OMG :new_shocked: - You all know we have been working so hard at selling all of the MarJac Miniatures because Margie's health is not bouncing back the way we had all hoped. :no: We were able to find a young man to hire to help take care of the horses in just the last few months - he's is terrific and the horses all love him. So we are rocking along all
until two nights ago. My daughter came home after finals to finish some clipping and she came out to our barn to help feed our little group of horses we are able to keep - (remember Hercules the hard working anatolian's little herd) - one mare just has not lost weight and looked like she had pones swelling in front of her nipples - and you know what we got - pre-milk fluid 
oh dear - she had been at Margies until a couple of months ago - so had the other three mares - well you know what we found on two of them! 3 out of 4 are due in the next few months :new_shocked:
We jumped in the truck the next morning and raced to Margie's :xbud: We begin checking the mares and
: all 10 senior mares are either out right bagging and/or squirting milk. All 6 maiden mares

: and the mares' pasture had gone down for at most twelve hours and could it have been then? 22 mares in 12 hours? No Way!
So we went over and had a talk with Booger - MarJacs Dressed to Impress :flirt: He is one happy guy :488: All we can figure is that for some number of weeks the fence was weak enough to let him
: as the mares cycled and he just took care of the bunch!
: We thought we had no :517: coming at all and even offered to breed them as a part of the price! Now we have to manage the whole entire whopping lot of them delivering in the next two months!
: If he weren't such a gorgeous little stud i'd :new_2gunsfiring_v1:
Mares will be mares!

We're not sure if we should be laughing or crying!
