You will enjoy your baby but it does change your lifestyle.  Raise your kids to fit your lifestyle is what they say.   Are you going to find out what you are having?  The horse market is still strong depending on what you can do with the horses.  Weanlings and yearlings are cheap cause nobody wants to feed them.  I have noticed out here that well bred green broke 2 yr olds are pricey but what they are willing to pay for is really broke horses.  Either have to sell em cheap as young ones or keep them and make sure they are started well then sell them.  The mid range horse has really been the ones taking the hit.  The cheap and high end range are still the same, but I have noticed that horses that used to be sold in the 3500-8500 range are now like 1500-2500.   Doesn't affect me much, I always priced my babies to move anyway and the ones I keep I really don't intend to sell.  The TB's will more than likely get claimed at the track.

Yeah we are going to find out what we are having!  My mom has already went NUTS shopping.

Hey do you know why my horses are eatting my trees?  Actually the bark?  They get free choice trace mineral block, 12% feed, and a graa/alfalfa/timmothy mix hay.  Same thing they have always gotten fed.  My FIL's horse is the one who started it now Fran seems to be joining in...

Horses her don't seem to be selling at all.  Unless they are KY bred.

sometimes horses do it because they want more fiber and sometimes it seems that they sap is rising this time of year and they want the green.  They are missing something.  Mine won't do it if they have access to hay 24/7 or are left to run on the pastures.

Let me know when you find out what you are having.  I bet your mom has went nuts shopping.  First grandchild thing you know.  Shocked

Yeah I talked to my feed man last night.  He said give them more hay.  He didn't think they were nessisarly lackying any minneral, just forage.  He said alot of horses do it this time of year with snow on the ground.  So I uped there hay by about 2 flakes each.  Mine never did it when they had a round bale or even before this other horse came along.  Thanks for the info!

I will let you know!  Don't you worry!

So this summer I am wanting to show Roses Yearling in a few Longe line classes.  Don't you know I have only found ONE and it's in Sept when I will be huge!  So frustrating.  When I showed my on yearling all those years ago it was like I was showing him everyother weekend, or once a month.  GRR..  I so have the show itch.  I would be at the AQHA Regional Expericance this year if it weren't for my "condition", LOL!  Are you finding any races out your way?

Well you should be able to find a few lunge line classes in Indiana, I think the Indiana State Quarter Horse show has them in their circuit in June or July. 

There are all kinds of barrel races out here almost every day of the week if you want to haul like that.  They have a lot of the fun type shows at the saddle club too and they even put on regular barrel races.  Seems like a lot of people out here have their own arenas that are lighted because of all the roping going on out here.  Not for me, I like my fingers to much and all that.  LOL

It isn't a filly it is a gelding.  I am hoping to have him ready for a start this fall out here to get his gate card and all that then ship him to run in Indiana nest year as a 3 yr old.  I am not a big fan of racing 2 yr old TB's.  They grow a little slow for me.  You could get some growth on Bullwinkle by giving him some wheat germ oil.  It is a natural steriod and the old timers used to use it to push growth in the old days before all the synthetic stuff came on the market.  Buy 100% and not blended.  I used to order it by the gallon.  Don't want to feed any to a stud tho, kind of makes them rank after about 30 days or so on it.  LOL.  found that out the hard way.  Rex's 100%, not blended.  Bossy has grown quite a bit this winter, she is scheduled to go to the trainer in May along with all the others, going to leave her about 60 days and leave Snort (Lena's baby) 60 days the TB gelding will only stay for 30 then go to track for his education then come home for the winter.

Sun Tzu's oldest is a 2yr old that we gelded.  He is heading for a hopeful career at the race track.  I know what filly you are talking about now, my Christmas present.  She isn't ready to run barrels, have to start her on the pattern.  I have been working with her some but she has no personality at all, but that is okay.  I am hoping to start riding on a regular basis sometime n the next week and will make a report then.

 Grin Good!  At least you are getting to work with her!  Mine are a muddy mess. 

I have been sick for about a week.  Not morning sickness sick, but more like upper respitory sick.  It has really drained me.

There is a lot of flu that has been going around, be careful of that.  The mud is starting to dry up around here but then it has been really warm and sunny.  Like in the upper 50's and lower 60's.  Winter should be over for you all too.  Then you really get to look forward to a muddy mess.  I hate mud.  nailgun

Wow  Shocked  Sure glad I wasn't there for that.  They say 76 today and at 9:00am I am in a t-shirt outside so it must be!  Supposed to only be arund 59 this time of year.  Some people have already started planting gardens and looks like we are going to have to mow the yard this coming week.  I sold Sissy, the old crippled barrel mare I rode last year, she goes to her new home next week.  Going to be a broodmare and I am glad of that, she really does try but I only want to keep one quarter horse as a broodmare and that is Renee
