April fools trick?? NOPE!
Hi- Most of my last few days have been spent at the post office.
Leaving at the Butt crack of dawn, and coming home after 5 pm. Tonight was like every other night this week...except for the fact that -We got a load of hay- and put in the round bales due to the weather changing:)
When I returned, My Husband said he would take care of it, and feed the horses.
I quickly accepted the thought, as I was exhausted(mentally)-LOL
I never thought this job would be a hard one to learn. I can't believe all there is to it!
I came in, finished dinner,sat down to eat, and was interrupted "NOT" by my grandkids but the shocking way my Husband stormed into the house yelling my name. He has done this on a number of occasions when something was a miss or "wrong" in the past.
I heard it alot last year with pony problems. It was a rough year last year. As most of you probably know. My new breeding mare,Ophilia aborted her colt. She never even looked pregnant. I did have her with the stallion however, even though I tried to seperate this a number of times. The mare-Not the stallion would get out.
I stalled her,But I wasn't quick enough and before I knew she aborted a dead foal... the rest is history.
Last year was a total nightmare. The same day lil weebles was born, My 3 1/2 year old stallion passed away.
Then in July Buni..
The reason I am telling you all this??
I was blessed today with a standing fawn colored soon to be silver dapple small colt from OPHILIA!!!!!!!
He is very tiny and very healthy, and has a mind of his own. we have caught him and the mare and stalled them both and tommorrow I am calling the vet for tetnus shots and a check up.
I am still in shock, as the mare and the stallion were seperated when she was in heat. he had gotten out a couple of times,But I nevergave it much thought . The ponies would get loose in the mornings and we would find them out n the mornings eating in the front yard. The mare was still in the pasture...
I am an experienced horse person , and I have been around horses all my life. I have never seen a mare hide a pregnancy so well!
Ophilia is 4 years old. She was the only breeding stock I had left out of my old bloodlines of dusty and my Buni mare..
I can't even express in words how thankful I am.
I thought Brian was playing a late APRIL FOOLS trick on me.
