It is about that time and I have to put into concrete my breeding plan for 2011. I have so many choices, because of the number of stallions that I own that this is NEVER an easy decision. Seriously just look at them.
Needless to say this has taken many conversations with my friends April and Rima. I think though I have finally got it figured out. Now the only problem is figuring out if I can breed my mares in foal heat to the stallions that I have selected for them. Spring will be interesting.
I have six babies coming, I think. First one is due March 19 and most likely be a paint solid from Heidi and Shakey. Shakey is Rima's stallion, a very handsome boy. Then I have Starfire and Freckles due about March 30. They are both bred to Sierra Sandstone a beautiful Perlino owned by April. Shortly after that comes my bay mare Jewels in foal to Kid Clu, I think. Then my beautiful Hannah who is in foal to our blue roan Cowpoke. Then later in the summer Maggie will deliver a goregous baby from Shakey, Rimas Stallion.
So the nursery and the breeding barn will be quite busy needless to say. I can hardly wait. Having babies is almost as good as real human ones without the trouble, sort of. So in summary, I think I am having two buckskin babies, one blue roan baby (keep your fingers crossed), two paint babies and one awesome halter baby.
Another cold day today, I think I better hush and get on out there and feed those hungry critters. Hope everyone has a great day.
