Oh HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL I can so imagine Finn doing that!!! LOL what a funny pony! he must have given it a real big shake of his head to get it up there LOL silly thing!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Looks like the hay got the last laugh! Lol

Oh Diane I am sorry to hear that. I hope you still getyour 2 babies this year. You have been so helpful to all of us, you deserve a little love bug or two yourself. (hug)

 

[AnnaC]

Sending you ((((HUGS)))) Diane and keeping my fingers crossed for two little ones to scamper round your paddocks this autumn.

Love that picture Renee!! LOL!!

 

[Wings]

Love the hay pic

But where are the new puppy pictures?

Diane I hope you have babies this year, now that I've started foaling down once a year I don't think I could NOT do it! But I might only be covering 4 mares next year to follow up from this busy season.

 

[cassie]

Well, after losing my dream filly to a premature birth, and another filly to a late term abortion, I'm not sure there will be any more this year.

I'm hoping that Chianti II was able to get my old girl, Quieta in foal, but they were breeding in November -- so I really can't tell much, as she's a "saggy" old mare, if you know what I mean. There is one other possibility -- but again, if she's in foal, it will be a very late summer/early fall foal. With my financial situation, I just didn't breed much last year, knowing I was going to have to cut back some in the size of the herd.

So, I'm enjoying everyone else's babies.

But, I don't like not having my own babies, so I am breeding several mares this year, and next year, hopefully, I'll have a pasture full of the little rascals!

Looking to have several pintaloosas and appaloosas next year -- and I hope to get the LOUD ones I like! I'm using KC (to 4 mares -- 1 for a repeat of my dream filly), Spotty, El Rey, Hot Shot and Mohegan -- so we'll see how all the boys do this year. Still not breeding a lot of mares, but I really like what each of these boys produces, so each one has at least 1 mare for next year.

I'm still going to have to cut back -- but mostly the boys, since I have 15 boys here now due to helping out a friend in a horrid situation. But at least I'll have some little ones of my own to play with!

OH Diane,

I SOO hope you get your 2 babies this fall!! come on mummas we hope you are cooking your babies to perfection for Diane!!

and I so hope you get a repeat of your dream filly next year!!!

big hugs to you Diane!!! your the best!

Diane I too am praying that you get your dream filly next year cos you sure deserve it.

Odette is slowly progressing, let me know what you think. She is 324 days today

 

[Eagle]

Britt is 295 days today

 

[AnnaC]

Hummmmmmmmmmm. I'll tell you later - gotta dash!! LOL!!

 

[Eagle]

Nope. the dates are right. Pat didn't arrive until 26th June and then I had to wait for Britt to go in heat. Odette was U.S.ed positive on the 11th July, the vet said it looked like she was 21 days preggo so that puts the date at 20th June.

My foal.time strips finally arrived today (stupid Italian post)

I will test the girls tonight.

 

[AnnaC]

OK now let me get this straight.............................

Odette has a covering date of 20th June? So a foaling date of around 20th May??

And Pat arrived 26th June, so let's say Britt was covered two weeks later so approx July 10th, so approx foaling date 10th June??

Well with Odette possibly 'hanging on' and Britt foaling a bit early (coz she looks to be in a bit of a hurry!!) - you could have two babies almost together and not that much longer to wait. LOL!!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

The girls are working on getting ready, wont be long now. Looks like Britt may go early on you!

 

[Eagle]

Anna Britt was covered on the 19th July so that "should" give her 6 weeks. Odette has foaled at 354 so they could still be close.

 

[MeganH]

I am hoping Odette foals May 31 (my birthday)

I miss you ladies

Things have been busy here and I keep checking in without being able to post anything all the time. We have THREE people riding my Jake! (YAY!) and 2 of them may be showing him in the near future. Ricky is doing great and is back to his normal self zooming about the yard everyday. Tinkerbelle is getting so big.. they grow so fast I think she will be as tall as Ricky very soon. We are leaving for Florida very very early on Saturday. I have family staying here to take care of everything and will have the cameras on so I can peek in on them. I am going to try to catch up on all the threads through the day today!

 

[Eagle]

That is great news about Jake and how exciting about Florida

how is the diet going?

Ok so I tested the girls and it looks like they have at least a few weeks to go

Odette is testing 7.6

Britt is testing. 7.2 just to confuss me a bit more!

 

[Eagle]

Britt's test

 

[Sandy B]

Oh wow! Looks like you will have a baby soon

 

[Eagle]

o.k ladies and Ben, are you ready for a cute overload?????

This puppy isn't growing so I am bottle feeding him every few hours

what we do for our babies

 

[mthowdy]

How adorable! I've bottle fed my fair share of puppies and kittens, and it is so worth it! When they need the extra boost and you can give it to them, and bond in the process, it is an amazing thing!

Does he have a nickname or anything?

 

[Wings]

Can't cope with cuteness!!!!!
