Well finally little girl made an appearance! This mare has been waxed for 16 days, and the waiting was getting a bit ridiculous! Ha!!
Here she is BIG BIG filly, just love her! This is the mare our dear old friend gave to us before he passed as he wanted her in good hands. His name was Stirling and his wife who is still living is Betty and their daughter is Lynn. So when she came out I came up with "BLING" B for Betty, L for Lynn and Ing from Stirling!
Gorgeous straight foal and completely full of herself already!
Miss Bling!
Look at the steady stream of milk running from the side she's not nursing on! I think this mare is half holstein!
Few hours old, thinking about having a bite of hay with mama
So that's it! Grand total of 5 foals this year, 3 percherons and 2 paints! THANK GOD It's over! We obviously lost our minds breeding 5 last year.. But thankfully all deliveries went perfect.. Only issue was having the one mare not accept her foal.. He's doing awesome, gaining weight everyday and completely full of P and V! ha..
Here is a pic of him from last night, having a nap after his bottles.. Bubba, my boyfriend named him Bubba because he says he's always looking for his BUBBA! ha
