Hello to all. We weaned "Mister" yesterday. He's not a happy camper at all. I feel so bad for them at this stage. The mama's too. They have to deal with a very full udder and missing their baby. A couple of the other mares have been coming up to the fence where "Babe" has been hanging out since we weaned and it's like they are coming up to get her and tell her to come join the herd.
"Darlin" is making great progress with training. We are using Clinton Anderson's techniques and it is really working very well. She'll be going to her first show here in a couple of weeks.
"Goldie" is turning out very nice. She's going to be stout. Still staying an unusual color palomino.
"Lace" our first mare to foal in 2008 is coming along really well. She's bellied out well and is looking right on for her due date. Lets hope she doesn't go 12 months like last time!!
Hope all of you are having a good summer. We are still in a very serious drought situation. No local hay to speak of so we are headed to Oklahoma within the next week or so to get some.
Our cam situation is still on hold. Apparently we have a problem with the new Windows Vista operating system on this new computer. We are in the process of rebuilding the hard drive on the old "Windows 98" computer and we wil have it dedicated to the cams for the 2008 season. Our cam soft ware won't run on Vista. I am hearing this is a problem alot of people are having. This new wondpws operating system has to have Windows software or the programs won't run.
Well thanks for watching!
