Do you still have him?
I do not. Papa was a rescue along with 4 of his offspring. I came across an ad for "free ponies" and all I could see was someone picking all of them up and dropping them off at a kill auction for a few bucks. So, I went up with a trailer and brought home all that we could get into the trailer, with plans to work with them, geld them, trim their overgrown hooves, and find them homes. Papa was the oldest most laid back. He had obviously had work done with him at some point. The others were all pretty much wild. Anyway, long story short, I moved Papa out of the pen with his kids, because he was impairing my abilities to bribe the others with love and scratches, as he hogged all of the attention, lol. Anyway, I moved him in with Robin, my little "sterile" mare and we all know how that turned out, lmao. As soon as he got in there he bred her. I was pretty much like
. But I figured, okay, she probably won't take since she has had so much trouble getting pregnant before. I just left her in with him...figured, if she is bred, she is bred and if she isn't then she is "sterile" like they said.
Anyway, I loved Papa. I considered keeping him because he was such a good boy. But, in the end, I decided that I didn't need anymore, so I found him a home just like I did his 4 offspring. Looks like Papa left behind a part of himself though, lmao

lol
Here is a photo for today...I was kinda bored this AM, so I decided to play with a photo that I took last year at a Friesian stallion photo shoot. This is what I came up with
Oh and here is a funny series from a Jeep trip that we went on earlier this year
This is a Yellow Bellied Marmot. They are pretty common in this area when you get up close to the tree line on the mountains.
We parked our Jeep and went up to a little pond to have lunch. My son loved the water.
This was the view that we had.
This is what we saw when we got back to the jeep
He was sitting in Michael's car seat. He had also chewed hubby's steering wheel.
When we went to open the door to let him out, he jumped out of the window on the other side and took off. He then proceeded to plop himself down on a rock and pout, lol.

Loved your pics. The one with the black friesan done to look like a painting is just sooo awesome. The marmot story in pics cracked me up!!! Then your pictures of Robin running were good as well...she seems to be feeling good and that is wonderful.
Thanks guys
Robin is doing well. I am still checking her once a day for any signs that the infection has returned. So far, nada
Her udder remains deflated and I'm okay with that LOL.
So day 300 is on November 12th. I've read and have been told by SIL that placentitis causes the fetus to develop faster. What is the normal number that one would want to shoot for to insure a fully developed baby?

Minis can and do have normal foals after 300 days gestation.
The second foal born here this year was carried 307 days, and he was fully formed and ready to go. Here's Monte on day 1, just minutes after I found him, so less than 4 hours old (put her out to pasture in the morning and at midday meal foal was waiting for me).
And, here's one my MIL took two days later:
Since its not looking like I'll get any of my boys sold before winter sets in, I'm really looking forward to spring and clipping these little boys and seeing just what color they are, especially Monte, who I say is black dun (grullo). [A couple have said buckskin, but since I"m sure neither parent has cream, he can't be; so I say black dun.]
