Chillin'

When it gets hot out, Chickory loves to be sprayed when I'm filling the water tubs. Take note, Amy! You may have to set up a sprinkler for her until she gets accustomed to the Texas heat!
Yesterday I noticed that the mares were galloping around the pasture, and when I stepped out to investigate, Rio was the cause. He was pestering Chickory, trying  to mount her, and she was running away from him- and double-barreling him but he kept persisting. It took me a while to catch him, but I did, and he has earned solitary confinement. All the mares are bred, but just to be sure I will tease Chickory with Beamer. She was bred April 6-14, and has shown no sign of coming in to heat again. If she didn't catch she should have been in heat again over a week ago. But we'll check her back to make sure. 



Woe is meeeee.....
Did it work? Can I go back with the gurlz now?

We are in a drought! She's gonna have to suck it up like the rest of us. LOL I'm kidding!! She will have a week here with me before I send her farther south for more training. Poor girl, she's going to have one heck of a culture shock. haha

It got so bad here that we separated the boys and girls for a while.

Maybe its just the time of year, i was watching out the window yesterday morning and Jessie is in heat and I saw Razz mount her. It was weird, i didn't think mares did that!

Crystal- no, I don't need another stud! If he doesn't sell by the end of the month I'm booking him in for brain surgery.
