehow shut the door behind them so they couldnt get back out..mean time they had a ball rumaging through the whole ground floor at their liesure then returning for a nap to the utility room where they had made a cozy bed out of the laundry

what a mess..

Suzie has been in her stall since around 11am her time

Poor girl made a mess of her stall and needs it to be picked up. She looks hungry too. What time does she normally eat in the evening? Hope she has been fed and the poop gets cleaned soon!

Cassie- I hope you are having fun!

 

[MeganH]

EEEEK... ok ladies... I just can't stand it. I was going to wait to say anything for a few weeks and don't want to jinx anything.. BUT.... we have fallen in love with a mare and she will be coming home sometime after Christmas. I decided to look into an older horse as a friend for Ricky. I thought it would be good for him and us. We went to look last weekend at a mare we had seen at the farm Ricky is from and we just fell in love. Very very sweet. She just is such a doll. We had been thinking of getting another young colt but she will be perfect. I am so excited. She is a 7 year old bay pintaloosa mare and is in foal (due in April) to the stallion my husband loves. SO if all goes as plan, Ricky won't be alone more then a few months. We are setting up a second paddock for Ricky and he will be gelded early next year. I am so excited! And I will also be looking into getting my girl on marestare

Ok there.. now I hope it all works out! ppheewww!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Lindi that sounds like a mess! How did you ever get that pig smell out of your laundry?!

 

[Eagle]

[LittleRibbie]

What beach do you head off to? do you rent a place for all to stay at? I'll pray for beautiful weather for you all! Dont do a Cassie....use sun block!!! Will look forward to pictures next week....although you will need a couple days rest after the week end Im sure!!

[Lindi-loo]

[LittleBittyBritches]

Beautiful diane

 

[MeganH]

This is my girl- Laney

 

[MeganH]

Thank you Diane

What do you think about her coloring? She is registered as a pintaloosa, and has spots on her bottom lip and udder.

 

[Julia]

lindi your pig are very smart opening doors. the mess well clean its able. i just seen a horse get hamburger and a beer.at http://www.foalcam.com?L=video.index&id=5

named patches don't think he makes a mess though.

 

[MeganH]

Thanks Diane! I noticed her feet too and they are going to trim them. I want to also give her a bath before the weather breaks. She has a thin mane and it looks like it has been that way for a while based on pictures I have seen. So maybe thats just her. I will check her over real good though again.

 

[MeganH]

Lord that horse! That is crazy!

 

[Eagle]

Omg Julia, those guys are nuts.

Diane, that house is to die for, can I come too? with all those kids running around i am sure you won't even notice a few more

Megan, welcome to the potato chip addiction

She is very pretty. ( I agree about her tootsies though)

As for Cassie, I just pray that she received her dinner
