My oldie is due Jan 30, but she hung on to it last year so we'll see.
Good thoughts for all safe births.

March 9. My mare hasn't produced a live foal in 2 years, so our fingers are crossed.

Carpe Demon first foal out of a barrel racing quarter mare(by Formal Complaint) was born a couple days ago in Saguenay:a big chestnut with 4 white legs and a star,very correct and looks like daddy...This stud was lended out last spring,he came back last fall after owner got a leg cut with a chain saw...So i guess i am stuck with one more horse...
The sport and industry survive not only because of the champions that are remembered forever but also because of the losers that are so easy to forget...

I have 8 due this year, the first coming up quick on Feb 15. I am hoping for a Valentine's baby so I can be clever with the name.
I have two due in March, four in April and one in May. It will be a long, sleepless spring...
