I’m amazed at how wonderful mares can be when the baby is giving some pretty good udder bumps to open the milk bar! Ouch

Belly (and face) full of warm milk.

The best day ever!

What does a girl like me do on a beautiful fall day?

I do whatever the critters want…

Who needs expensive toys when you have corn fields and stuff around the farm?

When you’re running at the speed of light, it helps to stick out your tongue.

This is a great photo if you don’t mind the fresh “I just rolled in something but, maybe my ear will hide it” look.

Got one shot of Emma as she sat down for 1/100th of a second.

My road to a sane, take me anywhere, horse…

Sora wanted to mow the lawn and walked over.

The wind was blowing. That’s my baby, just keep munching away. Red heart

Ponying Sora

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a ride.

Scott wanted to go for a hike with his weighted backpack on. He’s trying to get in shape for a hunting trip later this year.

So I followed.

Sora did pretty darn good following along. I was expecting a little yippee yeehaa from her as we started, but I was gladly wrong. Sora’s only 10 months old. I wonder how tall she’ll get?

_DSC8735

We went through the fields surrounding us.

And across a road! Sora’s first time!

Of course Scott had to try and get scenic views.

He was running around while we tried to “work” the camera. Smile

Inside joke?

On our way home.

Never a dull moment

I wasn’t gone for very long.

All I needed to do is run to the store for some milk and fruit. On my way home I realize my husband is behind me in his car, on his way home from work. So we both get out of our cars and what’s the first thing out of his mouth?

No it wasn’t hi honey, how was your day. It was, is that your horse on the other side of the fence?

Oh don’t be silly!

Sometimes it just looks that way with the angles at the corners and such…

Wait a minute…

I don’t think this has anything to do with angles…

_DSC8385

I’m thinking it may have to do with tension!

Apparently the ground is pretty greasy when you want to run and play.

…and who was the horse that ended up on the other side?

_DSC8373

Sora!! I’m not sure who started it or what all happened but she was the only one with a mud bath. Well a dried mud mask! About 2 inches thick in some spots and only on her left side.

_DSC8387

Nothing a little elbow grease and a shedding comb couldn’t take care of.

_DSC8368

Make that allot of elbow grease and about 20 minutes of working through the dried mess.

So I’m thinking she’d been out for quite awhile and I’m a bad mama for not doing a security check before heading down the road.

Sora’s mama, Feather stood and watched the whole time.

While Whinny attempted to knock over the bag of horse treats…

_DSC8378-1

and…

_DSC8379-1

succeeded!

Still, this is my life and I wouldn’t give it up for any amount of money.

Donations are always welcome though. Winking smile

Until next time…Appy Trails.

My mare Feather is due to foal any day now. I’m frantic but with the help from my barn cam friends http://www.marewatchers.com/cam/spottedfeather.htm I’m able to get some sleep at night!

So it’s Saturday morning May 7th and still no midnight calls from the Mare Watchers Feather was due at the end of April but since she’s a first time mama we didn’t know what to expect. I’m up early, made my coffee and now it’s time to feed. I kick Feather out of her stall so I can clean it. It’s 6:30am now. Oh I’ll let her out into her paddock for awhile. I can get my coffee and Facebook fix. It’s kind of a rainy day but the view from my kitchen window is a direct view to her lot.

It’s now 7:45am. Feather looks good. Casually walking around her paddock. Oh I forgot to mention she has finally waxed up this morning. Could be today or tomorrow for a foaling.

It’s now 8:00am. Hmmm looks like Feather is resting now. Laying down but she’s done that allot lately. I have the scenario all planned out. Got my video camera on it’s tri pod in the barn. My digital camera along with it. My husband it going to take pictures while the video cam is filming at the perfect angle.

But wait did she just look at her belly? I’d better go check on her so I can get back to my coffee and Facebook.

Oh she see’s her mommy coming down to see her so she stands up to welcome me. What the???? Under her tail I see two baby feet wiggling!!!! OMG! This isn’t suppsed to happen now! My husband is at work, I’m here alone, the web cam is off!!

Ok gather yourself Lisa… climb through the fence and lead her calmly into her stall. Check. Close the door. Check! Run like hell back to the house. Check!! Grab my phone, turn on the barn cam, run like hell back down to the barn. Check, check, check!!!!!

Birthofafoal

Here we go!! This is the only shot I was able to get until little Sora entered the world.

Long story short… I was able to text my friends that wanted an alert and with my friend Betsy on speaker phone (watching my barn cam) I helped tired (and I’m sure a little confused Feather) bring Sora into the world.
