The 2010 Breeding Season is in full swing.
Springtime here at the Ranch always means new foals being born!
The first new additon was born January 31st - By our stallion OBVIOUSLY MORTGAGED out of our mare SHES AWESOME COPY. Nicknamed "Smokey", he is a black colt & is stunning!
Then, 5 hours later, in the wee hours of February 1st, our Quarter Horse mare "Moka" BANKIN ON IMPRESSION gave birth to "Manly", a solid sorrel colt, also sired by OBVIOUSLY MORTGAGED. He is very tall & very handsome!
Both of our new boys are fine & growing like weeds! We plan on showing them starting in August, if all goes well. These are the only two foals of our own for 2010, but we are foaling out several customer mares. One of these, "Kelly" foaled a Quarter Horse filly just 3 days later on March 4th.
Another customer mare "Hershey" foaled a sorrel QH filly on April 9th. Her owners were all here to witness the birth. they even brought Hershey candy bars to help celebrate!
We still have 3 more mares in the barn that haven't foaled yet.
Needless to say, we are a little sleep deprived around here :-) Our barn web cam is up & running, especially in the nightime hours, and extra viewers are always appreciated to help keep an eye on the pregnant mares. You can view our cam broadcast at http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=kruger
Not much time to take photos, but I did snap one on Easter Sunday.
We had a good group show up to ride on a beautiful day. I cooked a ham & we everything folks contributed to the table we had a freat potluck Easter dinner for all to share afterwards.
Show season has begun & several in the barn have already been out & about showing their horses.
Here is a photo of some of them practicing Trail in our indoor arena.
I hope to have some show photos of eveyone all dressed up at the shows, to share the next time I get back here!
I hope the grass is growing & the flowers are blooming wherever you are!
