Rivain's in season!

Will try to get her covered this evening since Palli and Jilla are going nowhere! Time to make another Lyric!

 

[cassie]

YAY!!!!!

:yeah

:yeah

:BigGringo Rivain n Palli!!!!

 

[Wings]

Well they didn't take today, Rivain must not be quite there yet... or maybe it had somthing to do with Lyric sticking her nose into the whole thing! Apparently she found having her daddy in the same paddock to be utterly fascinating

I'll get someone to hold one of them for me tomorrow.

Still no udder action from Twinkles or Fantasy. I'm thinking I may turn Rivain, Ashanti and Lyric out with the other girls next week and bring Fantasy in with Twinkles for safe foaling.

I got my foaling alarm back today and I am so happy to see it!

 

[cassie]

YAY for your foaling alarm!! that took its time!!

hopefully Rivain takes for you!!

 

[Wings]

Yeah I was a bit slack sending it off after Lyric hit the ground quickly followed by Ashanti's. I knew I wouldn't have anything due for awhile so my priority was Lyric's vet bill.

Everyone keeps telling me to relax about my mares but I don't want foals due from August to December, I want them all back in August and September! Means I need them covered this heat or next, after that I've missed my window.

 

[Wings]

How careless of me!

Bad Wings!

Nothing new from Twinky or Fantasy but I expect to see some changes soon with Twinkles.

I doubt Palli served Jilla and they started to resent being put together so she's back out with the other girls and flirting with Tinker. Shame I can't just stick them together!

Tinker's served Dreamy again so I have my figers crossed that it works out.

Rivain is being tried again tonight, we don't know if she just wasn't ready or if she is spending too much time fretting about Lyric to let Palli get the job done.

Oh the joys of breeding!

:wacko

Nicking off to clip someones horse today for the first time so that should be interesting!

 

[cassie]

hope the horse is good for you to clip it!! yes please keep us updated on your girls!!

 

[lucky lodge]

can we have update photos Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Wings]

I'll grab new photos tonight, maybe there will be some changes? Fingers crossed!

Beauty is in season! So got to put her Tinker and Rivain to Palli tonight

:OKinteresting So exciting preparing for next year's foals! I really hope they all take first try, I want my August babies!

The horse was really well behaved, he is the same age as Derby with a bti less handling but we just did him out in the paddock. Only one tantrum! Good practise for me, I'm hoping to work my way up to doing clipping as a side job since I actually enjoy it. It's fiddly you get hair down your clothes and it can drive yu nuts but I do like reaching the end and seeing the difference!

 

[cassie]

I totally agree!! I love doing the clipping for surgery at the vets!! love making it nice n tidy LOL gotta practice a bit more with horse clipping, but wanna have a go

 

[Wings]

I'm getting a lot better, my show clips only get a few lines and my removing of the winter fluffies is looking MUCH better. I've started to get brave and do faces in a 30 blade not just my reliable 10s.

Although for paddock horses I hate taking their leg hair off, if they don't need it off for showing or anything I leave it on.

 

[Eagle]

I have to clip the show jumpers every year and I hate it. They are huge for a start

I am used to my mini's

and these guys are 1.80m + and the fur gets every where.

This year my brother in law is only jumping 4 during the winter. phewwwww the others I just do a body clip.

 

[lucky lodge]

I hate clipping but if i must say myself iam pretty dam good at it

:rofl

:rofl

 

[Wings]

I've never done a big horse, just full mini clips! Might have to chase up some guinea pigs...

 

[cassie]

lol its hard doing big horses if you your a shortie LOL like me! my Smartis is 14.2 lol n sometimes I have enough trouble washing him!!

LOL

 

[Lindi-loo]

Ohh goodie goodie more pictures on the way

 

[Wings]

Some fun photos first

Little Miss Lyric



She loves breakfast!

She also loves to help

And the very smoochy Miss Dreamy came up pretending she wanted a cuddle but really she just wanted to flirt with Tinker. She'll be going to him this morning and Beauty will go to him this evening. Busy Tinker

 

[Wings]

And now, Ladies, Gentleman and all around Lunatics, the moment you have been waiting for..... Twinkles has changes!







Ok so it isn't much

But it looks like she has just decided to start filling it!

 

[Wings]

Twinkles doesn't stuff around with her udder! One day it's normal, then she loosens up and begins to fill it. If she's as nice as she was last year she'll also wax up.

Fantasy has changed as well but I just brought her into the foaling paddock and she's a bit fidgety around the others so I'll check her tonight.

I missed Rivain's heat

All was too fussy with Lyric under foot and could never get my helper up at the right time. Will have to start working out ways for me to hand breed the girls with bubs on them!

I'm guessing Ashanti will come on soon so another girl for Tinker. I really hope these breedings took! I'll have a nice group of Tinker bubs arriving in August
