“Taffy” Filly Color Guessing Winner
There were four color possibilities for Jewels’s foal, if you remember. See post >> Six entries guessed “palomino,” the smaller of the odds, and they guessed correctly! JASMINE is the winner (since I have only one prize to award). She has 48 hours to reply to my email and then I’ll move on to theContinue reading ““Taffy” Filly Color Guessing Winner”
A Colt and a Filly
Believe this if you will. Kristel and I were up all night long. Both mares delivered within six hours of each other! This is so unusual and we are dead tired, but I wanted to announce the entries that qualify for the drawing (those who guessed right on the day). This post will focus onContinue reading “A Colt and a Filly”
Foal Watch
So… We see Scarlett’s pH dropping and get her stall all ready. She is eating hay. So Kristel says, “I need to tell Kristi her pH has dropped to 6.2.” okay. Fine. I head for the RV and Kristel stops me. “You have to watch her.” I stop. “What? Watch her eat?” “No. Watch forContinue reading “Foal Watch”
A Respite
In case you don’t know what a respite is, it means a break, a rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. It’s been a very long week on the Ross ranch. We were sure Jewels was going to foal a couple of days before the earliest guess of March 20 (three people guessed thatContinue reading “A Respite”

Colton Update
Colton is 8 months old. It’s been a while since I did an update on our favorite little mini-colt. A lot of things have happened in his life, a couple being life experiences he would not choose if he didn’t have to. The first one is being weaned. We covered that issue in the lastContinue reading “Colton Update”
Time for Colton to Be Weaned
See all of Colton’s birth and growing-up posts right here >> Colton is six and a half months old, so guess what? It’s time for him to be weaned. He is SO not happy about this idea and spent a lot of time whinnying and running around his separate paddock today. Minnie Mae was notContinue reading “Time for Colton to Be Weaned”
Colton: Three Months Old
A fan asked for a “Colton” colt update, and the request was perfect timing. I just got a couple of new videos (which I combined below) and pictures! So, let the update begin. At three months old, Colton has very good manners. He leads and even lifts his feet so he will learn to beContinue reading “Colton: Three Months Old”
