I don’t have time to do more than give you the joyous news. Jewels foaled last evening (Saturday night). The filly has exceeded even Kristel’s expectations. A beautiful buckskin paint tobiano (or tovero, or something rare like that). Rubicon’s (the sire) previous owner couldn’t believe her eyes when Kristel texted her photos. You are veryContinue reading “Welcome, Little Miss Filly!”

Tonight or Early Tomorrow Morning
Jewels’ milk hit the threshold: 6.2 pH. So there is no turning back! It will be tonight or tomorrow morning. Sadly, I will be leaving for a 5.5 hour drive over the mountains (Cascades) for our grandson Levi’s graduation. So even if she foals, I may not learn about it to pass the good newsContinue reading “Tonight or Early Tomorrow Morning”
Hopefully Today!
No foal yet and her due date was last night (well, June 5). All that fussing and pre-labor for nothing! But here is the pH strip (as if that means anything these days). I’m thinking it only gives false hope. LOL However, joy of joys, Jewels has suddenly turned into what Kristel calls “the triangle.”Continue reading “Hopefully Today!”
Missing Scene from The Last Ride
I’ve been cleaning out Andi’s blog (pages and posts) and goodness! There are “lost” pages that I don’t think anyone has ever scene. They are buried amidst the 600+ posts and pages scattered everywhere, and they have no “category” so it’s hard to find them. For example, this is on a page and it shouldContinue reading “Missing Scene from The Last Ride”

It’s Getting Closer!
Just thought everyone might get a kick out seeing Jewels progress toward foaling. She is officially “due” June 4 (this coming Wednesday), but Kristel is not sure which of the five days of breeding was the day she “took.” With a mare, it’s easy to know exactly (within 48 hours) when she will foal (unlikeContinue reading “It’s Getting Closer!”
Kody Leaves the Ranch . . .
. . . And we are not sorry to see him go. Well, I should amend that. He was a precious, sweet, gentle little man as a foal. He still is very nice, smart as a whip, but way too tall (going onto 16hh) for Kristel to work with him without feeling unsafe. She stillContinue reading “Kody Leaves the Ranch . . .”

Name the Filly!
It’s that time again! Jewels is getting ready to foal (due June 6), and my daughter asked me to put on another naming contest. This little girl needs a name. We know she’s a filly, both by an ultrasound and the fun “nail” test. She has a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of being oneContinue reading “Name the Filly!”
