A surprise!

Buffy was bred in April and August and both times had tested negative for pregnancy. Which was fine with me, she was taking a nice year off to relax and be the alpha mare. But something about her didn't jive for me. So I retested her and I was shocked to see one single dark line and no hint of line number 2. (one line is positive with the weefoal120 test). There's no doubt about it, she's preggers. So we will have a July baby as well as 4 March babies. Frankie did a great job in his short stays here.

8 months and coutnting

The girls are now entering month 8 of their pregnancies. They are all on Mare and Foal 16% protein feed and soaked beet pulp and lots of good clean hay. All are doing well. I ring tested them for fun and got fillies for Nellie and Marcella and colts for Ladybug and Fly. Never had much success with this test but it is fun to pass the time away waiting for the babies to arrive. Hopefully will have two cameras this foaling season so I can watch all the stalls at night.
