Frankie is here!!

And Marcella must have been in heat before he arrived cause she was soooo happy to see him. Here is a pic of Marcella.

One week until our new Stud Frankie arrives

Frankie is a chestnut, roan mini stallion that I am leasing to breed my girls this year. Fly (my very first foal, who is three), Nellie, Marcella, Lady bug and Carmel will all have dates with this little man. Here's hoping they love him.

Huybers Utopia Mister Sullivan

Was born on March 17th and has been bucking, kicking and running since then. He's a handful for poor old Buffy.

Day 336

Her udder is huge, but her milk has almost dried to nothing. My guess is that it is preparing to come back as colostrum and we will be in business. This could happen overnight. We are getting closer everyday.

Day 331

Well here we are at day 331. Her udder is exactly the size it was last year when she was 24 hours from foaling. Dare I to hope she will follow that routine? Only problem is her milk is still not where we want it to be for foaling and until that happens I'm afraid we just sit and wait.

Day 328

Well there is not much time left. Buff is big and pregnant, and her udder is nice and full. We are just waiting on her milk to change. Maybe she will foal by the weekend.

313 days

Buffy's milk has changed from 10% ready to foal to 40% ready overnight. We are heading in the right direction. The new camera arrives and hopefully gets installed tonight. Then we will get a nice clear, crisp pic of what our girl is up to all night long.
