I already have a Drifter Renee, that is the problem with having so many of these little guys, naming gets much harder!
I'm glad you all like the name! I've had a few people react oddly to it, but then I'm used to that! I'm a bit of an unconventional namer and very fussy
Anyway this update would be useless without photos!
My camera hates the lights in the stable and it isn't a bright enough day to get natural light in so I had to use the flash.
Her coat is increadibly soft, perfect for cuddling! Although with all the hands on checking she's a little bit over the handling right now!
We don't think she'll go dark, she has some very obvious gold under all that cream fluff. Most of the burnt buckskins my mentors have seen and bred over the years have also been born darker so I live in hope
She has such a perfect little face
:wub I think I will be horribly smitten for awhile!
OMG Bree she is the sweetest!!! all that fluff!!! how cute! when she lets you, give her lots of hugs from her marestare Aunties!!! have you thought of a barn name yet?!
At the moment I'm leaning towards 'Phoenix' as a barn name... but still undecided !I'll probably spend a week with her and working out what fits best. I like tying it into the show name when possible but it doesn't have to. Her mum is Rivain but registered as Thunderlena!
Well I managed to get almost nothing done this afternoon and I'm considering moving into her stall
On udder related news Ashanti has no changes. I've been told she predictably hardens up pre foaling so I'm looking for thats ince she won't get much, if any at all, bigger. She and Twinkles have been seperated out from the other mares so that Ashanti's foal isn't at risk of being pinched. Rivain and her filly (who still won't tell me her name!) will move out with them both when they are ready.
I know what you mean about getting nothing done..same here halloween has come early to our house
dust and cobwebs everywhere..not to worry..they grow up fast dont they and i dont want to miss my baby being small and cute for such a short time..im just goning to keep on watching mne the cobwebs can stay where thy are
I guess with the start she had no one can blame me and Rivain for being so fussy with her.
Rivain is proving to be an amazing mother, she hasn't turned foal proud and has been very accepting of all our handling of both her and bubs. Given that she wanted to murder me before the birth if I touched her udder I was amazed at how much handling she let us do without protest! She's so gentle with her little bub and increadibly attentive. They do a lot of snuggling
Even though she normally hates the stable she is so relaxed and happy I genuinly think she likes having a foal at foot.
