Time for me to join the Auanties! I have one mare to foal out this year, FPF Payoffs Dutchess, LWO+. Bred to the stallion in my avatar, Lucky Four Sugar Boys Sundowner. I really didn't want to foal out any more as my arthritis is getting real bad, but I bred four mares to take to the Champion of Champions sale in Ohio this spring, only I found I couldn't let this precious, special mare go for a pitence. Anyhow, I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket, last time that I only had one mare to foal out it was a very bad dog sitting dystocia that even the vet couldn't save the foal. The mare lived, but only after a lot of time, TLC, and care. Anyhow I'm looking forward to this foal, as her last one in 2008 was AMHA Eastern Regional Champion weanling colt 28" and under, and multi color champion in both registries, and She and her foal were Reserve Champion mare & foal of current yr. I really want my daughter to show her for me or him. I'm a tru Marylander right now, we love steamed crabs, crab cakes and football, so I can't get any pictures today, but maybe tomorrow. Dutchess is 300 days today, and due the end of FEb. I already have the stall ready, camera up, and night light installed. Since we only have dial up here, I can't do marestare, I can only watch from home. I also have plenty of experience, she is right now a wide body, foal is still in the transferce position, and no bag is present. I'm going to post a pic of her taken just after breeding, and she has been sono'd. Wish me luck.
