Mornin' All!!......well guess its Afternoon now!! Not having a very productive day today...Cam was supposed to be gelded this AM and vet was here and could'nt find 1/2 of Cams parts....said if he were to put him under he didnt want to be in there looking for the left one that appears to be hiding. He now thinks we should wait till Fall. Its not really that big of a deal and maybe just perhaps a bit selfish on my part because its a bit of a pain in the a$%^%$ to be moving everyone around in the pastures all the time. Cam was on his Mom a couple days ago and she was standing willing and able
So now he gets put in with S'Mores and Skillet only. The vet did do all their vac and rabies so the farm call wasnt a complete bust. I really need to do my own to save a little money but it just makes me feel alittle better when the vet comes and does them all.
Cassie, Cams formal training was None!! this past winter...lack of time for me. But as little as I did, he has never given me any problems. I guess its just the lots of one on one time brushing and cuddling with him. He leads like a charm we walk about a mile down the end of my dirt road every day and he checks out everything and doesnt seem to mind being away from the others....sometimes he can act a little foolish on our return but hes getting really good. we stop and pick up feet or just make him stand still. The vet thought his coat looked great but also said his weight was perfect right now and to really keep an eye on him because he thinks or prefers foals ( minis ) to be a little on the thinner side b/c they tend to plump right up after the first year if your not carful. All in all Im more than pleased with him, both in looks and personality. I bet he looks very much like your Finn. Bay on very dark black legs. he does have a bit of a star.
Depending on how the girls are feeling about it Im hoping I will be able to breed 4 this May/June. I dont think Popcorn or SilverBelle will take without alittle help so I think I need to find a vet that specializes in repro to take them to first. But Holly and Peanut will be under " Nicky's Spell " soon I hope!! Will keep you all posted.
Anna, I still drool over your beautiful pastures and am amazed and quite frankly a bit jealous when I see your chips....they always look to be soooo beautifully peaceful and happy. I cant wait to see all your babies this year.
Renee thank you for letting me hijack your thread. It sure looks like things are moving quickly for your girls and let me say...if anyone deserves a couple beautiful new chips it certainlly is you and Diane...I dont post often but your kind words and wisdom to all the new mothers is really something you should be proud of
You 2 have really been there for everyone and now its your turn. Im using an old computer b/c Skiff took ours to the cumputer geeks today for minor surgery and I need to try to get the MareStare thingy loaded on this computer...I wasnt able to watch anyone last night so hopefully I can get it squared away today and i will be able to watch when you finally get your girls on camera. Please know that my heart and
are with you and your girls more than ever right now and soon you will have the babies that you soooo deserve. Hugs always my friend
