Wow, Its been awhile!

Hello everyone! I must apologize for being a terrible blogger! It has been crazy for the past few months, and time has just seemed to sneak up on me! So please forgive me.

Lady is due February 7th, so we still have a good waiting period. She is huge! Poor Girl, Thankfully, she doesn't seem as big as she did last year. She is in foal to Mr Yella Fella, and I am so excited to see this foal, hopefully this palomino filly! The foal will be N/N, and should be quite the looker. Lady is our only mare due this year, and while it is sad for you Harpole Farms watchers, it is a nice break for me! It will give me more time to work with the foal, and look on the bright side, it will be an only child, so that means TONS of pictures! ;)

All of the other horses are doing great! Everyone is fat and happy, and looking wonderful. Fixation has really benefited from the year off, and lately has been playing and throwing up her heels out in the pasture. I didn't know she could still move like that! Ruth is good too, she doesn't really like us bothering her, so she is happy. Banner, has to be the most annoying horse in our pasture! (To us and his herd mates.) I thought Scout was bad, whew, not anymore! Scout just keeps growing and growing, she is huge!!! She has to be about 16.2 or 16.3 right now. She just turned three! I have been riding her, and she is so amazing under saddle, talk about a mover! Then of course, there is Classi (my retired show mare) who is enjoying the life of a pasture mare. She and Lady are best buds.

Alright, so foaling season is starting alittle late here at Harpole Farms, but it should be an exciting one! Lady is looking wonderful, and I can't wait to see her foal! I promise to keep everyone updated. The cam is not on at the moment. I am kind of thinking since it is just Lady foaling this year (the easiest mare to foal out), about not using the cam, but I know how much everyone enjoys it. So I will work with it today, BUT, if it gives me trouble, I am going to be very mad! ;)

You guys have a great week! Taylor
