Cam is such a big boy, wow Peanuts milk must be good
How did it go Heidi, come on do tell!
WOW!! Just look at that big handsome young man!!
He looks much bigger in the pics than he does on camera - and Peanut looks superb bless her. Nice to see Skillet too!
So where is our commentary? How did they enjoy their party? What did all their human friends think of seeing them in person? How did the travelling go?
Come on Heidi - get typing........please.

Thanks Diane for posting the pictures!
Well the party went great...I, on the other hand, just should relax more. I was able to give quicky baths to skillet and peanut the day before but Cam was not having any of it!! At about the time he got good and lathered up he thought he was done and there would be quirming, rearing and just carrying on like a lunatic until i stopped. i was on my own with no helper so I rinsed the best i could which wasnt very good and he went out the door in a flash and decided to roll!!! he was worse than ever....threw my hands up, raised the white flag and declared cam the winner of that go round!! I was so mad. Skiff thought Cam should look au'natural and thought i shouldnt clip his mane/bridle path...well after the afternoon I already had with him I said o.k and we did no clipping.We put skillet in the front part of the trailer and cam and peanut traveled loose in the back. All loaded fine and traveled fine.
they had their rec hall all decorated with blue balloons and had cake and ice cream. It was so pretty. i had Skiff set up the round pen the day before right out side their door and the guests could come outside and see the horses. I know you guys would have led the horses out w/the people and i would too but i was worried about the stress possiblly with that # of people and little cam and peanut. Skillet would have been fine and i did take him out so the people could pet and snuggle more with him. but cam and peanut were nice and secure in the pen with people just petting thru the fence. I would let one or 2 people in at a time to be able to take pictures with cam. Everyone seemed happy with that. I wish you could have seen the bags of apples and carrotts i got!!! holy smokes....my horses wouldnt eat that many treats in a year....but grandparents invited their grand kids and their own adult kids and it was really a nice day. Skiff set up a hot dog/hamburger station and we gave them lemonade and little bags of peanuts tied with blue ribbons.
the round pen was only a fifty foot round pen and a couple times peanut got upset w/Skillet getting too close to Cam ( even though it was Cam that went over to Skillet )and she had to chase Skillet away and try to give him a couple little kicks...of course that made the people ooohhh and awwww. I kind of felt bad for poor skillet b/c he was really attempting to avoid Cam but cam was bugging him ands that would upset Peanut. It worked out well being able to take Skillet out and the kids had fun leading him around outside the little corral.
Loading up to leave was a little bit of a struggle with Skillet and of course that rubbed off on Peanut and cam too....luckily Peanut is STILL very fond of food and we did after all have on hand plenty of apples and carrots.
So it was a big sucess and they were sooo happy to be able to actually get to meet Cam.
Weaning will be this week. I needed to plan it when I could take a day off and be able to watch Cam with the other horses and also watch peanut. What are your thoughts of putting cam and nicky ( his dad ) together....am I crazy....they are buddies over the fence and nicky is very very calm. If not i would just put him w/SilverBelle and Holly and put Peanut with the others.Should i start w/just separating them ..maybe in the next stall or just go ahead and put them in separate barns. This is killing me...wish I didnt have to work and i could be here to supervise for a few days!!! Help please..ideas.
sorry Im getting sleepy and am not thinking clear...hope im making sense.diane if i can get a free minute i will try to jingle you later....you know my barn and pasture set up and maybe you have some ideas.
well ladies my warm bed awaits me and im out early in the AM tomorrow but thanks for asking about Cam andim glad you like his pictures....albeit a bit late!! and yes Cam is the same height right now as Peanut!!!

Your party day sounds as though it was a brilliant success Heidi - plus I'm sure that all your efforts to show off Peanut and Cam and to provide such 'extras' like having Skillet out and wandering around, food and refreshments.
Not sure I can advise you on Cam's weaning - here we always do it 'cold turkey' without any problem, but we never have just one to wean. You know your horses so all I will say is that I would make sure Cam is with a group who will play with him/put up with any of his antics. He doesn't just need quiet safe companions, he also needs to race and chase with his new friend/s for the sake of his physical and mental health.
Good luck, let us know what you decide! (how old is Cam now? If Peanut is not in foal again, it wont hurt to delay weaning if it would mean you would be nearer your busy season)

HOLY COW!
That is seriously frightening, I think I would sleep on the porch with a shotgun.
It was me who misses Heidi so thanks for the update Diane, I can't say I feel much better now though
