Sorry about this.....

Hey guys, we are putting Missy and Omaha in a different stall tonight, with out a cam, so I am very sorry to all of you addicted foal watchers! I promise that we will get some more cams next yr, so you can watch the birthing stall, and the mare/foal stalls. We are just getting it ready for Ruth, who is already bagging up. Remember, she is due March 9th, but I am definitely betting on her going early. The vet was out today tube worming all the horses, and said there was nothing to worry about, she looks great. This is our first yr having her as a broodmare, since we bought her open last yr, so she might just like going early. LOL. This one is going to be a lot different from Missy. Ruth was raised like all of the old Skippers, in a pasture without much human contact.... So she isn't a huge fan of cuddling, or being brushed or anything like that. I might try to pet her somedays, but if you don't see us in there, it is just because she is kind of scared of us. So, I won't be wrapping her tail or anything like that.... Can you imagine??? You should have seen us trying to worm her today. Can anyone say, Professional Rodeo horse? Just kidding, it wasn't that bad... hehehe. We got some shavings today, Yeah!!! But unfortunately, Class-Class still has to stay outside. Poor girl, she wasn't very happy last night. Ok, on a last note, remember Ruth is bred to Hes Tee Totally Cool. He is double registered. So we might get a nice Paint/Quarter FILLY. LOL. Thanks, Taylor

Hey Taylor,
It's been a while since I've been able to post. Life is so busy sometimes! It sounds like Ruth is moving right along...that is so exciting. I am looking forward to watching more mares foal at Harpole! Hopefully she will get better about being handled after she has her foal and all the interaction she will get from that. We've definitely had mares like that too. I am even more excited about seeing her foal now that I know who she is bred too!! I have been keeping him in the back of mind as a potential cross for quite a while. You have chosen such classy stallions to breed your mares too. It makes mare watching for me even better because I am really looking forward to seeing those foals!
Best of luck for the remainder of theh foaling season (& breeding season too!)
Jay
