We just found out yesterday that Molly, one of the rescues, is due to foal in a couple of months. While this is somewhat exciting, it is really not a good thing. Molly is too young and small for a pregnancy to be safe for her, and we have no idea how big the stallion was. All we can do is care for her properly and hope for the best. You can see in the photo that she is still underweight. At this point, though, the vet says don't overfeed her because we want the foal to stay as small as possible. It is possible that Ginger was bred too, but if so, she is not as far along as Molly.

Happy New Year!

Can't believe it is already 2007.
We've had a very mild winter so far and so we have been able to keep working on the barn which is basically finished. And it's a good thing because we now have four horses living here. Abby, our daughter's horse, Rupert, boarded here by a friend from work, and two rescues, Molly and Ginger. Molly and Ginger came right after Thanksgiving. Both are very young and untrained, but they seem to be responding well to all the food and attention. Needless to say, with four horses and a lot of goats, we are tearing through the hay.
