Things have been both busy and sad here the last few days. Halli's baby, Kandi Kisses developed a lung infection and in spite of everything that we or the vet could do, she passed away this week. The vet sent tissue samples to the lab and we are thankful that is was not something contagious.
Today was bath day for the Gypsy mares and Karma. We have had so much rain lately that their feather was really dirty from the mud. This was Karma's first bath and she loved it. She is such a sweetie.
The Mini babies are such fun to watch at this age. We have just come inside from watching them play. Late in the afternoons when things cool down some, they really show off. All of them are growing and doing great. Next week we plan to start them all eating together in one of the foaling stalls and they will be on the cam each morning while they have their breakfast. We will probably start that on Tuesday but I'll let you know for sure ahead of time. That is a great time to be able to see them all close up. I'm hopping to get several of them clipped next week and get new pictures.
Pollyanne is beginning to act differently, as mares tend to do as they get closer to foaling. She has been coming in to the barn more during the day and not staying with the others as much as usual. Her bag is developing a little more each day but she is only testing 1.5 on her milk strip test so we still have a while to wait.
The vet is checking Joanie closely now and we will probably be ordering shipped semen the first of next week to do the AI. We are also starting to check Rosa for any signs of heat and she will then be monitored by the vet via ultrasound to see when she is ready. It won't be long before we can start doing blood test on some of the Mini mares to see if they are in foal. We go from mare stare to breeding season and then to the long wait for foaling season again next year. For now we get to enjoy all the babies before it's time for them to go to their new homes.
I hope that you all have a great weekend.
Beth

Nothing new...LOL
Raya, cat napping as usual. Isnt she just funny? Youd almost swear that baby should pop out any second.
We have 9 mares in foal so far. Have several new mares to us, that will take work. have another 10 Id like to settle.... Doing uterine flushes and oxytocin therapy on one mare.Came to us growing all sorts of critters in her uterus.
Got most of the transported semen shipping done for the year. Only one mare still waiting on a preg check. Glad to have that done. So now, i can start shipping semen in on my mares. The clients always come first.
I still have several outside mares coming in for natural service.

Volgens Sammie wel, hij heeft ze 1 cyclus gedekt en daarna zijn ze niet meer hengstig geworden.
Macy zit nu al op 8 weken na de laatste dekking en Copper op 21 dagen (26 dagen na de 1e dekking) dus dat lijkt ook goed...
Hopen dat Sammie het goed heeft
