Since I have the horses separated at night now, Beamer has started showing off in the mornings when I turn them out together. He is perfectly mannered as I lead him to and into the pen, but once he is loose, he heads for Jayne, just a talkin' away and posturing... silly boy!
He threw in some fancy moves too 😎
She doesn't look very impressed, so he had to bust a move or two....
Oh hey, Jayne looka here!
Nope. Not impressed.
Look how tall I am!
Oh look, grass!
But I can balance on one foot!
Yeah..... whatever!
And off she went in search of the longest grass 😋
Jayne is now over the 320 days, and I have begun my camp out foal watch as of this evening. My "cabin" project is at what builders call the lock down stage- Door and windows are in and the back wall is all closed up... which may give you a clue as to what it is that we are remodeling into a cabin!
I have my cot set up in there and here is a teaser as to what my view is:
Ted had just cut the opening for the last window, and it looks directly into the shelter in the foaling pen.
Jayne still has a way to go, but I want her to get used to me popping out to check on her in the middle of the night.
Shayla sent me a nice photo of Belle, who is now at 339 days.
The mare in the background is Shayla's mare Concho, who is in foal to Drifter's sire and should foal a little bit after Belle. They seem to have buddied up, much to Gussie's dismay. But she has Shayla's mare Rose to be her buddy now. Seems the pregnant mares want to hang out together.
If you haven't entered the foaling contest yet, click here for the post with all the information.
I will have something made locally to give away and will show you what it is as soon as I get it.

Well, he’s very athletic but Jayne is so totally unimpressed! Grass takes precedent over everything! Too funny.
Can't blame a guy for trying to impress the ladies with his bestest moves. Not sure about the cabin, reflections look like metal so maybe Ted is converting one of the sheds into your Cowgirl Cabin.
What ever your new digs are I hope it is comfy...is it a horse trailer? Oh Beamer...so funny! What a show off!
The chestnut mare ignoring the black stallion as he leaps about trying to impress her is exactly my favorite scene from Black Beauty - have you seen it? I have no idea how they trained those horses to synchronize their moves together. How do you stage a Jayne and Beamer?
Lytha- Beamer is a natural ham for the camera. No staging required for him!
that was funny! "oh look, grass!" 😁
Both the mares are looking great! Excited to see what babies they have this year
