At the moment I'm leaning towards Lyric, it doesn't have anything to do with her show name but I think it suits her!
Today she has a little bit of scours going on
I don't think I got the worming paste into Rivain as early as I should have since we were so focused on getting milk into bubs.
She certainly has been a trickier foal then Derby was! But the one benefit from that is she's testing me and my foaling kit and I'm really learning a lot from her, Derby was almost too easy!
yeah I like Lyric!!! hope she gets better soon!!! glad your able to handle everything she is throwing at you though!! oh n what colour are you hoping with Ashanti?
Rivain and I have a deal now. Every time I enter the stall I bring food, I then place it at the back of the stall where she goes to eat and I can then kneel down near the front of the stall. At first the little bubs was only looking at me, and then she would come part of the way up. This afternoon she felt really bold and came all the way up, stared at me and then bolted backwards. When I didn't do anything scary she came back, much quicker, and began to snuffle my arms and legs and finally my hands. I didn't move to touch her during this and let her retreat when she was ready to. So brilliant to finally get snuffled
:OKinteresting
Ashanti has a little more bulk and Twinky seems to be getting ready to begin so I'll start grabbing udder shots again. I'll be turning Rivain and miss-yet-to-be-named filly out with them soon and I'm so nervous!
Well she comes over for sniffs but isn't too keen on the scratches.
I can't really blame her, we had to grab her in the paddock to bring her in, she was handled a lot as we got milk into her, then the vet gave her a check up and an enema followed by a needle the next day! I think the needle was what really set her off, she hated it!
And of course unless I've distracted Rivain I don't kneel down
rotten possesive mare! Can't wait to finish the reinforced fencing tomorrow. I'll be turfing them out in the paddock so Palli can have his stall back!
naw, maybe you could just sit in there for 15-20 min just let her come n go, let Rivain come n go with scratches maybe some treats for Rivain so baby know's mummy is ok with you so she should be too....
'Tis cute, but I really am stuck between Lyric and Phoenix. Every time I ask someone they always say the opposite of the last person I asked!
Bit more size to Ashanti's udder, but only slightly.
The problem with foal handling is Rivain being foal proud. Unless she's stuffing her face with food she doesn't like us in the stable with her and bubs. Once she's outside with her friends again I think she'll relax and the filly will be able to come over and say hi without her mother shooting me filthy looks
I just had daggers off my mare for putting my boy out in the next paddock to her so they can chat through the fence..Dinky greeted him with the chatter chops and mum ran over discusted that he even so much as looked at her
Haha they are so funny in theyr little world..think i managed to get a picture of her grumpy face will put it on Dinky's page in a bit..as you say 'mares" so hormonal
