Yesterday the vet checked out Sharpie, and he officially became mine. I basically already announced him before due to excitement, but now he's truly and officially mine! Which means I can tell way more about his bloodlines without feeling like a weirdo stalker of breeders. But first, his vet insp[...]
Luckily the disappointment of last weekend has faded away, and I'm feeling much better about this last weekend. I picked out my baby! This is F#, which is pronounced "F Sharp," not "F Hastag." Hopefully, I won't have to repeat this over and over, but I anticipate a lifetime of telling people[...]
Yucky is a bit of an understatement. There's no way to polish this up, so I'll be blunt. The foal I wanted, the one that was just born this week, has died. My second choice foal was still born. Such is life I suppose. Nothing is ever a guarantee. Completely overshadowing this though, and pu[...]
Guys. GUYS! I am so excited because I got new arena footing! This is the best day ever! I didn't even have to pay for it! D'Arcy traveled to an exotic beach, and since she didn't ask me what she should bring me back, I offered to her that she should bring back some sand for me... and she DID! Two va[...]
The first foal was born! It's a dark bay colt, with a big star and three small socks. A few days ago, I was saying that I hoped it was a dark bay with white socks and a stripe, and this is pretty close, I'll take it as fulfilling my exact wish. Not a filly though, which I was originally hoping[...]
We took another visit to the breeding farm to see the new foals that have been born, and see how the older foals have been developing. Brace yourself for FOAL PHOTOS! (which could be the best kind of photos!) To start, it's probably a good thing there is a legal limit to how many horses I can hav[...]
This last weekend was as action packed as any horse-obsessed person could want. It had all the excitement of a lesson, baby horses, moving hay, and a horse show! I need an extra day off to recover from this madness. Today's topics - Lesson and hay. I was half-heartedly looking at n[...]
Gold Cup was over a week ago. But it did happen, so here's the official report. It was a very wet, very muddy day that basically passed in a blur. But a great day with bloggers Emma, D'Arcy, and Shelby! We actually got Emma to come out! We were thrilled that we managed t[...]
If anything could inspire me to have a breeding farm, it would definitely be going to a breeding farm. They are so incredibly cute, I want to be surrounded by foals all the time. I want to lay in the middle of the field and have lots of foals leaning up against me, like a foal pile. When I[...]
I've been wanting a baby (horse) for a while. I discussed it a bit in this post, in which I got some really great feedback. I didn't even have to pay for it, many of you willingly gave it up. No one even billed for their advice. After thinking on it, searching the internet greatly, discussing wit[...]
