[cassie]

I'll put her up now Renee

oh hi Renee!!! :saluteTemptress sure has a big tummy!!

hey I wonder where Anna is this morning... hope your ok Anna....

also what do you girls think of Penny... I can repost the pics if you like...

will quickly put some pics up of Finn, then I gotta get to bed lol have to wake up early to get my brothers ready for school

LOL yippee

 

[cassie]

and the pic of Penny again...



Thanks and night all!!

Renee I hope Temptress foals easily for you! n that its not a middle of the night foal!

Sorry folks - things have gone a bit hectic here this morning - nothing to do with horses, so not able to get to the old laptop until now.

Cassie, your little Finn is just so gorgeous (and he's doing just great!!) I want to pick him out of the screen and give him a big cuddle.

With Penny, I could say yes, but I could say no as she has already had foals, but I would tend to think that she is in foal.

If she is, then she doesn't need any more food etc than she is already getting, so save yourself the vet money for scans etc and just wait for nature to give you the proof! LOL!! JMO remember!!

Hazel, yes the filly's name is Hazel. Momma is Redlands Nutcracker (Nutty) one of Hazel's many half sisters is Ancaster Nutmeg, and Hazel herself is Ancaster Autumn Haze (we used to name all our mare's offspring using the first letter of the mare's name, but we have far too many N's amongst our herd from Nutty herself, so last year we decided to start with all A's and carry on from there as the years pass!) Hence A for Autumn, but Haze = Hazel, so she's still a nut!! LOL!! Hope that is quite clear!!

Might be a bit involved with all that is going on here folks over the next few days, but will try to get on LB as often as I can, so dont panic if there are some long gaps (too difficult to explain, sorry,)

 

[cassie]

Thanks Anna

I thought I felt a little flutter of movement yesterday morning but not sure lol wdik lol

Will keep an eye on her

Little Finn is so beautiful n bold!! He loves getting his mumma suzie to chase him around lol all cranky like lol

N thanks for letting us know I won't stress if I dnt see you on here lol n call the national guard lol

It's hard to believe little Finn will be 4 days old tomorrow lol my dad n oldest bro dote on him n dad is so happy with how suzie is acting n her weight n all

Back to sleep like Finn lol nite!!

 

[AnnaC]

Well the lovely Suzie is already waiting for her breakfast. The gorgeous Finn is not yet interested in what his human friends might bring him to eat - he's just snoring his head off in the middle of his Momma's bedroom. LOL!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

What a little sleepy head you got there!! Arent they funny when they go from 90 miles an hour to fast asleep in the blink of an eye....its like a little clock goes off in their heads to lay down and rest right now!! LOL Cassie I think your doing a great job and I would be honored to have you over in my barn looking after my horses any day. Never let people like that get you down...the others are right...I see no "friend" with a comment like that1 Enjoy that little one!!

Renee, is a congratulations in order for you too? Do you have someone on camera yet?....

if you do!!!

 

[anyssapark]

Penny does look a little suss to me Cass. That steep slope in her belly does suggest foal to me, but it is that time of year when spring grass can bring on a sudden weight gain too, so i guess its a bit of a gamble.

You could try a weefoal test to find out for sure if you wanted to know

kingstons.net.au or foalguard.com sell them in Australia.

I would say she isnt in the last 3 months yet if she is in foal, but you never know.

I love the new photos of Finn. That one of him looking back over his butt is gorgeous

 

[cassie]

Thanks Renee! n Heidi

when Finn is in the stable he goes, drink rest drink rest drink rest LOL when he is in the paddock its RUNNING AROUND 100 MILES an hour LOL he has already started jumping over little obstactes LOL funny little kid.

its threatening rain here today so I have them locked up, but when I get home at 2pm will let them out if it isn't raining

I see you don't have a foal yet Renee... how is she looking this morning?

oh n thanks for the advice with Penny, I might try get a wee foal test... the paddock they are in doesn't have much grass, and I have been letting them out in the big paddock for a few hours a few days a week, but the amount of running around she does, I wouldn't think she would be fat but she might be... lol

 

[anyssapark]

Finn has it all worked out. Run and play outside, and snuggle, eat and sleep inside

No foal. She is testing ready (was yesterday) and she is waxed up. But still appears quite comfortable at this stage (although, i guess some just have a good pain tollerance), so i dont think she'll be too far off... but we'll see

The wee foal are great, and easy and quite cheap (better than an ultrasound price wise!). At least you'd know for sure

I hope she is pregnant, and little Finn will have a little playmate. Nothing cuter than a couple of babies getting up to mischief together

I let them out just before and Finn was doing laps around the stable block LOL Suzie has worked out if she stays at one corner she only has to trot a little bit still she seems him again, but gosh she gets cranky at him LOL

funniest sight EVER! will have to take a video and try n put it up here for you girls! he is also starting to find him voice hehe

funniest little whinny I have ever heard! too cute!!

yeah I hope for Finn's sake Penny is pregnant LOL n it would be fun to have another baby hehe.

how do you use the wee foal test?

 

[cassie]

I just checked on Renee's camera to see what Temptress was up to lol look what I found

oh n Renee she is HUGE!

 

[Wings]

:rofl

That is brilliant!

 

[anyssapark]

Hahaha! So my girls are posers, and like the limelight a bit

Too funny.

Thats Princess in with her too... she is Temptress' BFF, and they're inseperable (Temp was outside Princess' whole stable after she lost her foal, and helped her through too). She's a happy, healthy girl again after her awful experience.

Yes, Temps belly is very low - baby is very dropped in there, ready to dive! lol

Heres a pic of her waxed up udder i took just now

Oh yes Cassie, you MUST get a video of that. I love their little antics lol And they're completely oblivious that their mums are going crook on them, and stressing out lol Little darling

 

[Wings]

Looks good! Bet you'll have a foal before me and Twinky

 

[anyssapark]

Yep, she's alarmed, and under camera, and im a hermit at home til she foals now lol Hopefully tonight.
