July 23
Chic had her foal 33 days later than the average mare, but he is here! He is
either black or blue roan...more to come!

May 26
Sooty has a grullo colt, and all is going well with her and the new baby.
Therefore, I'm going to bed. Finally!
May 24
Batter up! Sooty Cowboy is now waxed, so I guess we are on foal watch AGAIN!
May 22
Lucy has a NICE dunalino colt by Berry Sweet Whizard. He has super bone and
is strong, and Lucy is a natural at motherhood!
May 15
Peppy just had a grullo colt (don't mind the cat sleeping in the corner of
the stall in the pictures...she doesn't seem to mind him being there!). He's BIG, tiny star,
no white feet.
May 14 Rawhide Whiz has a new filly!
She was conceived via frozen
semen, and is located in Kentucky. As soon as we have pictures, we will
post her on his offspring page.

Peppy has now held off foaling for 7 days longer than any of her past foals.
Storms expected tonight ... maybe she'll foal? Who knows!
May 4
Peppy isn't looking like she's ready to foal in the main ways people look
for (udder not 100% full, no wax), but I have seen big changes in her in the
last two days. Hoping for another "berry sweet" baby soon!
May 2
Cher always makes the decisions. She is boss. Last night, I gave her a break
from spending time in the barn because she didn't have any signs of foaling
soon. She foaled. In the pasture. On clean grass. They are both doing great,
they are spotlessly clean, and Cher is smirking at me. She thinks I'm upset
that she snuck this foal in on me while in the pasture (which she has done
for all three of her foals). Little does she know that I WISH all of our
foals could be born on the clean, green grass. ;-) -
May 1
Doll foaled at 7:15 a.m. (bless her heart for foaling at a reasonable hour!)
Grullo filly that could
turn grullo roan. From her eye color, I suspect she inherited a cream gene
from Doll.

Cody has a new filly, who appears to be champagne and dun composite in
color. It will be interesting watching her grow and change colors!
-
April 23
Holi has been showing some signs of possible foaling today.
Watching...storms coming, so I'm betting she will. Update: It's a
boy! See the Foals page for a link to each of our
foals' web pages.

April 22
Mae is waxed up, and we're hoping for a foal tonight or very soon!
Update: It's a boy! See the Foals page for a link
to each of our foals' web pages.

April 19
We should have a busy couple of weeks! We are "expecting" six foals in the
next two weeks. May is well over 340 days, and five others will hit their
average due dates by April 27th. Yikes!

April 7
We are foaling out a mare for Hess QH's, and she's waxed up in the barn
(actually dripping milk now). She is bred to Berry Sweet Whizard, our grullo
reining stallion. Hope to have a baby by morning! Update: Silvery
grullo colt! Star, four black feet!
-
April 5
Our first foal is here! Visit our Foals page for
links to individual foals' pages as they arrive.

July 26 Z is getting
legged up for some more shows this fall. It has been 1 1/2 years since he
has been shown, so he needs a tune up and lots of conditioning. We wished we
could have made the drive to Joey (former trainer), but think we've found a
good one here only 2 hours away. More to come!
-
March 24 I've been
working on and off since Christmas, hoping to re-design the web site "just
for fun." Finally today, I put aside everything else and began. The
colors/graphics need more tweaking, and since there are about 300 pages in
our web site, I'll most likely still be remodeling until NEXT Christmas!

The snow has been with us since early December now. Normally, snow melts
within a couple weeks, but we have deep snow in drifts and ditches that
hasn't melted. In fact, we've had two horses with minor leg strains and last
night, a very scary incident: a mare laid down to roll and got stuck upside
down because she picked a place where the snow was deep due to a dip in the
ground below. Thankfully, we noticed the other horses congregated around
her, saw her legs sticking up in the air, and ran to the rescue.

Great news in an e-mail from UC Davis...

We are finished breeding for the year, as Berry Sweet Whizard goes back to
the trainer next week. Check out our 2011 breedings on the
2011 Foals page.

We are underway, hopefully making for a great 2011 foal crop!

April 9
Check out
Z's Offspring page to see his foals as they arrive. We have two so far
that are just a few days old, but they are bookin' it all around the
pasture, making their moms scared. It's great to watch them enjoy the
sunshine.
