Gosh, time flies. It has been awhile since I've posted, but I've been lurking and reading your posts. So sorry for the sadness and loss of Summer's angel foal. Penny has been making you all crazy from what I read. You just never know what a mare has up her sleeve.
Well my first mare up is Dream. Bless her soul, here is a link to the posting I put up of her when she first arrived at my place. http://www.miniaturehorsetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=133765&hl=dream
She had a bit of a hard time for 2 months of this pregnancy. She was having muscle spasms, sometimes so severe she would fall over. The vet had no idea what this was and had no idea what to test for. I analysed the episodes and figured out that they were always between 2 and 5 pm without exception. Someone on the forum suggested to me that she might have low blood sugar and I ran with it. So now she has a winter coat and a rain coat and she wears them religiously if there is any chance of cold, rain or snow. LOL, which means any time she is outside. (We live in Nova Scotia, Canada). I now give her a supplemental hay feeding at 12pm, then a extra grain ration at 3 when I get home from work and bring her in for the night. Also am giving Flax seed as a supplement. So far all these things are keeping her spasm free. The spasms last about 15 minutes and when they are over she goes back to eating like nothing ever happened. Baby is fine and continues to bounce around in there obliviously.
So, needless to say I am a little nervous about this one. For foaling history I know only that she had a colt and a filly before, both tall and lovely. She woudl be at day 325 on March 9th.
Dream also has another life, she is a therapy horse. SHe visits special needs young adults and just lets them love on her. She's a special little mare.
Here is a pic of my sweet little girl.
If anyone sees Dream in a episode, please text me or call 1-902-220-1999. I'm Amanda
Ok so next up would be Ladybug, two weeks after Dream,
Then comes Buffy, an appaloosa
Then Fly, my homegrown baby,
And lastly, Nellie.
And finally the Daddy of them all, Huybers Utopia Taylor Made. Another home grown baby.
Opps, forgot the link to my camera

Dream will be in from 3pm to 8am every night and in during the day if it is yucky outside. She's our Princess.
