It's one day at a time. Sola is due any day.
In horse days that is sometime between last week and early June. In people days, it is an eternity. She makes progress in noticeable steps and a few times we've gotten ready. Hey, even Duane switched the stall from shavings to straw.
Sola is not a tidy housekeeper and he informs me her daily straw usage is the same as six show steers. But, we eat steers and they don't have babies.
Her temperament ranges from loving to very crabby to very, very crabby. The baby rocks and rolls from side to side and appears to be a salsa dancer. This doesn't stop Mom from eating and eating and eating.....
With our recent rain, Sola manages to frequently roll in the mud - a true mudder from the track. This results in a full grooming every night as I don't want Ruby (or name to be determined if it's a boy) to meet a dirty Mom.
Photos soon. I'll manage the update here so your email isn't flooded with no news email.
Here's your chance to contribute to the baby name pool.
Mom = Sola, aka - Crimson Queen (a thoroughbred)
Dad = Sonny, aka - Sonnys Hot Jazz (AQHA) www.sonnyshotjazz.com
Both parents are deep sorrels with white stockings and blazes. The winner gets fame and fortune with this Incentive Fund Foal.
