PlayTime Minis - Finished for 2013; See you in 2014

[AnnaC]

What pretty girls - when is Silver due? Maybe Sweetie is waiting for the other two so all three can foal at the same time! LOL!!

 

[MountainWoman]

Silver and Wish are both due at the same time in mid June so maybe you're right about Sweetie.

A foal bonanza it would be!

 

[Eagle]

They look great and not long to go now, how exciting

who is daddy again?

 

[MountainWoman]

Sweetie is in foal to Fallen Ash Eagle's Fine Art but I don't think baby will ever arrive. Wish is in foal to Aloha Acres Amir OR IC (same daddy as Raven's foal) and Silver is in foal to All Small Farms Boogerman's Reflection. Hoping for some more awesome babies but really I'll be happy if they just arrive safely. BTW, we have snow in the forecast today.

SNOW

 

[MountainWoman]

Yup and right at freezing. It's COLD!!!

Got my winter down coat out again and wearing my hat and mittens to go out to the barn.

I was thinking of you because it is COLD here too, but not quite that cold. Just a nasty cold rain and we have everyone in the barn now, which is super unusual for us. The clipped ones have blankets.

I wonder if Sweetie is waiting for another mare to foal? I swear that Dancer - our maiden who seemed ready to foal for weeks - waited for Toffee to foal and then foaled 2 days later. Got our foaling season over with quickly anyway.

 

[MountainWoman]

Just got back from the barn and put everyone in their winter jammies. We had a 40 degree drop from yesterday and the horses aren't used to this wet cold. Mary, everyone is in the barn here too which just like you is very unusual for us this time of year. Supposed to be gone by Monday though and then I'll probably be complaining about bugs.

I wonder if Sweetie is waiting too? She's so bonded to her two friends and I wonder if she's trying to cycle with them? Is that even possible? Mary, do you think that's what happened with your maiden? Sweetie is like a walking whale and looks so very pregnant but just like Raven she's eating like a horse

I've got all kinds of rain/snow names picked out if she foals today or tomorrow.

Well back to the roaring fire with a good book. I'm enjoying this brief sojurn into winter again.

 

[Eagle]

I know what you mean about crazy weather, I took my youngest son to his riding lesson today and I was frozen sitting there watching. Now we are back home and he is fast asleep on the sofa

I have the fire going and it will be a quite evening with him asleep so early.

 

[MountainWoman]

Renee, isn't it wonderful to have these days. Sounds delightful there and wish I could visit.

 

[Eagle]

You are very welcome to come and stay Sara,

have you ever been to Italy?

 

[MountainWoman]

Yes and I fell in love. One of my favorite movies is "Under The Tuscan Sun." I'd love to live there if I had my life to do again.

 

[Eagle]

Fancy doing a house swap. Lol I would love to live your place

 

[AnnaC]

Ooooo there is nothing like a blazing fire in ANY cold weather! We even keep our old Rayburn solid fuel range going all year round here as the weather can be very up and down, plus the couple of radiators upstairs are great for fast drying and wet clothes as well as providing cosy warm towels for when you get out of the bath/shower!! We just open doors and windows if it gets too warm!

 

[MountainWoman]

Oh, Renee and Anna, I think a farm swap would be wonderful!!! I think both of you live in such amazing places. I think fall would be the absolute best time to visit here. So incredibly beautiful with the trees all orange and red. And Anna, I love the warm towels!!! Wish I had a radiator.

 

[MountainWoman]

Well, I was watching The Celebration Sale last night when we lost power. This morning I discovered one of the mares I loved was sold but the other was still available so I'm the proud new owner of RFM IMA Sweet Creation. She's a tiny girl at 28.75 so she's even smaller than my tiny Crystal. She's expecting a 2014 foal by Fallen Ash Eagle's Fine Art I'm happy to say. Diane, I think I see spots but I'll rely on your opinion. (Photo used with permission)

 

[Eagle]

oh wow, you went shopping

and what an adorable little girl she is

If you come and visit you could bring her too

 

[MountainWoman]

Renee, I'll try to bring everyone including my beloved piggies!

 

[Eagle]

heheee yippee wouldn't that be fun

 

[LittleRibbie]

whow, whow, whowza!!! 28" such a tiny one and oh sooo pretty!! Congratulations!!

I had to enlarge the photo when I saw another horse head rising up from the dirt...weird...then I see what looks to be a horse head bench with another big horse statue...very inpressive.

Nothing is more impressive than your addition though!! I really really reaaly like her!
