Hurray. Much better in the memory department today, LOL.

Buddy update: He went out in his paddock for 3 hours this morning. It's been a little cool, so he is wearing his foal coat, so cute. He's all snug and warm in it, but he's growing so fast it's almost too small for him already. He was very calm and relaxed in his paddock, did a few wheelies and a bit of a trot round; wow, does he have a trot and a half. Huge elevation, like his sister Flori. I suspect that he's going to be a great dressage prospect. His walk is enormous; we almost had to run to keep up with him when we were bringing him in. He remains a happy little guy, and we totally love him to bits.

Our pregnant mare Kismet looks ready to pop anytime. She still has almost 3 weeks to go, but I think she's going to have it by this coming weekend. She was lying down in her paddock this afternoon, and couldn't get up because her belly was so big. Kelly, Sue and I had to help her...and trying to get a 1500 pound horse up isn't easy! We moved her into the foaling stall today, so everything is ready. I admit that we're all feeling very anxious, because of what happened to poor Phaedra. So if you can spare some positive thoughts for our Kizzie and her baby, I would appreciate it!

The weather is still very cool, but at least today it was warm enough in the afternoon that I could take off my jacket.

I'm very sleepy all of a sudden. Think I might try to get an early night. The farrier is coming at 10 a.m. to do my horses' shoes.
