Surprise!

My family had the most wonderful surprise this weekend! My mare, who apparently was pregnant, foaled sometime Friday morning, and she had the sweetest little guy you've ever seen! Now how could I not know that she was preggo you ask? Good Question! I bought her last June and wasn't informed that she had been bred. She had her fluffy winter coat and didn't get very big! I rode her 3 weeks before she delivered and everything fit great, I had no idea! I did notice that her belly was a little big, and her ribs were showing despite being fed heavy over the winter, so I wormed her:) And sure enough, she had one very big parasite!
This is him about 10 minutes after I found him and had time to catch my breath!
A few hours old! Momma and baby's vet check proved two perfectly healthy horses, what a miracle!

I'm Fired

I'm so fired from blogging, I haven't been on since August... Sheesh. I suppose I can argue that life has been crazy to say the least. I took full time credit in school last fall, and this spring my 7 credits feels like 80, I can't even tell you. The six weeks until summer can't go fast enough for me. Between the piles of laundry begging to be folded and my son, begging me to play army, when do I study for my Chem exam? Your guess is as good as mine! Hazel is recovering from a spell of pneumonia and Davis and Ella have just began their soccer season. We are full swing in the middle of wrestling and Davis hasn't lost yet, the boy can wrestle!
My precious flowers are peeking their pretty little heads up in my beds, which gives me a little spring in my step. Hopefully more energy for tomorrow, I will try to be back more frequently.
Until who knows when... :)Jessica
