Gorgeous girls. I'm sure they'll forgive Magni when they find out, he's too cute for them to stay mad at him

Oh, the pictures of the girls are fabulous! They are all looking so good!! They are growing "out" quite nicely!
And I won't tell them we're also admiring Magni -- just keep his pictures coming, too!!

Figured you're all due for an update. But it's a boring one with no pictures!
Mares are all coming along nicely, they'll be getting their feet done soon and won't get them again until they've popped those foals out. Ashanti is developing really nicely and she might even be amongst the first to go. No pictures because it's been WAY too cold and gross! Hopefully we'll get some nice weather soon.
We've been redoing a lot of fencing so I've been playing musical paddocks with the horses. I have my fingers crossed that my new yards will be completed in time for foaling, but it's making everything a bit awkward as I really need to bring my pregnant girls in soon for closer monitoring... but there's nowhere to put them!
I'll be seeing Magni next weekend
And Hansel should come home soon after that.

Thanks for the updates on everyone! Have a great time with Magni, and I can't wait to see the pictures when Hansel gets there!!!
Exciting times ahead as I see it - can imagine you trying to do potty training with Hansel while rushing in and out to foal down the girls! LOL!! Still as least you will be awake at nights if Hansel suddenly decides he has an urgent need!
I'm sure Hansel will sing the song of his people when he gets left behind when I dash out to check out mares. Don't think my family will be that impressed with the combo of foal alarm AND puppy
Bit of help, I'm working on a mini care/educational part for my website. What sort of information do you guys get asked the most about our wonderful midgets? What sort of information do you like reading when you are researching a breed? I need ideas
Currently working on a colour article... I just hit the spots and decided I didn't want to do it anymore
:rofl

Stopped at this one before going on to finish the thread... Wanted to answer this...Bit of help, I'm working on a mini care/educational part for my website. What sort of information do you guys get asked the most about our wonderful midgets? What sort of information do you like reading when you are researching a breed? I need ideasCurrently working on a colour article... I just hit the spots and decided I didn't want to do it anymore:rofl
1 - color articles are great - I did one on my site and used my ponies' pics to show the colors that I have or have had and linked them back to their own pages.
2 - what can you do with a Mini?
3 - grooming (general handling - with pics if possible)
4 - types of saddles, girths, bridles and bits for our little guys
5 - harness - types, for what disciplines - and harnessing
6 - carts & carriages/wagons
7 - riding
8 - training in hand for performance (we have in-hand obstacle, hunter, jumper & liberty classes here in the US)
9 - actual steps for conditioning for showing. Ours is different than yours, I believe!
10 - foaling facts etc...
etc, etc. I know that when I started out, I'd have loved to have had these types of info on pages I could print out. I still find these kind of articles interesting. I believe it works better if you work on articles that pertain directly to you or rather what you have experience with. I want to do more articles - haven't gotten that far, yet.

How are your mares going bree? When is the first little bubba due? And are any of them bagging up at all?
Quite a few Aussie mares seem to be foaling early this year from what I have a
Seen have you noticed that? I was wondering if it could be the unseasonably warm weather we have been having...

Unseasonably warm? Hang on while I grab another coat
:rofl I think you guys stole our warm!
Certainly a bad season for August foals down here, glad mine have another few weeks/a month to go, we've had such bad winds that I lost an aviary... one that was tornado rated!
I moved all the girls into the paddock laneway, we badly need the spring growth to kick in soon as I'm trying to save the remaining hay for the girls when they come in to foal. Rivain has a glorious sized belly, Twinkles has some work to do, Ashanti looks fantastic, Belle is still a mystery and Kalari has the most wonderful lop sided belly beginning to show. No bags yet but I think once they decide to go then there won't be much time wasted between the first three. Kalari of course has to wait until December and Belle should be around October.
Will get new pictures when this rotten weather blows away. I think Hansel wants to move back up to NSW!

So we can blame you for the ruin of our nice sunny warm weather!!!? This week was going so nicely till today, when a southerly gale blew up and froze us all. It has stopped this arvo but I'm still going to hold a grude
I doubt Hansel will want to move back, sounds like he's having too much fun with his new mummy.
