So excited!

[shyykatt]

Ok, this may seem strange to you.....in 'my family' we are expecting a baby- baby horse! Its due around the 19th of April, I am a nervouse wreck (been breeding for many years, and have lost 2 of my best mares/foals from BAD deliverys). Her name is "Glory"- shes a little thing, and a bit uncomfy in this pic

[eastern ontario]

she's a beaut! how old is she?

[Jackrabbit379]

Shyykat! I had no idea that you were a Wrangler. :P Congrats on the foal. Hopefully, it will come out alright.
No pun inteded. :shock:

[shyykatt]

thnx! Yeah, I'd talk 'horses' on here all the time if ya'll would let me!

She is 13 this year. I actually bred 3 mares last year, but shes the only one that settled. Hubby found her a year ago 'hiding' in someones back yard- the people were afraid of her, let us take her for $600; well gee, she is dead broke, and has a fantastic pedigree! Their loss I guess. i'll try n' put a pic of the proud daddy on here too.

[shyykatt]

this is "Xtreme"- He's 5 this year; I've been trail-training/riding him mostly, but soon I'll be training him for show. As you can see, he loves to play!

Shyy if you want to talk about horses go right ahead. I'm sure there's others who'd love to chat about them too with you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you with the birth in April. Let us know how things turn out o.k.? Drive safe everyone.

[shyykatt]

A green light?!! Yeehaw- but don't say I didn't warn ya!

I've had 3 horses die within 5 years (2 mares were pregnant, so 5 if ya count the babies) - just 'freik occurances'- nothin' I did wrong (according to all the vets, friends, etc). I think when you want something so bad, the powers that be really put you to the test. Most days I want to get out of it, and just go OTR w/hubby- not sure if I am cut out for that though. Horses are the one thing that I'm good at, but 'living your dream' comes w/a price I guess. Anyway, that is why I'm on edge right now- don't know if I could watch another one die in front of me; I'm talking horrible- blood all over, and not a dang thing you can do to save them- just hope the vet gets there quick so you can put them out of their misery. ANYWAY...... Will definetly show ya'll the pics of 'it' when he/she gets here!

ShyyKatt, You have some pretty Horses. My wife is a horse lover also! We have 2 mares of our own.


If I could figure out how to post picture's, I would show them!

[LilBit]

Those are some beautiful pictures you have there, best wishes to the momma and baby that all goes well and you have some new baby pictures to share when the time is right.......my husbands sister (an over the road trucker herself) has within the past year finally realized her dream of owning her own horse, she has some lovely people here that take care of her 'baby' while she's on the road and she spends most if not all her free time over there with her 'baby' when she gets back in ..... Keep us posted, we'll be waiting to hear some good news

[shyykatt]

Thought I'd show ya my old girl; "Galaxy"- been w/me for 20 yrs now, she is almost 30, has some arthritis, and is about 75% deaf. I've done EVERYTHING with this mare- chased cows, barrel racing, parades, camping, shows,swimming in the lake, taught her how to drive once, but only hooked her up to a cart a few times, and shes got more miles on her than some of yer super trucks!

[shyykatt]

jest countin' down the dayz now- time cant go any slower :!:

Today my pup got a snip-snip; hes the saddest dog I've ever seen- poor feller'.

[mapleleaf_1]

Yes Shyy the time will creep along. LOL I've got that to do with one of my male Siberian huskies in the next month too. I hate to do it but it's got to be done. Drive safe everyone.

[Truckfam]

skyy, I love the pictures of your horses. I love the avatar also. I'm a horse lover myself, eventhough I don't really know if I'd actually want to raise one though.

I hope everything goes well with this mother and foal.

[shyykatt]

Got another thing to be excited about.....a while back/in another thread I told ya'll about the meth-heads around here causing so much trouble; they finally busted the one house down the road from me- I had my suspicions and nobody believed me (until I had taken some pics & other people complaining)- the dude that lives there is FINALLY locked up, and they found all sorts of meth-related goodies. Wonder if I'll get my gas can back?

Jest had to tell someone

"Glory" is starting to show more signs- baby could come any day really- im nervous :wink:

[shyykatt]

Grrrrr......not-so-excited anymore- 'Glory' is takin' her sweet ole time w/having this baby- she was due the 19th- just when I think 'this is it'- ......nothing happens! :? :sad:

[eastern ontario]

Awwwwww, that sounds like me with my first, honestly I thought I was having a horse too! Just didnt want to come into this world.

Hope it all happens soon!

[LilBit]

OK you get out there and tell her it's time already I wanna see the baby pics C'mon Glory lets get this baby ball rollin Have you planned any names for baby yet?

[mapleleaf_1]

The suspense is killing us already. LOL Induce her! LOL Drive safe everyone.

[shyykatt]

Ya'll R funny!
I've been tellin' her everyday, "Its baby time!"- but she just looks at me and then waddles away. I usually pick out the registered name, my husband gets the 'barn name'- or 'pet name'; Tom says we are going to have to call it "May" if its a girl, b/c it should have been born in April!
It'll probably be 'Integritys something'- our farm name is Integrity Farm Arabians- other than that, I just want the dang thing to get here!!!!

[shyykatt]

FINALLY!!! Had us a colt last night- what a cutie! Will post pics when I get a chance Ima' happy 'grandma'
