So, it's mid-April, and how in the world did we get here already?! How the time flies! It is actually GREEN here in Texas, and oh what a lovely color that is. I didn't realize just how very dead everything was last year. The farmers are preparing to cut the first baling, according to the ones who come in to my work, and I am still praying for life-giving rain throughout the season.
April also means foaling season is upon many, has been here for some, or is really close for others! I am still adjusting to being able to breed for earlier foals-in IN, you didn't want those babies coming any sooner than May if you could help it, April maybe!
Sonata is bagging, so she is now under 'watch', although I don't expect the foal for another month. This is her first, so I am praying for an easy delivery and for her to adjust well to motherhood. I have to reason to think she won't. Still...yah. Moms!
Fancy is really showing, but has not begun to make milk yet.
Melody is working on a milk bag, but went to her new home this past weekend! She was not an easy one to let go of, but I know Carlos and his little wife love her and will give her a great home, and she is close enough for me to visit often, so I am content. It is always so neat to mentor new mini people and see their enthusiasm!
Lillie I am seriously beginning to think is bred...that girl is getting a track record for breeding without permission! Time will tell....
I need to get new pictures up, and pictures of the girls who don't have any yet, ie, Buttercup and Delight! I will be having a photographer friend out this summer to take professional pics, and am VERY happy about that! Gabriel does such lovely work...
Well, that's where things are at now. See you soon!
