Here is an update on the pups: They are all growing up fast now and are standing for very short periods of time. They can walk but are a little wobbly. I look for them to really be covering ground by Thursday. Once in awhile I'll hear a squeaky bark from them....lol. Russ Jr is the quiet one who loves to be handled. Hershey, the chocolate one, is still on the move most of the time and the loudest one of them all. The girl pup acts alot like Jenny so far. I'll get new pics when they are walking good. It will be fun watching them play but we have a little bit before that happens.
Jenny is a great Mom and is doing well on having milk and staying healthy.

Hi Guys,
I wanted to let you know that I'll be taking a break for a few days. I have much to catch up on including a long shopping trip! Our cams will be off for a few days but I'll still be checking in.
I am very pleased with all the foals we had this year. They have exceeded my expectations and now I can't wait for next foaling season! We've already started breeding for next year and it's time to check a few mares for PG results. The kits I use have been backordered and I just ordered this weekend from a new company.
Shy Ann nor Dancy have come into heat since their babies were born. The only mare that foaled this year who has is Tana who was rebred to Mathew. So I have much to do!
I haven't decided on a name yet for Breezy's little girl. I'll post it when I do. We also have to finish going through the contest entries on the last three mares.
I'll let you know when I have the cam on again!
Thank you all so much for sharing this 2004 Foaling Season with us!
Debi

HI MARE WATCHERS,
THE FORUM WENT AWAY ON US FOR A WHILE AND LOST LAST NIGHTS UPDATE. WE ARE BACK ON TRACK AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE CLEAR SAILING FROM HERE.
EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE WORKING BECAUSE I THINK PASSION IS GETTING TIRED OF WAITING ON US TO GET READY. SHE STARTED MAKING SOME BIG CHANGES TODAY, READY OR NOT!! HER BAG HAS AGAIN ENLARGED AND IS VERY TIGHT AND FULL NOW. HER MILK TEST CHANGED SLIGHTLY BUT IT IS ONLY AN INDICATOR SO WE ARE READY FOR ANYTHING. AFTER TESTING A FRIENDS MARE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND FINDING HER AT A VERY SAFE TWO SQUARES OUT OF FIVE TURNED COLOR, WE RELAXED FOR THE NIGHT SECURE SHE WAS NOT ABOUT TO DELIVER. FOUR HOURS LATER SHE FOALED!!!
WE USE ALL THE TOOLS AT OUR DISPOSAL TO BE BETTER PREPARED FOR THE DELIVERY BUT THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES. I AM WATCHING EVERY MINUTE NOW AND WILL UNTIL THE FOAL IS SAFELY ON THE GROUND. I AM SITTING HERE NOW WITH MY PRETTY BLACK PREGNANT MARE ON A MONITOR 12 INCHES FROM ME. SHE IS LAYING COMFORTABLY IN THE STALL THE PICTURE OF AN EQUINE MATRON, NESTLED SAFELY IN HER WOMB THE LAST FOAL OF THE SEASON. WE ARE EAGER FOR A HEALTHY BABY TO END A SEASON OF PROMISING FOALS. THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, THE FRANTIC TRIPS TO THE BARN AND EVEN THE HEARTBREAK OF LOSING OUR LITTLE "FOAL IN A BOWL" ANGELINA ARE THE HIGH PRICE WE PAY TO BREED MINIS, BUT WE DO LOVE IT!!! WE HAVE ENJOYED SHARING IT WITH ALL OF YOU AND HOPE YOU WILL BE WITH US FOR PASSION'S DELIVERY.
WATCH AND WAIT WAIT AND WATCH ONE MORE TIME
