Bred Marz

Jerry stopped by the barn Friday and dropped off a shot that I had to give to Marz. I know I gave it to her around one’ ish but I can’t remember the details on why I ran in gave it to her and left so fast. Weird. When I gave it to her I tossed her Halter on and then this time around I squeezed her skin. That way it wouldn’t be so harsh. She didn’t even flinch this time it was a perfect shot. Pulled her halter and tossed the used needle in the trash and left. Man I really can’t remember where I was head… I’m getting OLD.

Saturday was a LONG adventurous day. Because it was a weekend Feed won’t ship to your home, you have to go to the nearest drop location. Which for us was in Bothell! Yay not a short drive in the least. I wanted to leave very early but didn’t get around to it with horses to feed and stalls to clean. We left around noon and Jerry called me about every two hours to see where we were. In Bothell we took a wrong turn and had to back track and go threw a big business area to find the FedEx drop location. It was in the VARY back on the corner of the building. Once in there it took forever to get it. The women at the counter was having serious computer problems. It kept shutting down on her. So as we waited a few other people can in and they sat around and waited with us when the women waiting asked what was in the box. For lack of a better explanation I said ‘Sperm” which is true. The expression! Ha ha ha she nodded and then asked what kind, “Horse” she then followed that with a well I guess if they do it for humans. I found that more odd that shipping horse sperm.

We finally got it and I was able to ship beck the other box to the other breeder at the same time. Once we were on the freeway I call Jerry and told him we were on our way back and he said he’d meet me at the barn.

I was only there long enough to pick two stalls when he pulled in. He checked the box and made sure it was all there and then got some of his supplies. He pulled the sperm and it was in a zip lock type bag not a ‘zip lock’ but the sperm version. I had never seen one like that so I found it interesting. I must really entertain Jerry when I asked a million questions. He is filling the syringe and I’m look WOW. He left a little in the bag and stuffed it back in the container. He is going to check it on Monday and if it’s good then well, its really good for Marz! He stuffs the full syringe in his chest pocket and we head to Marz’s room.


We didn’t have to back her into the door way as it was just an insemination no checking anything. He tied her tail and she is such a goon about her butt being touched. When we first got her she hated it being touched it took a long time for her to be relaxed about it and here we are doing this to her. She’d clamp her tail down as hard as she could. Jerry laughed. We started by the stall door and went to the far wall and we had to push her over to about the middle of the stall with her head by her hay rack. She was not cooperating she’d either not move at all and we’d have to shove or she would go all the way to the other side. She was just not into this at all today!

I wouldn’t blame her. He inseminated her and by now Jerry and I have our own little ritual we do after. We both hover our hands above her bum and do the wax on wax off thing chanting pregnant, filly pregnant filly! Yes we are strange!!!

Now we are waiting…. And waiting….. First will be Forba then Mc and then Marz. I think I will go crazy by the time we get to Marz!

Jerry called me this morning and asked if I had school today and I said I did so he decided to just come check Forba tomorrow. Fine by me, so we will see if Forba in Prego tomorrow!
