Hi everyone from warm, ( 87 ) overcast, humid : ( So. Calif. Ekkkkk.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend planned, we are stuck in a
holding pattern, watching this eating machine mare, that is now due to foal.
( 30th ) We ran a cable from our old cam corder, to our VCR, strung it up
over her stall with baling twine, ( very high tech ) and watch her big belly
twich and jump from our recliner chair. We have caught all other foalings
here using this method, just a little tough when there is a breeze, makes you
a bit sea sick ! So far, shes all bagged up, nipples full, softend up back
end, VERY uncomfortable, but no wax....Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I want wax!!! My
mare streams milk on her last day, so we always know, but this one is going
to try and trick us. ; (
Congrats Suzan on your new foal.....! I would tease you about taking a
refresher class in A+P, but have prob. heard it by now. Sophie is a tough one
to change to a male sounding name, so would suggest picking out a new name
ASAP to avoid gender confusion.<VBG> Cant wait to see him in July ! BTW my
Belgian is named Sophie.
I have an opinion on BEAR SIGHTINGS while trail riding.
YOU ARE WAY TOO CLOSE TO THAT BEAR ! ! !
I heard that some old packers in Mt. call those little bells you can hang
off your horse, DINNER BELLS.....enough said on that !
Interesting thread on the colors of the Fjords, I have a mare, very light,
almost white, with a black stripe, that is out of Leigjo N-1945, the imported
Stallion who has sired some white / light Fjords. I sure would love a picture
of him, ( Anita ) if you are still on the list. Will send you some of Jule'.
Diane, I also love the Durango area of Colorado, and also up the hill from
you in Uray (sp?) May be seeing the sites there this summer.
Michele, I own a filly " Oscars Sweet Korina " out of Opal, your new mare.
I remember her, she is LOVELY and I will be interested to see Korinas
sibling, who is she bred too? Korina is a sweet, beautiful tall filly, who
is begining to assert herself in the herd, by keeping her buddies away from
the feed ! Cant wait till she slows down growing a bit, typical 2 yr old butt
in the air, and all legs.
* Jackie ( PAV AUSSIE ) and I are playing hookey this weekend, for the
Holiday, so there will be NO FJORD CHAT this Sun. evening. We will be back
next week at 9 PM Eastern time, horse room # 1, at PetsandVets.
Last but not least......Thanks for all the interest in our big Gelding we
offered for sale, Knute was sold yesterday, and left this AM for No. Calif.
Knute will be ridden by a nice lady, Denise, for trail, and some playing
gymcanna. Hope we sparked an interest in her to drive him, and we are sure
glad to sell Knute to such a wonderful home ! Miss him
already.....Congratulations Denise !
Be safe everyone, wear those helmets, and drive a little too fast ! <BG>
