Come on Bree, we want pics of your new girl

 

[Wings]

Well if your girls don't mind sharing how can I resist!

This is Mirrindel Belle Esprit (in her show days)





She's a black 37" small horse mare with a number of National Champion and Reserve placings in Halter, Liberty and Classic Head. She's by the same sire as Special, my appie show gelding. She's the dam of some very well awarded babies as well. Belle also did some long reining so I hope to harness her as well.

Belle's a little on the weighty side right now so we're all calling her the Bellephant

she and Tinker need a serious fitness program before they meet in breeding season! She's also possibly in foal, toying with getting her preg tested as I'm not sure how quickly I will know with her current belly size. Plus if she isn't I'll work her harder now so she can be really fit for breeding season. if she is carrying I'll bring her in very gently.

She's also a true darling of a mare, with that sweet face of her's she has me right where she wants me already and I can't seem to leave her alone! She's having a lot of fun teaching me about her favourit itchy spots, right now she loves the base of her ears and her withers.

I'll try and grab some paddock snaps tomorrow... although she might not forgive me for the less flattering shape of her body

 

[Eagle]

Bree you have upset Odette! She said Belle has made her feel fat so she wants you to post pics of Bellephant.

ROFL

 

[Eagle]

Congratulations she is absolutely gorgeous.

 

[bannerminis]

[Wings]

Thanks guys!

Bree you have upset Odette! She said Belle has made her feel fat so she wants you to post pics of Bellephant.

ROFL

Well I couldn't cope with upsetting Miss Odette!

Especially while she's expecting!

I'll go dig up the camera

 

[cassie]

haha you girls are so funny!!!

Bree I saw your new addition on facebook!! she is just darling! if she is in foal who would she be in foal to?

she is beautiful! you always get the goreous ones! lol

can't wait to see her with that tummy hehe

 

[MeganH]

Bree, I just ran over to look at your new girl... beautiful!!

 

[Eagle]

I am a bit worried about Britt, she was running around like a looney when I went down this afternoon as she had a branch stuck to her tail

the snow we had last week broke loads of branches and I had cleaned them all up but one must have fallen today and got caught. She was having a fit. I managed to grab her as she flew past and we nearly both ended up on the floor

I removed the monster that was trying to eat her and then she just followed me around. Once she had calmed down I put them to bed and she seemed fine. I have just gone down to check them and her hooha is swollen.

The foal was very active and she was happily munching her hay so I am sure she will be fine but please pray for my little girl. Hubby is still away so I can't go down and check her again during the night cos I can't leave the kids alone.

[Eagle]

Thank you for the reassurance.

 

[bannerminis]

I bet she will be fine and I think sometimes when they get a blood rush that their hoohas get that swollen look. Baby might have been active after Brits run around and adrenalin rush.

Keeping everything crossed for her

 

[AnnaC]

Oh poor Britt and poor you having to spend the nightat home, when you are worried about her. I'm sure she will be fine Renee, but will be doubling my prayers for her until we get the ok from you in the morning.

Come on Bree, where are those pics of your new girl - she's a very beautiful lady by the way! But I just love to see them all furry, fluffy, fat and natural too!

 

[Wings]

I think Diane's got it right

Hugs for Britt!

Bellephant pics will show up as soon as I find my camera cord! Really annoying having the photos there but no way to upload them

If I can't find it today then I'll use my mum's little camera, at least I know where the cord is for that one!

I've passed on everyone's compliments and she's feeling very vain now

I really hope I get the opportunity to put her in harness, I think she'd be a complete darling to drive!

If she is in foal it will be to this guy, not mine but owner's won't mind me showing, sorry I only have a headshot at the moment:



He is a chestnut appie which will make Diane happy

No idea if she is in foal, we know she was bred and didn't return but we all know what these mares are like!

 

[cassie]

haha wow he is lovely

oh renee sorry you had such a stressful time with Britt. I wish she was up on camera so we could watch her for you

oh hey Bree where are some piccies of your fluffy foals?

 

[Wings]

Found a body shot Diane!



One of my friends owns a gelding by him, big spotted blanket and is now varnishing out so he certainly has more spots to throw then he shows!

Fluffy foals as soon as I wean them. Maybe then they'll sulk and not try and climb onto me and the camera

How's Britt feeling now?

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Ooooo handsome daddy!

 

[Eagle]

Morning all

Britt is fine and her hooha has gone down

I will confess I did go down to the barn last night and left the kids sleeping with the alarm on and Izzy sleeping on their bed. I know I am a bad mother but I just couldn't sleep without checking. Please don't think badly

Odette went late night shopping

April 16th

This morning

 

[bannerminis]

No one will think badly of you Renee.

I am glad though that all is well with Britt.

Wow and Odette snuck out too by the looks of things to do her shopping. Looks like she might go sneaking out every night now to go shopping LOL

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Nice increase Odette! Getting closer. When I put my kids to bed is when I get the most done. My hubby and I do hooves, clip, worm, vaccinate, and do most of the horse care when the kids are in bed. SO much easier! Lol

We have been out clipping till 1:30 in the morning during show season.
