Great wet foal pictures (where did Lyric learn how to make such funny faces LOL!!) Glad they are all getting on so well.
If little Sterling grows up to look anything like the gorgeous Derby he will be well on track for some show ribbons!
Now you know we dont like, or allow, secrets on here...................................??

Lyric probably learnt off her mum, Rivain is quite the face puller!
She is going to be the easiest little foal, she's already on hard feed, she's very independant, she likes coming up for her cuddles but has a better grasp of personal space then Sterling does. I can't wait to bring her out for showing!
:wub

Depends on the groups rules. I'm now with AMHS (Australian Miniature Horse Society, the new lot
) and they have a "no foals under 4 months" rule that I really approve of. I think it's good to let them be babies.
Lyric MIGHT come out at 4 months if she is spending days away from her mum. She's a very independant foal and Rivain isn't a fretting type. If not she'll make it to the last two shows of the season including our big weekend away state show. I'm hoping that Sterling will be ready for that one but if he isn't ready for weaning I won't push him.
Another load of muzzle shots today
I tried sitting out there for over an hour to wait for when they got bored of me. Didn't happen!
Then I had to help put new gates up since the old ones were looking pretty bad. One of those was on Tinker's paddock which meant I spent most of the time getting stallion snuggles. Not as fluffy and sweet as foal snuggles but there is somthing special when a stallion comes over like that and puts all his testosterone loaded energy aside and wants some quiet time with his person, especially when there's a mare on heat 2 meters away from him!
The other guy who keeps his QHs here saw our first snake of the season, a red belly has moved into our old wood pile (always told dad he should deal with that...) and he looks slightly biggish. So probably not a full grown but at least it isn't a bub. Have to graze the big horses around the house again to get it 'snake safe'! Although I hope this means our blue tounge lizard will return to his favourite spot outside my bird avaries.
All my geldings are getting fat
I'm hoping Fantasy poops out that foal so she and the other girls can move into one of the bigger paddocks, then the geldings can use that paddock for the worst of spring. Also have to keep Tinker's herd where they are until spring has past. I really need to cut up some of the bigger paddocks so they work better for fat minis

Well since my bubs still aren't cooperating for photos I figured I'd drop another hint about my potential new arrival. Especially as things are almost finally lined up for an actual announcement
I think Diane will like this hint...

Ok so I snuck away from the family
Your hints were:
You guys will kill me over that second hint when you see this but (drum roll please)
Marlanoc is very proud to announce the newest addition to the show team Mirrindel Somthing Special
Special is a mature Small Horse/B class gelding, he is a silver dapple taffy (silver on black) appaloosa.
The highlights of his show record include:
2009 State Grand Champion Small Horse Senior Gelding
2009 National Supreme Small Horse Gelding
2010 State Supreme Small Horse Gelding
2010 Southern Spectacular Senior Small Horse Gelding
2010 Reserve National Champion Small horse Gelding
2010 National Champion Small Horse Liberty
I met Special at my first state show over 2 years ago. I believe I stalked him a little bit
I'm kind of amazed that this stunning boy is joining my herd
When I first met him I never knew he would be for sale or that I would have a chance of owning him!
He should be coming home early December
Your hints were:
I MIGHT be breaking my "no more geldings" rule and bringing home a new show gelding. We're still working out the details but it's more on then "when" rather then the "if":OKinteresting

Thanks guys, I am so amazed this boy is coming to live with me!
That's what first drew me to him. I'll happily own somthing the next height up if it means getting the horse I want, and when you see him with nothing to show his height many people don't even pick him as a mini
