Only one foal due for next year.

Buffy is now 6 months along and I am beginning to feel the foal kicking. I tried to get all the other mares bred but it seems it was not meant to be. I guess God knows I only have so much room in that barn and I need to sell some before I bring anymore into the world. :P

I have gelded my stallion and started showing him. He got high point Pleasure Driving and High Point Overall in his first show since being gelded in Windsor this September. So with Orion being a gelding now, I have a outside stallion I think I am going to lease this coming spring to breed to my open mares. Looks like he'll be a busy boy as Carmel, Nellie, LB and Fly will all be ready to breed when the snow melts. This boy is a pinto so we should get some nice coloured foals in 2012 and I'm sure I'll get at least one that I MUST keep. :)

So for now, I am focusing on weaning and training this year's foals and looking forward to my one foal for next year which will be getting all my attention.
