I Can Sleep!!! Finally!

I am finally done waiting for foals this year! Lexis foaled early Wednesday morning around 5:00. I was a little late. Baby was standing and almost dry except for the top of her back. She is another tall black baby with a big white star. I am really hoping she turns grey since her Daddy is grey. She a little shorter than Bussy's baby but she has a lot more body. I was very impressed. Lexis is being an excellent mom. I was nervous since she is a maiden mare and she can be quite touchy but she had no issues. She let me come right in and help baby nurse and dry her off the last little bit.



I have decided to name her baby Oasis. I haven't decided on a registered name yet. Lexis' registered name is Class of Her Own and the sire is Manhattan. These pictures were taken today not even a week after she was born. This was the first time that she was turned out in a big pen so she can stretch her legs. I am really excited about her and can't wait to see how she turns out as she grows up.



Bussy's filly is doing good too. She has attitude and is already turning into her sister Boo. She is friendly and curious and she likes to move! I've been calling her Dallas and probably will be registering her as Finally Bustin' Out.

Here's a few pictures from the last couple days.







I was also at Mane Event with Mel doing some clinics with Bobby Richards. Loretta, one of my students, also came and she rode Riley. She did an awesome job especially since she found out that she was going only about a week before and she has never shown or anything before!

I've also decided to try and sell Dixie. She's an 18 year old mare. She likes to trail ride and is very smooth. She does not have a lot of time on her and would need a confident beginner or intermediate rider. I am asking $2500 for her. You can check out video of her on Youtube.

BABY! FINALLY!!!!

Bussy finally foaled on Tuesday night at about 10:30. About 2 and a half weeks late... I got there just afterwards. Baby was still wet and Bussy hadn't dropped her after birth yet.

She had a huge black filly with a star and 3 white feet. She's all legs! I haven't decided what to call her yet.






Now I just have to wait for Lexis to foal. She's not due until the end of the month but she looks close.
