287 days pregnant

Buffy is coming along nicely, here are some pics of her baby belly. 40 days to go!

45 days to go!

Buffy is at day 285 today. I'm predicting that she'll foal on Mar. 11th this year. Her udder is not filling at all yet (totally normal for her), but she has started taking forever to finish her meals (also normal for her around 290 days). So we are on track for a very normal Buffy foaling, here's hoping she's hiding a gorgeous little leopard foal in there. It will most likely be a colt as she is carrying on her right side and she gives me colts when she does that and her pattern is CCFCCFCCF so next up should be a colt. I'll be happy as long as it is healthy.

2 more months and my leased stallion arrives!!! The girls are going to love him, I hope. Exciting times are coming!!

9 months pregnant

Flicka my new gelding.

Buffy is now at day 271! Boy where did that time go? Baby is bouncing around in there at supper time to let me know he/she is alive and well. This is Orions very last foal as he was gelded in Aug. 2010. I am hoping for a spotted baby this time, but then it would have to be a filly so I could keep it. :)

Flicka (my new gelding) is doing very well in his driving training. He takes cars, dogs and all other distractions without batting an eyelid. He's a calm fellow and is going to make someone a very nice little driving horse someday. In the mean time I am enjoying playing with him.

3 more months and the stallion I'm going to lease, Frankie, will be here and will be wooing my girls. I will breed 5 mares to him that are open right now. 2012 should be very exciting.
