"Gandy" x "Dallas" curly filly born July 6th

"Dallas" has done it again! A gorgeous bay based grey filly! She is tall and elegant with a pretty head and big soft eye! PRETTY GIRL!

Sisters

My sister Sherrie teaches school-- ( You know the 3 good reasons for being a schoolteacher? JUNE, JULY, AUGUST!) So we head for the hills to ride! Our favorite trails are up Payson Canyon, good trails that loop and are SOOO pretty! It had rained a few days before we went on our ride... about an hour up the trail, our horses were nervous and kept looking toward a marshy area.... when we came across this tree, we knew why! MOTHER BEAR!

SuMMeR FuN 2010

Aren't grandkids FUN!

"Tasha" x "Dallas" curly filly born Sept. 15th

So "Dallas" is 5 for 5-- 100% CURLS for his first foal crop! Check out the paint job on this girl! Because "Tasha" is also a curly, this filly could be homozygous for curls! We will watch her coat for the micro-curls! What a great summer!

"Sassy" x "Vegas" colt born.

DANG! Another straight haired colt out of "Sassy" x "Vegas". He was born Sept. 15th and is a chestnut with a big blaze! He will make an awesome gelding! (Photo is of his full brother 2002)

"Roxy" x "Dallas" foal born!

So.... I was HOME ALONE for the week--- In the morning, when I checked my mares, "Roxy" was in labor! Sure enough, that night, August 24th, 10:15 p.m., her foal was born! So by myself, (I usually do this by myself anyways!) I dried it off, treated the navel, gave it a vitamin shot, pro-biotics, and made sure it nursed. I was so excited---- another curly!! ("Dallas" is 100% curls so far) AND a bay FILLY! Was hoping it would be a amber champagne like her mom, but HEY! I will take curls any day!
I made sure mom was okay, checked the placenta, buried it, then went to bed-- about 1:30 a.m. I got up at 3:30 a.m. (I wake up every night at that time with a major HOT FLASH!! :< anyways! )
So the next day was hot and the little girl was acting plugged up. So I gave her an enema-- weird for a filly-- usually colts have to be helped--AND treated the navel-- AND again did this by myself.
So day three I went out to check my gorgeous curly filly and I am like-- YIKES! Her navel was swollen or herniated big time! A closer look revealed that indeed the curly filly was a curly HORSE COLT! I really do need to wear my glasses at all times! WARM FUZZIES TO YOU!
