Day 22 Coulee and Rosalee

Hey everybody, update your Belle's foal poll guess! Only 3 of you still in the running!

Coulee was much better today, got a little ramped up when I asked for a lope but overall settled much quicker and I got some nice circles at the lope.
This picture makes me laugh, she looks like a fat floating balloon!

 In fact she was so good that I put the neighbour girl (NG) up on her and led her around, even did a few circles around me.


After we put her away, I brought out Rosalee and did the same program with her, and I put NG up on her for a longer ride. Rosalee was so relaxed. NG wanted to trot, so I showed her how to ask the mare to speed up by clicking to her and bumping with her legs, and to stop bumping when she trotted.


By the time we were done it was already too hot (8:30AM) so that was enough for one day.

I have confirmed Rosalee in foal, it has been 31 days since the last day she was bred and there is no sign of her coming in to heat. Due date is May 12, 2018!

I change my guess to July 8th, 3am, buckskin colt. Are you sure that there is only one in there? ;)

Crystal, it can't be sorrel, Belle is homozygous for black based foals.

Sahara Belle always gets really big but no she was not tested for twins. The only time I had a mare with twins the foals were very small and the mare didn't look anywhere near as big as Belle is.

Um, July 12th, Winston, buckskin filly, 3am. I feel like I'm cheating by having so many guesses. :D

How fun to have a neighbor to share your horses with!! We are starting to melt down here in the Midwest too, and still raining frequently. I like your floating balloon :))
