Late Update on Events

I have been very busy with school and horses so I have been slacking on the blogs.

To go back I will have to start with when I prostin them. That was fun. No one wanted to come in from the pasture. I had to chase them around and that was so un-fun! I hate that I had to actually trick Marz into coming which I have not had to do it YEARS. I swear. So I gave Mc her first as she came to me.

She is a trooper and stood still for her shot. While she ‘processed’ so to speak I caught Marz. She was pissed! She brooded and glared at me. Poking her with the needled she jumped away and my hand slipped off of the needle. When I got her to stand still I had to pull the needle back out and re-poke her which was a good thing as she drew blood. When I did it again it was fine and she jump a little but it wasn’t as bad, dramatic mare. Mc had still not started to sweat so I walked both of the mares around the big barn. My grandma came down and walked around with us. Which I thought was neat, we had a great talk.

Of course Marz broke out in a big sweat and I ended up putting Mc back and walking Marz up and down the hill a few times. She did this the last time and I was sure she would do it again I was happy Mc didn’t though.

So on Sunday Kayt and I hauled the mares up to the breeding farm after we went to a tack sale. No one was at either barns which was odd so I just took them home. Hey save me money!

Monday March 8 I hauled them over to the Breeding farm to get them checked. Tauge had a problem with one of the breeders. I like using the Equitainer as it is proven to protect the seamen better then any other shipping method. I have NEVER had any problems using one and have had horrid results using the cardboard box. I asked the breeding farm if we could use there and they said that was not a problem. I need to get a few for when I ship for Wynter. I love them. Well one farm all out refused to use it. I found that odd but whatever if they think there stallion can hold up in that container then whatever. I just hope it comes swimming ha ha.

That was news to me so we checked Mc and she was perfect right on time and ready to breed Wednesday. Wahoo. Pulling Mar out was a different story she was 2 days behind. Grr great figures problem mare. The plan was that I leave them there but Tauge just told me to take them home and bring them back. They had no room and he looked as if he didn’t want to deal with it. On top of that he was having problems figuring out who was who. Both mares look a lot alike.

Yesterday Jerry called me and said I need to give one of the mares a shot. He said he could drop it off and I can give it to her myself. Sounds perfect except I had school when he could come out and drop it off. In the end I met him in town where we made the switch! I bolted back to the barn and gave it to her and beboped to school.

Well today is so far so crazy. I woke up and had missed a call from the breeding farm. Before I could even call him back I got a call from one of my breeders. I had to talk to them about a few loose ends. When I got of the phone with them I listened to my messages and Tauge said that the seamen that was supposed to ship today was held at the FedEx Bothell depot. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I wanted to scream. So I called the other breeder and got the tracking number and called FedEx and it is due to arrive at 4:30. After that I called the breeding farm back and then called the vet twice! Crazy stuff. Breeding season can never ever go smooth I swear. When and if a season goes by and it is by the book I will flip out. Something must not be right.

I am waiting to haul the mares up there later today. Will post when we figure that one out.
