Who will have the first PQ foal of 2010?

[LB]

Congrats again cewright!

Springboro, don't you just hate those mix-ups? (unless of course you were hoping for a filly. )

I have two mares due in Jan. Mare 1 was last covered by Wimbledon on 2/19, mare 2 was last covered by Sun King on 2/23.

I am still waiting. Both mares are at the foaling farm, which offers 24 hour monitoring. At last report they were "enjoying the hospitality".

Finally! Saturday about 11:30 am we were blessed with a Sun King filly. I am trying to get some quality photos to post. One down, one to go.

Our Wimbledon colt arrived about 11:00 pm last night in the midst of a record snow storm. I am trying to figure out how to get the pictures from the phone to the PC .

Congrats Chuck! She looks lovely.

2nd foal arrived this morning at 1:30 am. Small light chestnut filly with a large star. This is the Hap - Seaven Teares, by Aljabr foal. She's so small and exquisite... like a toy. She let me hold her head in my lap and slept that way for a bit. Her dam should have been a prized holstein - if anyone needs milk this mare could feed 3 foals! She's a maiden, but you should see the udder on her! At one point, I heard the scary sound of hooves scraping on the baby's blanket and worried that the mother was stepping on her. I looked over to see mom carefully pawing at her sleeping baby... apparently feeling the pressure to nurse again.

so... two fillies, neither mine at this point. I do get listed as co-breeder though. My last two... it feels so surreal. You all be sure to share your stories with me and make me proud!

OK, now I'm jealous. I keep reading all these wonderful reports and I want a foal of my own.

My first mare due is bagged up, waxing, and her belly is hanging so low it swings when she walks. Her "due date" was yesterday. I wish I knew what she was waiting for.

cewright, your Wimbledon foal is a cutie. Congratulations again, springboro!

It's a boy and I'm so happy! We had a Hard Spun colt on Valentine's Day.

Here he is, about 15 minutes old:

[JYS]

Oh my LB, how fantastic! Good luck with him!

And Springboro, congrats on the two safe foalings!

And Chuck, that Wimbledown is cute as can be.

I love this time of year when everything goes right!

[Mood Swings]

Congrats LB A very handsome Valentine's Day boy!

Congratulations Laurie!! What a cutie pie! There have to be some good names considering the holiday - will you keep and name this one or is he sales bound?

Dont you just love it when things go the way they are supposed to? Congrats again!!

[madelyn]

Nice colt! How about "Heartspinner?"

Congratulations Laurie!! What a cutie pie! There have to be some good names considering the holiday - will you keep and name this one or is he sales bound?

With Valentine's Day and Hard Spun, I loved the name HARD HEARTED but I checked and it's already taken.

Jessi, we'll keep him until he's a yearling and then we'll see. Most of ours go to the sales but we almost always keep one from each crop to race. I'll let you know next year.

[JYS]

Hard Hearted was a great choice. Too bad about it being taken.

At least with him as a possible (and very good!) sales foal, naming him won't really be a big priority.

We have a Repent due in a few days. Lets see if the mare holds on or goes when she's suppose to. She's in Alberta, Canada of all places and they'll both be getting on a truck to Kentucky when the time is right.

Congrats on the Hard Spun foal! I hope his offspring take on the courage of their dad.
