Yep, I am here......sorry you don't feel well Renee.

Morning Mary! Hoping that you can snatch a couple of hours of good sleep once Cassie reports in for watching duty.

I hope your headache improves soon Renee - this mare watching has a lot to answer for, we just HAVE to stay glued to our screens. LOL!!

 

[Eagle]

2.40 am and all is quiet

Thanks Anna

 

[Eagle]

Mary I am taking Alby to school real quick.

 

[cassie]

Ill watch on my phone while you're out Renee, ill be back home in about half an hour n should be able to watch again

 

[cassie]

Both girls standing quietly, I'm just about to drive home so won't be able to watch for a bit sorry will let you know when I'm back

 

[Eagle]

I am not home yet but I have them up on my phone. dancer was out flat again, poor Mary

 

[Eagle]

Dancer is down but very fidgety. Mary I am home now

 

[AnnaC]

Both looking quite relaxed now, but there is a really active person on 2?? Off to the shop now, catch you all later.

 

[Eagle]

6.00 am Dancer just had a good roll

 

[targetsmom]

Thank you all very much!! Please don't worry if you can't watch for a bit, because with the alarm working and Dancer going down flat as much as she is, I am watching a fair amount.

And Anna - thanks for adding the remark about Sox on channel 2. I wondered about that when I read it and then when I went out to feed I figured it out real quick. Our stallion Buckshot was standing in the back yard next to Sox's run and welcoming me! He is so cute... and luckily did not take off down the road. I grabbed a halter, caught him and put him back with no trouble but will be having a chat with someone about locking gates. It didn't look to me like Sox was in heat anyway.

 

[cassie]

Oh phew!! Good catch Anna and Mary, I get so scared about that happening here!

Sorry I didn't manage to get back on here tonight, my friend came over and we were studying a bit but ill be at work and watching all day except for maybe an hour in the morning but you will prob still be awake then Mary

Headed to bed see you all in the morning

and Renee please make sure you go to bed early tonight we can't afford you getting sick ://

 

[targetsmom]

Mares are acting strange today and the last time I said this, Mira foaled within a few hours.... Sox - the one on channel 2 that was acting odd when the stallion was loose (but NOT seeming to be in heat thank goodness) is still acting strange. Lots of whinnying going on, and she just came in from pasture to say hi to Dancer.. Oh, and Dancer's udder was quite tight and warm this morning.

 

[Gone_Riding]

Awe.... Their cuddling!

They've got their itches on! It's nice having someone doing it back! AKA, their rubbing on each other... it's cute!

 

[targetsmom]

Cowboy and Dancer (who look alike except he is a gelding and has a black tail) love to groom each other. But Taffy (the smaller buckskin) will also groom Dancer. And then tiny Rusty will try to groom her but he can only reach her shoulder! The problem right now is that grooming or scratching on the fences will set off Dancer's alarm...

 

[Eagle]

Ladies I will be going to bed early tonight cos internet is down in the whole town here. I am on my phone stood at the bottom of the garden as it is the only place I can get a connection. Lol

I don't know if it will be back by morning (your night) but I will post as soon as I am able to watch Mary.

Could someone let the other ladies know that I am not around to watch please. Especially Melinda as she is a deep sleeper. ROFL

Hope to see you all soon. Hugs

 

[MountainWoman]

Off to watch your cams for a while. Cam 4 is off line and Cam 3 is blurry for me. I'll try again later.

 

[targetsmom]

The horses are all outside now anyway. There is no 4th cam and cam 3 is likely blurry because that is outside and it is VERY windy right now. The 4-Hers will be here from 4:30-6 so you might catch some activity them.

 

[MountainWoman]

Will watch then. It's windy here too. Surprised we don't blow away. Thanks for the post on conformation. Very helpful.

There are your 4H children in the stall grooming. Fun to watch!! I wish you could send them here to groom some of mine.

 

[AnnaC]

Hope the horses have now settled down Mary, especially with the youngters there for the afternoon. I did see what looked like a dark shadow going back and forth alongside Sox earlier this morning, but it was so faint I thought it must be my imagnation!! Never thought it was a horse - naughty Buckshot!!
