Marlanoc Foal Thread, All Foaled! 4 colts, 1 filly

[Wings]

Zombie free so far LOL! Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll all go with no trouble on the same night

 

[cassie]

haha lucky you

heres hoping!! praying for safe foaling when they eventually foal for you LOL

 

[Wings]

I want to be that lucky

Yesterday my vet declared that he didn't want to see me again until there are foals

Had him out one day to chip the colts, out 2 days later to check a mare with a sore leg, out 2 days later for the agistor to check an injured leg. I think he can drive here with his eyes closed now

 

[cassie]

haha oh dear! lol so how are the girls sitting udder and tummy wise? I think its time for some more pictures?

 

[Wings]

Yes I think we're overdue for pics! I'll snap some tomorrow, I fed early because some rain rolled in but of course now it's lovely again. Not complaining about that though!

 

[cassie]

Bree quick question... would these halters be ok to use for Penny for jumping?

[Wings]

I think so as their is no buckle on the nose, however the point where you attacht the buckle is not fixed to the halter and will slide around. Not something I'd want on a performance halter as I like to work with contact whenever I want it.

 

[cassie]

hmmm good point... I think I could work with it though as a starter halter... do you have to have certain colours for performance? or whatever suits the horse?

 

[AnnaC]

I hate headcollars with that sliding ring at the back - most annoying!! No idea about the colour Cassie, but would think that something 'simple' would be good - dont want folks looking at the colourful headcollar when they should be admiring your horse!

Yes Bree, pictures would be most welcome.

 

[Wings]

Any colour is allowed, I stay subtle though. Both my rope halters are black and my new leads is white. Of course white leads are a bit like white gloves when riding, if you can't handle it well stick to a darker colour because they always seem to be more visible! I would have gone with black but I'm using one without a clip and could only get it in white.

 

[cassie]

thanks Anna

yeah I was thinking I could stitch it in place since I can handle a sewing machine pretty well

yeah I was thinking of just staying black or navy... but will prob just go black...

Hey Bree, my brother Russell just got the new Canon EOS 5D Mark III its SOOO cool

he has to get some lenses for it, but I'll put some pics up that he has taken with it when he gets it

 

[Wings]

Awesome

:ThumbUp

I'm trying to convince everyone that I NEED a macro lens

Once again my mother is trying to remind me the difference between "need" and "want." Of course I said I knew perfectly well which is why I NEED a macro lens or I'll DIE

I'm a bit dramatic in case you all haven't noticed in the past year

:rofl

 

[cassie]

hahah yeah he is so excited! he can't decide which lense to buy first... he wants to eventually get a macro lense but might get a more basic one at first... I think he was going to get one today so I'm sure we shall see some pics from him soon

he is going to be taking some pictures of our friends who recently got engaged so I'll put a couple up so you can see

how are your girls Bree? did you get any pics of them for us?

 

[Wings]

Nah the rain forced me to rush through the evening feeds which is usually when I take the camera out

But no changes anyway, I think I'll go back to not talking to them now.

 

[cassie]

haha oh dear naughty girls

is it still raining for you guys? I will happily take some of your rain off you

its starting to dry out again up here... a good dose of rain now would set us up really nicely

 

[AnnaC]

You girls are never satisfied - rain, no rain. etc etc LOL!! It's belting it down here today plus almost storm force winds - typical British Summer!!

 

[Wings]

I'm in a very wet part of Victoria so even during the drought years we have grass... some of it green! Downside is in the wet years we get REALLY wet.

Now if the girls would just grow some udders I'd be a happy person regardless of weather!

HAHAHAHA I know lol, we are never satisfied and always complaining LOL, loving the sun we are having at the moment but wouldn't say no to a bit of rain right now

Now if the girls would just grow some udders I'd be a happy person regardless of weather!

haha I bet you would be Bree

so still nothing on the udder front this morning?

oh Russell got a lense for his camera... its a wide angle/ zoom lense, he apparantly took some pics of the horses yesterday but I haven't seen them yet LOL will have to get him to take some pics of Penny jumping with it now hehe.

 

[Wings]

You will Cassie!

And yes NO changes in the udders. I had to go out this morning so I was hoping that would encourage them

Apparently not!

 

[cassie]

haha what brats!! how far along are Dreamy and Beauty now?
