Rocklone 2017 - Goldie

[Rocklone]

Wort nightmare really, they got a foster mare within mins (very well known foaling establishment) but still very sad. i don't know if it was a home mare or a client, though.

[dcwolcott]

Yes, that's always sad.  At least if I lost a mare -- and I've only lost one to a bad dystocia that the vet and I worked on for hours.  Then, I just looked in her eyes, and knew she just wanted to go.  So, I let her leave.

But, so sad when a foal is left behind.

How are the antic in your barn?
Katie  ( and Kate) are both out so hoping Katie has settled...
Fingers crossed we both get foals next year!

Sorry to hear about your neighbours mare, so very sad!
Rocklone your two sound like they need their own soap opera. lol
I had a stallion on loan for a while ( darn nightmare of a horse )that would only mate at night, it took me a while to realise that that was the reason he wouldn't go near the girls during the day. He was the loudest stallion I have ever met, he would scream the house down when the girls went near him. Crazy dude! lol
These boys sure can be funny.
My Eagle was an absolute gentleman too Diane, he would ask nicely for permission and would also say thank you after too. lol That little guy taught me a lot, he sure was a pleasure to own and work with.

Just a little update. Goldie still on but very creamy dioscharge which someone told me means she's ovulated and clearing the uterus ready for pregnancy which would explain why there was no covering that I saw today. Can't wait until she goes out so I can wash her she's always a very smelly mare (I can smell when she's in heat!!!)

[Rocklone]

I've not noticed any cover in two days. Goldie was showing but nothing ever happened and she wasn't following as much. I was able to leave them stalled last night cause she wasn't pestering him and he then didn't have to tel her to back off. The wait begins!

Such a beautiful pair!!

[Holly]

 Sooo cute! Fingers crossed!!

That last picture is the cutest !

Crossing my fingers for you that Goldie has settled in foal! When will you have her checked?

LOVE the pic - they don't even look like real horses - but little models you've set up for pics!  Especially Goldie...

[Rocklone]

I am going to check her when I'm sure she's settled cause she's a funny sort. She will cover then not cover again but not be pregnant or at least that's happened in the past.

She is also a real floosy she loves to have a stallion about. She ran up to banner today and roared her head off, lifted her tail and peed in excitement because she had not seen him for a few hours! Lol

[dcwolcott]

Some of these ladies are such hussies!!

[Renée]

I love that pic! they will make an awesome baby.

[Rocklone]

So far goldie is showing no signs of being in season. Its been exactly 21 days since i first put her back with banner. I don't generally get too excited by her though!

I'm not sure if i should scan in a week if she does not come on.

[dcwolcott]

What ever you decide, KNOW that we are hoping for a successful breeding, as we can hardly wait to see what this handsome pair produces!!!
