welcome the newest member of the farm family!

[amanda509]

well, the first out of 3 pregnant mares dropped today! a gorgeous buckskin filly! thats 2 buckskins, one black colt (who did not survive), a roan colt, and a paint..all from one stallion, he is one heck of a color thrower! anyhow..this is the farm i work at over the summer..i live there in the summer, but its too far of a drive for school time -.- and BECAUSE of this naughty stallion and his herd of mares...there is no longer room for my horse..the pasture is being overgrazed as it is..most of the horses on the farm are for sale to make room for mine, but the horse market is in a pitfall right now..if theres no room in a month or two..my horse will be sold :/

daddy diablo one of the sweetest stallions i know

Gorgeous little girl!!

what happened to the black foal?

and can we see pix of the other foals?!

I love horses, When i have my own land, i plan to get some thouroughbreds, and with any luck and money, a fresian. maybe some paints, appaloosas, just about any type, and a few ponies for my kids.

cept for tennessee walkers, i dont like the stretched out torso of them. looks... strange...


and dad is throwing some crazy colors. my mom did barrel racing and cow cutting growing up, she bred several times, but most stallions throw similar colors, not all over the place with a roan, paint, black, buckskin! very luck! its like a mystery baby!

what happened to the black colt was actually a total surprise, but the same thing happened to the roan, but he survived. the barn owner has has bad experiences with losing mares giving birth in stalls..so she lets them give birth in the pasture because theres always someone around to keep an eye on them. and in this one pasture, theres a pond with a pretty steep bank, this is the first year not one, but two mares gave birth on the pond bank! the black colt fell in and drowned, they found it seriously 10 minutes after it was born, and the roan fell in, but they caught it in time and saved him, hence his name is lucky

so heres some pics of the siblings, 1st one is of lucky the roan colt, 2nd is of jigsaw the paint colt, and 3rd is elsa the buckskin filly

oh my! i was expecting a preemee, birth defect, etc. not it drowned! thats so sad. is there another pasture the mares can go into to give birth?

jigsaw is amazing, even if hes showing off his manhood in that pic

elsa is so cute- love how much the eyes sit out from the head like that when first born.

and i love the one white sock on lucky.

you are so lucky to have them. i wish i had money/space/time for horses right now.

and even if i did, theres no good real trail riding around where i am.

i think you may have to be 21 to do that. and yea i hated being up that area.

i lived in cumberland for 3 years, sucked trying to get employed. went to altoona a fwe times, the best buy there is great.

I had to buy a computer, and that best buy had it, but i was late getting there to pick it up, they held it at customer service, and stayed open for another 15 minutes after closing, just for me.

if you find a job in a good area, then you can normally use that job info as proof you will pay your rent.

thats a good idea...ill have to look around

 

[pssh]

If it comes down to it, start applying for jobs in the food biz! If it means keeping your animals anyways. You can always sell things online too. Or go to yard sales and resell things online. It's easy money if you know what to look for.
