New babies Comming soon

Ok, when you get my age time flies right bye.. We have one due at the end of Feb or early March (paint). The mare I had leased in Utah is coming home this week and is due in April (AQHA ABRA).

When are your foals due? That is if you were crazy enough like some of us to breed this year..

You guys sure have the babies early,ours wouldnt survive with all the wet and wind etc over here,just far to miserable. We also dont have big barns to keep them in.

But i must confess i do like seeing all the foalie pictures from you guys,gets me all broody. No foals next year for me though

One January. I will raise one a year, just for us! We love them.
Our weather here is not much better. But, My barn is tight and warm. We get them out as much as possible. No Indoor arena yet! I said YET! Crossing my finders there. Might be my retirement present, So we know how far away that is.. OUCH.... Anyway.. Sister is blooming, and looks big now! But if I think about it, really its not that far away..

None for me this year but I'm all ready for breeding for 2010. But I will be waiting to see all your foaly pics.

We have a Feb baby coming out of my mare - and then my father in law has 1 due in Feb and 1 due in March/April... can't remember!

We are breeding 5 this spring (at least that is the plan)

We have a nice warm barn that can handle the really early foals.. Just remember one thing when you build one. They will come and you will be dang busy.. This is the first year we do not have one coming right around the first of Jan.. Over here they do not compete in what we like to do unless they are early. Have to remember all the Ber babies out there.. We call them CHEATERS... Too bad it has come to this.

Will not be long and camera's need to be ready.. I still have my pink foal blanket. But, I think my black mare will have a colt since she acted like a STALLION.. She was even mounting all the mares.. GAUD... IDIOT..

we have them spread out from end of March to end of May first of June (hate those June babies but they were bred to outside stallion) hope it will be worth it praying for blue/bay roan don't care the sex on that one and it will stay home so it doesn't matter the b-day. Our experience this year is that the better quality, big name mare's foals are holding value so far even in this market so we were pretty picky in who we bred, we will have several foals next year should be busy again, this past year we just had one. It has been hard going through and deciding which mares to keep some you get attached to on such a personal level.

Blue jay whats BER babies,never heard of that?

Yeah, I'm not sure what that is either.
Brennen's mare Sandy is due early January and Taegan's mare Freckles is due the end of Feb-early March.
And Whiskey was preg checked on Sept 6th. Something like 32 days at that point, so I still have time to needle her, but her owner seems to want to keep her bred and sell her as a broodmare.

before Jan. 1, =

You know like PUMPKIN FOALS, OR TURKY FOALS. How about the good ole, All I want for christmas babies... All I know is MY MARE HAD BETTER NOT FOAL EARLY THIS YEAR, I DONT WANT ANY SURPRISES, like she had done in the past!

Babies coming already! wow where does the time go?

I have 3 due beginning beg-mid april. Its too dang cold to go January here!

JJJ is right. People cheat and get those foals on the ground as much as 2 months before the new year. This way they have what is called the monster foals.. DAH.. Everyone elses that did not cheat has a smaller foal.. It's cheating and they do it all the time. Ber is SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER and DecemBER..

Never heard the term before? Well sometimes stuff happens, but I totally understand the "cheating" if its fully on purpose.

However, IMO, People are going to do what it takes to win, no matter what. So, not much for me to do about it, so I don't worry about it :0)

I've had late year babies before... but it certainly was not to "cheat". Didn't matter anyways, just a CPHA baby.

Ahhh Makes sense now.

people take things far to seriously,what happened to just the shear fun and enjoyement of the sport.

I may never win a class because I will not cheat. I wish they would get caught. Some of them do.. Either way it makes it really tough for those who do things the right way.

Im going to have to get a picture of Sister, She is HUGE this Year.

My one and only is due the end of Feb. She is getting a little tubby.. Nothing photo worthy yet though.. At least she stopped acting like a stallion and mounting the other mares...

Less than 60 DAYS AWAY! Where has this year gone!

no babies for me this year!!!!

Brennen's mare is getting huge. Ultra sounded her, so there better not be twins in there. Just over a month to wait now.

I have to have at least one! Love those babies! For me its THE most enjoyable part of having them.

I just look forward to seeing everyones babies over there. We havent any due next year. What with the way things are i just didnt breed my mare.

So take that as a big hint. I want lots of pictures to go awwww over

A couple of my mares are getting big, of course the really short backed mares look huge turned them out on one of the big pastures with hills, water at the bottom hay at the top trying to keep them exercised. Have some we are really excited about.

We have one paint coming by our stallion in late Feb. Then the mare I leased to a place in Utah is due in April. She is home now. These are pretty late for me so I am not ampt yet. Both mares are already getting LARGE in the middle.

Can't wait to see the shots as they arrive. Get your camera's ready.. I hope I get to use my pink blanket next year. This year I was so blessed to get the filly. Broke my heart when she died a week later.. I washed up the blanket and it's ready to try again.

Well, We ALL are going to have big Healthy Foals with no Problems! NONE, Hear Me, NONE! AND I MEAN IT!

Checked Sister last night, She is making a bag, not due till Jan, 10-14 And she had better not go early this year!
